Personal Statement

My name is Dr. Ari Novick and I see clients for a variety of reasons. I have very straightforward style and give solid feedback. I think therapy should be rewarding and that clients should leave every session feeling like they learned or gained something. While I primarily specialize in anger management and stress related disorders, I also see clients for relationship problems, depression and anxiety. My recommendation would be to email or call me to discuss what your needs are and we can decide together if I am the best fit.

We offer psychological services as well as distance learning education classes in a variety of areas including anger and stress management, disruptive behavior, conflict resolution, fan conduct for professional sports and venues, drug and alcohol awareness, and a wide range of other related programs. We also provide corporate training, executive coaching and individual counseling services.
