Welcome! Meet Arianna Kraljic, LLMSW

My ideal clients are children, teens, and young adults who may feel overwhelmed, anxious, or unsure of how to express themselves. Growing up can bring unique challenges—academic stress, identity exploration, family or peer struggles, and big life transitions. I enjoy supporting young people as they find their voice, build resilience, and develop healthier ways to cope. My goal is to create a safe and encouraging space where they feel understood, supported, and empowered to grow into their most authentic selves.

I help children, teens, and young adults through play therapy, motivational interviewing, mindfulness  and psychoeducation. Together, we explore emotions, strengthen coping skills, and build self-awareness. My approach fosters growth, resilience, and confidence in a supportive, nonjudgmental space.

Starting therapy can feel intimidating, but you don’t have to do it alone. Whether you’re a parent seeking support for your child, a teen facing life’s challenges, or a young adult wanting change, I’m here to help. Reach out today to begin building hope, resilience, and a healthier path forward.

Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)

This is my first time in therapy. What can I expect?

In therapy, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where you and Arianna will work together to explore your feelings, set personal goals, and develop coping strategies for challenges like anxiety, stress, grief, and more. I’ll tailor our approach using techniques like cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness to meet your unique needs, empowering you to make positive changes at your own pace.
