Ariyon Fountaine

Licensed Social Worker

Hi, I’m Ariyon Fountaine, a Licensed Social Worker in New Jersey offering virtual therapy. With over 10 years of experience in social work and mental health, I bring a warm, collaborative, and empowering approach to therapy. I earned my Master of Social Work from the University of Pennsylvania and am trained in the Gottman Method for Couples Counseling.

I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up as your full self—without judgment or pressure to have everything figured out.

I provide individual therapy for adults and couples counseling, helping clients navigate anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, self-esteem, boundaries, and relationship challenges. Together, we explore past experiences, recognize patterns, and develop practical tools to build self-trust and create meaningful change.

I’m especially passionate about normalizing mental health conversations in Black communities and communities of color, including creating space for men of color to explore their mental and emotional well-being. I welcome conversations about identity, cultural expectations, relationships, vulnerability, and the pressure to always be strong. My goal is to create a culturally affirming space where people of all backgrounds and identities feel heard, respected, and supported.

I believe caring for yourself is essential to your overall well-being. One of my favorite reminders is, “You can’t pour from an empty cup.” I look forward to working with you on your journey toward healing and growth.
