You must be between 13–25 years old—because we’re all about supporting you during this crucial stage of life.
You must live in the same state as your chosen therapist’s license—this helps ensure you can get the care you need from a qualified professional nearby or virtually.

We’re here to help you every step of the way—just reach out if you have any questions about the process!

Bring your own therapist, who we’ll work with to ensure they meet our program requirements.

Find the Right Fit
If you select a therapist from our network, you’ll reach out to them to set up a free 15–20 minute consultation. This is your chance to make sure they’re the right match for your needs!

Let’s Make It Official
Once you and your therapist agree it’s a good fit, they’ll contact us to finalize and approve the session rate. This ensures everything is in place before therapy begins.

We’ve Got You Covered
Arielle’s Light will cover up to four therapy sessions initially. If you and your therapist feel more sessions are needed, we’ll work together to see what’s possible.

No Stress Billing
Therapists bill us directly for approved sessions. That means no paperwork or payment worries for you—we take care of everything so you can focus on your well-being.
