Meet Ariyon Fountaine

Hi- my name is Ariyon Fountaine and I am a Licensed New Jersey Social Worker. I aim to provide an empathic, empowering, and client-centered approach that provides a safe and supportive environment for individuals and couples. I believe in the importance of the therapeutic relationship and work to ensure the comfort of those entrusted to my care. I use a gentle and holistic method to meet a client where they are in order to understand how the presenting concerns impact their overall health and well-being. In addition, I work towards normalizing black mental health within my own community.

I hold a Master’s Degree of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania, which I completed following my undergraduate coursework in Human Services and Sociology at Chestnut Hill College. I have experience working with anxiety, depression, trauma and am trained in the Gottman Method for Couples Counseling. My passion is working with adults and couples. 

My warm, engaging approach and passion for urban education has proven successful for clients in both the school and clinical settings. In my spare time, I engage in self-care through reading, mediating, relaxing afternoons at the beach, exploring new cuisine, and spending time with family.
