Ariel VanDoren, LPC · Relational & IFS therapy · Dupont Circle, DC
Hi, I’m Ariel VanDoren
I became a therapist to help people move beyond survival patterns and create a more fulfilling future. I believe healing happens through connection—with others and within ourselves.
With experience supporting individuals and families in high-pressure environments, I help clients rebuild their sense of self and navigate change.
My approach blends relational therapy with Internal Family Systems (IFS), creating a safe, non-judgmental space to explore challenges and grow. I’m a Licensed Professional Counselor dedicated to helping you move from surviving to truly thriving.
Your healing journey begins here.
It can be daunting to face behaviors or thoughts you feel frustrated by, but I don’t view these as weaknesses.
In our work together, every part of you is welcome.
Coming Home: The Journey of Full-Circle Healing
Full-circle healing means more than just quieting the noise of your symptoms. It’s about integrating your past experiences into your present life, allowing you to break self-limiting cycles and step into a state of authentic, powerful self-awareness.
If you’re ready to take that step, give me a call at 202.599.0522 and we can see if we’re a good fit.
