Riley Arnemann, MA
Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist
Practice Manager
I am grateful that you are here! I am passionate about providing quality therapy that is effective and grounded in sound research. In my previous role as a therapist at a Veterans Affairs Mental Health Outpatient Clinic I experienced it all; from severe PTSD/trauma to relationship conflict to depression, anxiety, and personality disorders. There is no issue you can bring to me that is too big for us to tackle!
Together we will dive deep into the heart of issues. I will come alongside you with compassion to create the safety and security necessary to explore your biggest challenges in life. I do not approach problems with tips and tricks. Instead, I go beyond superficial attempts at resolution. My number one aim is to walk with you through your experiences to help you face what is at the heart of your struggles and pain. You can expect me to be someone who genuinely cares, listens, and is completely invested in your goals. You will be given a non-judgmental space to be accepted for who you are, allowing space for positive, lasting change.
I enjoy working with people from all backgrounds and beliefs. My areas of experience include:
- Counseling with couples, individuals, children & teens, and families
- Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT)
- Faith based counseling
- Relationship issues, infidelity, communication, conflict resolution, parenting, bonding, intimacy, and other life stressors
- Depression
- Anxiety, high levels of stress
- PTSD/trauma
- Personality disorders
- Self improvement
I am excited and look forward to beginning this journey with you!

I commend you for taking the first step towards considering therapy. It takes strength and courage to confront your unique challenges, and engaging in therapy can be an incredibly rewarding experience. With the right support, anyone can embark on a path of healing. It’s remarkable how simply being heard and understood can set us on that journey. I don’t see unwanted feelings or behaviors as “bad”; instead, I view them as responses to very real pain, which can be addressed with respect, acceptance, and ultimately lead to healing and positive transformation.
My passion lies in helping relationships not only mend but also flourish. This encompasses couples, families, and parent-child relationships. I also have the privilege of providing care to individuals facing challenges that may seem insurmountable on their own. My primary approach is Emotionally Focused Therapy, a scientifically proven method that enhances relationships and fosters personal healing. Every session will be tailored to best meet your specific needs and objectives.
I find continuous inspiration in the growth that can stem from openly sharing our pain in a safe and comforting environment. This is the essence of therapy. Healing awaits on the other side of what we may sometimes be inclined to avoid. Seeking help can be an act of kindness and bravery, both for yourself and your loved ones. I eagerly anticipate embarking on this journey with you!
¡Estoy emocionada de comenzar este viaje contigo!

Deciding to speak to a therapist is a very personal choice, and one that calls for an environment of trust, comfort, and security. It is my sincere hope to cultivate such a space for you to succeed in developing a better awareness of yourself and your relationships, past and present.
I work with individuals, couples, and families, nurturing a deeper understanding of how one’s emotional experiences can influence their connections with others, and vice versa. We grow toward these goals together using principles of Emotionally Focused Therapy, a scientifically proven approach to relational counseling.
Whether your goal is to become a more self-aware and self-assured individual, a more deeply connected couple, or a more harmonious family, I would be grateful for the opportunity to join you on your journey.
I genuinely care for my clients and will be invested in your well-being from our very first session. Thank you for considering taking that first step with me.

You don’t have to go at it alone. Take that first step and set up a phone consultation. I look forward to working with you!

Reaching out for help can be incredibly difficult and scary! For that reason, my goal is to create a safe and comfortable place for you to share as much or as little as you are ready to share. I work with individuals, couples, and families who are currently feeling stuck and looking for additional guidance. My experience includes, but is not limited to:
● Adults, teens, and adolescents struggling with anxiety and/or obsessive compulsive disorder
● Adults, teens, and adolescents struggling with depression and/or suicidal thoughts
● Individuals struggling with past or current traumatic experiences
● Couples and family counseling
I have advanced training in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Both of these approaches are scientifically based and shown to be the most effective in treating individuals of all ages, couples, and families. It is common that we may find it difficult to begin opening up to a stranger. My clients have found I am able to connect in a friendly and comforting way, helping you to feel safe. I can assure you that I will meet you where you are at with an open-minded and non-judgmental approach.
I have a true passion for helping you to find your strengths and for helping you feel more in control of your emotions. I look forward to meeting with you, your spouse, or your family in order to work towards living a fulfilled and happy life! “Probably the biggest insight… is that happiness is not just a place, but also a process… Happiness is an
ongoing process of fresh challenges, and… it takes the right attitudes and activities to continue to be happy.” – Ed Diener
