Nathan Ariza, M.A. (he/him)

Registered Psychological Associate, Supervised by Brooke Ferragamo, PhD #PSY34065

I am a graduate student at the Wright Institute pursuing my Doctorate in Clinical Psychology (PsyD). I identify as a white, cisgender man, and I am part of the LGBTQ+ community. My life and training leave me well suited to help you navigate life’s many challenges. I take a relational and psychodynamic/psychoanalytic approach. This theoretical stance honors the uniqueness of your experiences and creates space for anything and everything you might want to work through in therapy. In our work together I will help you more deeply understand yourself and address the things getting in the way of this process. Therapy can be a daunting endeavor and I commend you for taking the steps to reach out. 

I have experience providing therapy with adults and adolescents. My style lends itself to depth oriented therapy where we work together to address the underlying causes of symptoms and difficulties. As such, I don’t specialize in any particular presentation or diagnosis. Alongside my work at Emerging Insights I am also a therapist with the UCSF Alliance Health Project where I support the mental health and wellness of the LGBTQ+ and HIV-affected communities.
