Ariela Milstein

Integrative Psychotherapist · Trauma-Informed Practitioner · Retreat Facilitator

Ariela Milstein is a clinical psychologist and integrative psychotherapist whose work bridges depth psychotherapy, somatic awareness, and holistic wellbeing. Her approach is grounded, relational, and trauma-informed, supporting people in reconnecting with their bodies, emotions, and inner wisdom.

She holds a Bachelor’s degree in Psychology and a Master’s degree in Community Development, and has extensive postgraduate training in Gestalt psychotherapy, somatic and trauma-informed therapy, dreamwork, expressive and art-based approaches, and the preparation and integration of expanded states of consciousness.

Ariela has worked in diverse international and community-based contexts, including psychosocial and community development projects in Latin America, the Middle East, and Africa. These experiences deeply shaped her understanding of healing as both an individual and relational process, influenced by culture, environment, and community.

Her retreat work focuses on creating safe, ethical, and embodied containers where participants can explore emotional processes, regulate the nervous system, and integrate meaningful experiences into daily life. She places strong emphasis on preparation, pacing, consent, and integration, ensuring that retreats support lasting change rather than temporary insight.

Ariela also studies and practices ancestral ceremonial traditions, including temazcal, which she approaches with humility and responsibility, integrating these practices within a therapeutic and trauma-informed framework.

Ariela offers retreats and sessions in English and Spanish, and collaborates closely with somatic practitioners and ceremonial facilitators to provide integrative, multidisciplinary care.
