About
Arie - M.Div., M.A.
Arie is a gifted clinician who came to counseling via the ministry. He was a Pastor for eight years before he decided to go back to Gonzaga University for a second Master's degree in Marriage, Family and Child Therapy. Since then he has maintained a successful practice with teens and adults.
Twenty years ago Arie heard of a technique that would dramatically decrease therapy time for many clients. EMDR stands for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing. This technique helps the natural processing of the mind to get back on track. It is not hypnosis, the client is fully aware of the process and actually plays a more active role in the therapy.
Arie has also done extensive trauma training and is an Accelerated Resolution Therapist.(ART)
Arie is also trained in Gottman's Marital Therapy. Gottman's research based approach has found and created many tools that help couples succeed as marriage partners. With over 40 years of experience, Arie is well qualified to help you have a lasting and successful marriage.
