Arika Pickle, LPC

Arika Pickle is a Licensed Professional Counselor - LPC who focuses on supporting young adults and perinatal mental health, including pregnancy, postpartum, and the transition into motherhood. She works with people navigating big life decisions - such as whether to attend college, enter the workforce, or start a family - and with those experiencing pregnancy-related anxiety, postpartum sadness, or difficulty balancing motherhood with a prior sense of self. Arika approaches each person with the aim of identifying what may be weighing them down and partnering to restore a greater sense of wellbeing and joy.

Her clinical work has included advocacy for survivors of sexual assault, case management for young adults living with serious mental illness, and service in the field of adoption. Over the last five years she has concentrated on individual counseling and therapy in local non-profits and private practice settings. Arika uses evidence-informed methods to help clients build on their existing strengths rather than adding more to an already full to-do list.

She believes every person has value and purpose and is capable of growth, change, and healing. Arika aims to help clients discover personal meaning, clarify goals, and develop practical coping strategies so they can move forward with greater confidence and resilience.
