ARIELLE MESA, MSW LICSW 

Meet YOUR SUPERVISOR

Hi! I'm Arielle. I've spent the last 11 years helping people from all walks of life in psychiatric hospitals, substance abuse treatment centers, community based mental health, clinical research hospitals and schools, private practices,  and more. I'm passionate about helping people heal from the impact of ancestral, experential, and systemic trauma and reclaim their inherent healing capacities from a holistic lens. Working for over a decade in the mental health field has taught me so much about the value and importance of learning from and being supported by an inspiring, empowering clinical supervisors and mentors.

I've had the honor of mentoring with some amazing clinicians and teachers from around the world - clinical social workers, yoga therapists, holistic wellness professionals, shamanic practitioners, elders, earth wisdom keepers . Each taught me so much about my strengths and my growing edges as a person, a professional, an ally, and a future ancestor. Through my ongoing mentorship and supervision, I have developed and evolved my clinical skills  that have ultimately lead me to the current embodiment of my professional practice today.

I am excited to finally offer the opportunity to share the weaving of this wisdom passed onto me with other clinical practitioners and therapists interested in blossoming and growing their clinical skillset to support the health and well being of our fellow humans, our more than human friends, and our planet.

WHAT PEOPLE ARE SAYING

Testimonial

I want to fully recommend the work that Arielle holds for us to reconnect with our own space of shadow or pain . 

First session that I take with Arielle was a big immersion that give me a clear image of where I am in my unconscious mind , and this clarity is a miracle to reach peace and know where and how to start the work .

 I was able to see where Is the pain that i'm carrying not just on the intellect also in the physical realm .

 This grounding of the information feels like a huge extra to be able to step in acceptation and start moving from that space taking good care of this wound , and with care , love and the proper time  be able to heal it from the root. I felt really cared , hold and appreciatted with her all the time , my heart felt safe to express every single part of my emotions , my history and my present state. If I could describe in brief words my experience - healing in raw honesty , vulnerable and hold by the softness of a rose petal nest .

WHY THIS MATTERS NOW

We live in a time where many of the "modern day" structures that have long been positioned as measurements of our "progress" as a society are actively crumbling. The roots of their true nature and intentions are being more fully and clearly revealed to us. We are learning more each and every day that they are not hear to serve ALL people or to serve ALL life.

These structures, these systemic forces are come from violent roots - capitalism, modernization, industrialization, slavery, genocide, colonization, indoctrinaton, religious imperialism, and oppression of all forms. The impact of these structures rooted in violence has created an ever growing and mounting wound within the mental emotional physical and spiritual spheres of health and wellness for humans, more than human kin, and our planet.

 

We as a species are approaching a threshold where something is going to have to give in order for us to drastically change and reconcile the trajectory of where these structures have and will continue to ultimately lead us. A part of this means reimagining what health and care ultimately mean for us. It also means reconnecting with and embodying collaborative, relationship-based practices rooted in reciprocity and symbiosis that supported the survival of our species, the animals, the plants and our planet for hundreds of thousands of years prior to the bronze age.
