My name is Ari, and I have been blessed to be a part of Hillsides for five wonderful years. As an LCSW and the Program Manager for the HillsidesCares program, I bring years of experience working with families and adolescents, utilizing various therapeutic modalities to meet the unique needs of our youth. When I think of HillsidesCares, I am reminded of the exceptional service, high-quality care, and compassion we provide to the families and communities we serve. Witnessing families thrive and seeing the positive transformations in the lives of the youth we support has been incredibly rewarding.
