Services

For individuals, I primarily use evidence-based methods, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), with Existential Psychotherapy forming the foundation of my work and philosophy.  For relational work (couples and families), I primarily use emotion-focused therapy. Sessions are tailored to your needs. Read more about modalities here.

I work with anxiety, OCD, phobias, depression, relationship challenges, stress, identity and belonging, trauma, and life transitions—including the unique pressures of living abroad.

Sessions are conversational, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based tools. We’ll explore what’s coming up for you, look at patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and work toward practical changes that support your well-being.

Yes I do, for anyone living in Denmark.

Yes, the Village Therapy office is child-friendly. We have a cabinet just for kids to do play therapy. Parents are also welcome to bring their babies to therapy.

What are your fees? 

1100dkk for individuals, and 1600dkk (incl. VAT) for couples & families.

Unfortunately, no. Danish health insurance plans (including Sygeforsikring Danmark) only reimburse sessions with authorized psychologists, not psychotherapists. Because of that, my sessions are self-pay. Many clients still choose private therapy because it allows immediate availability, flexibility, and a more personal therapeutic approach.

Clients may cancel appointments online within 24 hours of the appointment, free of charge. Clients may cancel appointments less than 24 hours in advance by emailing, texting, or calling, and will incur a fee of 160dkk. No-shows will incur the full session fee.

If you feel you trust your therapist and it is a good fit, it is worth giving it a shot. But you can’t know for sure until you try.

We get to know each other, and I gather lots of background information about you and what you’re coming to therapy for. I may give you assessments if appropriate. If time allows, I may even be able to begin to make a treatment plan with you.

Review the directions for getting to our clinic. Otherwise, just bring yourself and be yourself.

1-2 years depending on severity. Many people take breaks from therapy and come back later. My goal as a therapist is to put myself out of a job (not really), but my goal is for clients to not need therapy anymore within 1 year. Often, a course of psychotherapy can be done in a short amount of time, such as 3-6 months. It all depends on the needs of the client.

You’re not alone. Unfortunately, this can be a common experience not only in the world of psychotherapy but also with regular healthcare providers as well. My hope is that I would never give a client a bad experience. I’m ready to listen to any bad experiences you’ve had and take that into account in our work together.

Everything you share stays confidential unless there is a serious and immediate risk of harm to yourself or someone else, or if I am required by law to report concerns about the safety of a child.

Yes, I take notes. I store them in a locked filing cabinet. 

I take all reasonable precautions to keep your records safe and secure.

Being in private practice, your records are not in the public health system.

Yes, Ariel works with children.

Yes, if parenting is something you’d like to work on in therapy, we can make it happen.

It depends on the case.

Psychotherapists are discouraged from giving advice to clients and instead are trained to assist the client in coming to a decision by themselves.
