About Ariel Martin

Hey there! I am Ariel (pronounced Are-ree-elle). I feel slightly awkward when it comes to introductions, but enjoy genuine connection much like a lot of my clients. I am a second-generation therapist and have been practicing clinically for 8 years. I am a Charlotte native who recently returned to the area after being in the Triangle for over a decade. I am a Millennial meaning I am “old” to minors and “young” to most adults — the perfect age to relate to a myriad of life transitions and identity discovery. I am known for being creative, compassionate, knowledgeable and funny (at times). I approach therapy with authenticity, warmth, empathy, and a dash of wit. I’m versed in a multitude of modalities including CBT, DBT, ACT, Motivational Interviewing, EMDR, etc. I have a saying, “I’m for you, even if I’m not for you” which means, if I’m not the right fit as a therapist, I am happy to support you in finding what works best for you in a therapy setting. Regardless of who I serve, I aim to approach everyone with humanity and hope.
