With a recognition of how prevalent mental health issues can be for teens, the provider hopes to help the young people of Washington D.C. confront difficult challenges in their lives. Through the application of an empathy-first technique, Ariel VanDoren seeks to address academic pressures or traumatic situations, and to open a path toward recovery.

VanDoren describes her approach to psychotherapy as a blend of modalities, combining cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT) with dialectical behavioral therapy (DBT) to address client concerns at all levels. She explains that she attempts to bridge the gap between thought and action, leading patients to confront problems head-on while also helping them feel safe throughout the process.

This expansion to True North’s services comes in the wake of multiple high-profile reports regarding young Americans and stress. Recent data paints a bleak picture of an American youth under siege, perhaps more so than ever before, and yet most adolescents remain unequipped to deal with anxiety in healthy ways.

Compounding factors have led to a generation of young adults and children who are turning to unhealthy coping mechanisms to escape their stress. This, VanDoren explains, is the primary driver behind her team’s service model, with VanDoren leading the effort to help break these negative patterns of thought in D.C.’s youth.

VanDoren states on her website, “Our thoughts, feelings, and emotions are intertwined with our behavior and the view of our own self-worth, which in turn colors our perspective of life and the quality of our interpersonal relationships. The core values and client-centered foundation of True North Psychotherapy are designed to take a holistic therapy approach that allows my clients the opportunity not merely to survive, but to thrive.”

True North Psychotherapy is available now to offer consultations to new patients; insurance information and more details about VanDoren and her methodologies can be found at the link below.
