MEET ARIEL ROSENBLOOM, LCSW

GET UNSTUCK AND reconnect WITH YOUR true self.

I’m a Los Angeles-based therapist offering online Internal Family Systems (IFS) therapy for creatives and entrepreneurs across California. I specialize in trauma, attachment wounds, and burnout recovery for people seeking deep, lasting change.

YOU’RE HERE BECAUSE YOU WANT SOMETHING deeper.

You can talk about your attachment patterns all day, and pinpoint the childhood traumas that shaped you, but when it comes to disrupting negative cycles, you feel stuck.

My work is designed for people who are ready to move beyond understanding their patterns and experience real internal change. As an IFS therapist, our work will focus on connecting with and befriending the parts of you that feel stuck in order to shift unhelpful patterns and increase clarity, confidence, and harmony in your relationship with yourself and with others.

Together, we’ll work to…

  • Understand and notice how parts show up in your body

  • Build trust with your parts instead of fighting them or pushing them down

  • Help parts to update and shift so you can feel more present and grounded

  • Move beyond intellectualizing and rewire ingrained beliefs

  • Help you feel more empowered in your relationships and take up more space in your life

WHAT IT’S LIKE TO work with me:

I don’t shy away from difficult or taboo topics

Got shame around sex, identity, intrusive thoughts, or suicidal ideation? Nothing is off-limits — all parts of you are welcome here.

I am a feminist, queer-affirming, sex-positive, culturally-inclusive, and social justice-oriented therapist

This means we’ll actively acknowledge and explore the ways in which larger systems (racism, patriarchy, capitalism) have directly impacted your emotional and physical well-being — because therapy is political.

I believe there are always reasons why we feel the way we do

As a trained IFS therapist, I view the patterns we want to change as originating from an adaptive place of survival. I’ll help you to shift what’s no longer working while understanding the good intentions that were there all along.

Clients often tell me they feel deeply heard in our work together — that they can bring the full intensity of their experiences without feeling like they are “too much.”

If you’ve learned to hold everything inside so you don’t feel like a burden, therapy can be a space where you don’t have to carry it all alone. You’re invited to show up as your fully authentic, messy, real self, without filtering or feeling pressure to always be strong.

MY APPROACH TO DEEP, LASTING CHANGE:

Many of my clients come to me after years of self-reflection and insight, yet still feel stuck in the same emotional and relational patterns.

Through IFS, we move beyond understanding your story and begin working directly with the parts of you that hold these patterns. As those parts are heard, understood, and supported, many clients experience moments of clarity that feel both powerful and relieving — the sense of finally understanding what has been driving a pattern for so long.

As a seasoned, Level 2–trained IFS therapist with a diverse clinical background, I bring both structure and compassion to this work. I meet you where you are, without judgment, while offering steady guidance as we explore your internal system together.

This process can be deep and vulnerable, and I believe it should also feel collaborative and grounded. At times, I’ll gently challenge you or ask questions that help bring something important into focus. My goal is to help you stay connected to the work that matters most to you.

Clients often tell me they appreciate the balance of warmth, authenticity, and candor I bring to sessions, along with my ability to ask the questions that lead somewhere meaningful.

  • Prior to opening my private practice, I worked for years in a variety of outpatient settings as a clinical social worker. I found this work to be invaluable, and it has deeply informed my approach to therapy.

    My experience included providing individual and group therapy, crisis-intervention, and suicide-prevention services to youth and adults experiencing homelessness, chronic medical issues, and co-occurring mental health and substance use conditions. I also worked in (and hold a deep fondness for) the re-entry field, providing individual therapy to folks transitioning out of prison.
