About

Welcome

You came here today looking for something.
And I hope I can help you find what you seek.

Hi, I’m Ari.​

Husband, and father of 4 wonderful children, who loves a good game of sports.

I’m an LCSW and a CCATP (Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional) with a Masters in social work from the Silberman School of Social Work at Hunter College. I’m currently working on getting certified in EFT (emotionally focused therapy) as well as a CDHWP (Certified Digital Health and Wellness Professional).

Yes, that’s a lot of letters.

Because I have an insatiable desire to learn, to practice, to guide so that I can help more individuals live their best lives.

I’m also the Director of The Peak Program - a summer camp that gives behaviorally challenged children the tools they need to succeed in life.

Our camp model is based on The Diamond Program where I spent 3 years as a staff member, including one year as clinical director of their New Jersey location.

I spent the last 8 years helping kids, teenagers and adults with anxiety, emotion regulation, anger management, depression, self-worth, technology addiction, relationship struggles, and overall mental wellness.

“Ari is a professional that is totally committed to helping struggling children succeed. He truly cares about them, and intills in them the belief that they can be successful.”

Ari is an excellent social worker that has the ability to connect with struggling children on a level that most people can't. He knows just how to deal with them in a kind, loving, yet firm way. He takes struggling kids, and he molds them, teaches them, and helps them grow into more confident and content children.
