Life is hard enough.
Therapy doesn’t have to be.

My name is Arielle Cohen Gould (MSW, RSW) and Healing Somatics Counselling & Psychotherapy is my private practice, where I support individuals, couples & relationships, and families who struggle with BIG emotions and trauma across diverse backgrounds, identities and experiences.

I bring an ethic of warmth, gentle curiosity, innate compassion, openness, and a healthy dose of humour to my work! My intent is to help you navigate life’s complexities with care, understanding, and a focus on what truly matters to you. Whether you’re facing emotional challenges, chronic pain, or relational struggles, I’m here to walk alongside you as you create meaningful change in your life in a way that feels authentic to you. You want to stop feeling so raw, and I am here to support you rise above your challenges and move towards a life with less suffering and greater fulfillment.

Together, we’ll create a roadmap- one that helps you process your past, shed old layers, and grow into the person you’re meant to be.

I am deeply committed to helping you see healing and transformation not only as possible but as inevitable. The greatest reward is to see clients leave feeling lighter, freer, and genuinely excited about their lives.

My approach is trauma-informed, somatic-based, and grounded in harm-reduction and anti-oppressive principles. As a member of both the LGBTQ and neurodivergent communities, I am passionate about offering neuro-affirming and gender-affirming care backed by best practices and up-to-date research. I am also fortunate to have learned and worked with many BIPOC communities, educators and clients and am committed to ongoing anti-racist work within my practice.

I practice accountability and lifelong learning by participating in ongoing group supervision, peer consultations, and clinical supervision.

I value client feedback and will periodically check in with you to ensure our sessions meet your desired outcomes and therapeutic needs.
