Dr. Arie started her professional journey in 1997 as an undergrad with a double major in Psychology and Special Education. During her studies, she worked as an ABA (Applied Behavioral Analysis) technician for home-based intervention programs for children with Autism Spectrum disorder and never stopped working with children in the mental health field since. ​ Dr. Arie's masters and doctoral training were completed at Tel-Aviv University, Israel. Followed by an internship at an out-patient anxiety clinic at a major children's hospital in Israel, focusing on CBT intervention. ​ In 2006, Dr. Arie and her family relocated to Chicago IL, where she completed a post-doctoral research fellowship at Northwestern University followed by a clinical post-doc internship at the Pediatric Consultation Center focusing on neuropsychological testing.​ During this time, Dr. Arie developed a specialization in helping children develop social skills in a group therapy format. In 2012, Dr. Arie moved to Rochester, NY. In addition to her private practice, Dr. Arie served as an inclusion consultant to the JCC pre-school and became the mental health consultant for the after school program and the summer day-camp. Understanding the expectations and the limitations of educational and recreational settings in which children function is important to me. It allows me to tailor interventions that would be applicable and relevant to settings outside the office and home. During these years, Dr. Arie expended her experience in group therapy, and attachment-based interventions to support her clients develop emotional regulation skills. ​ Dr. Arie moved to Bellevue, WA in the summer of 2019. In 2020 Dr. Arie became a certified trauma therapist for children and adolescents.
