Arael Scott is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) who earned her degree from the University at Buffalo. Arael works with adolescents and adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship challenges, self-esteem concerns, and major life transitions.
Arael understands that reaching out for therapy can feel intimidating, and she wants clients to feel comfortable showing up as they are. She believes that while past experiences and relationships can shape how we see ourselves and navigate the world, they don't have to define our future. In therapy, she helps clients make sense of their experiences, recognize patterns that may be getting in the way, and discover new ways of moving forward.
Whether clients are processing past trauma, navigating relationship challenges, or working toward greater confidence, she meets them where they are and works alongside them to create meaningful, lasting change. Her style is warm and down-to-earth, combining compassion and encouragement with honest conversations that support growth. She also believes therapy doesn't have to be overly formal, and that genuine connection and a little humor can help make the process feel more natural.
Outside of work, Arael enjoys spending quality time with friends and family, trying new recipes, and baking—especially experimenting with sourdough bread! She is also a proud cat mom to three cats who keep life entertaining. In her downtime, she loves watching a good movie or TV series and finding simple ways to slow down, recharge, and enjoy time at home.
