Ariana Tosatto

Ariana Tosatto is a licensed professional counselor, board-certified art therapist, and teacher for the Hakomi Institute. She has a Master’s in Transpersonal Counseling with a concentration in Art Therapy from Naropa University. She has gone on to train in Sensorimotor Psychotherapy (level 1) and Brainspotting (levels 1 and 2) and continues to study a variety of somatic, mindfulness-based approaches to trauma-informed care. Ariana began studying Hakomi in 2014 and joined the teaching team in 2022 after serving as a teaching assistant for several years.

Ariana combines Hakomi Mindful Somatic Therapy into the tapestry of her work, which draws predominantly from the field of somatic therapy as well as Transpersonal counseling. She has been a student of various earth-based spiritual healing lineages and mentors alongside her training in Western Psychology. This greatly informs her orientation to attachment repatterning and trauma recovery, emphasizing the vital role of our re-connection to the animate world in our healing. Ariana has a private practice nestled along the trails of the Wissahickon Valley, where she incorporates eco-therapy in her work, taking clients outside to connect with the land surrounding her office. She runs ongoing supervision groups and provides mentoring to other practitioners.
