I help couples and individuals who feel stuck, have been abandoning themselves, or aren’t sure how to make things feel right in their relationships to get clarity and start showing up honestly.
The couples and individuals I work with are often thoughtful and self-aware. They can name some of what is happening, but still feel stuck inside it. One person reaches for connection or answers; the other gets overwhelmed, defensive, or shuts down. You try to talk it through, but somehow end up further apart.
In our sessions I’ll listen closely, ask direct questions, and use humor when it makes sense. I have worked with many couples and I know the patterns that can show up. Together we will identify the unique dance you and your partner engage in, and I will design a specialized plan to help move you towards feeling like a team again.
This is where change becomes possible: not by staying on the surface, but by getting honest about what is happening and finding a different way back to each other.
About Arielle Seligson
Common Thread Therapy got its name because I believe we all share a common thread and want the same things - love, excitement, pleasure, joy. It’s also personally resonant because I enjoy working with my hands and sewing.
In a previous life I worked in Harlem teaching little kids how to garden. Outside of therapy, I am still a gardener with three little boys - one human and two feline.
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW). My approach is rooted in attachment science, trauma-informed care, and evidence-informed couples therapy, with training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), the Gottman Method, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), Discernment Counseling, and Internal Family Systems (IFS). I also utilize Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) for PTSD when appropriate with individual clients and have trained with Postpartum Support International.
I look forward to working with you.
