Ariana Throne is not your average therapist — and if you’ve ever felt like your complexity doesn’t fit inside a neat little box, she might be exactly who you’re looking for. Ariana specializes in working with individuals, couples, and relationship systems navigating consensual non-monogamy (CNM), sexual trauma, identity exploration, and emotionally complex relational dynamics. She brings a direct, creative, and no-BS style to therapy that cuts through the fluff and gets to the heart of what matters — without ever losing compassion along the way. What sets Ariana apart isn’t just her clinical training — it’s her lived experience. She has traveled to 48 countries, practiced polyamory for over 15 years, and worked deeply with people from radically different worldviews, cultures, and attachment styles. She understands how messy, beautiful, and layered real life and real love can be, and she helps clients hold all of it — with clarity, courage, and care. In session, Ariana draws from Internal Family Systems (IFS) to help clients uncover and unburden parts of themselves stuck in survival mode. She uses Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) to help partners reconnect through vulnerability and secure attachment. She also integrates Narrative Therapy to help clients rewrite the stories that no longer serve their growth. Her practice is trauma-informed and often incorporates somatic healing, mindfulness, and evidence-based tools from CBT and DBT. Whether clients are navigating relational challenges, recovering from trauma, or working to reconnect with their authentic self, Ariana offers a space where truth is welcomed, identities are honored, and transformation is not only possible — it’s expected. Her clients often say they feel seen in ways they never have before — not just understood, but reflected back with depth and honesty. For those seeking a therapist who will challenge with love, sit with them in the hard stuff, and hold the vision of who they’re becoming even when they can't — Ariana is ready to walk alongside them.
