ARIELLE SEIDLER, LCSW-C

Arielle Seidler is a licensed clinical social worker based in Maryland who specializes in supporting individuals and couples navigating addiction, attachment trauma, and relational challenges. She brings over a decade of experience to her work, offering a grounded, experiential approach to healing that helps clients deepen self-awareness, shift long-standing patterns, and build more connected relationships. Her work is relational, non-pathologizing, and grounded in the belief that meaningful change happens through connection, curiosity, and compassionate challenge.

Arielle earned her MSW from the University of Pennsylvania’s School of Social Policy and Practice in 2013. She went on to complete a three-year intensive training at the Gestalt Therapy Institute of Philadelphia (GTIP), which continues to inform her relational, present-centered style. She also draws on techniques from experiential therapy and psychodrama to support embodied insight and emotional processing.

In her work with couples, Arielle integrates tools from the Gottman Method and Relational Life Therapy (RLT), while always anchoring her approach in the moment-to-moment dynamics of the relationship. Her clinical work is particularly attuned to the ways addiction and early attachment wounds impact emotional regulation, intimacy, and trust.

Arielle’s background includes leadership roles in addiction treatment settings, where she helped develop and run family therapy programming and supervised clinical teams. Today, she provides therapy and clinical supervision at (Re)Connect Therapy Center, where she also supports day-to-day operations.
