What ever your experience may have been with therapy in the past or if never having therapy my hope is that you give me the opportunity to walk with you on this journey. I offer a number of differnt theraputic approaches as each person is unique and works for one person might not work for another.

Rebecca Ayala, LPC, NCC

Clinical Therapist
My absolute goal is to provide a warm and safe environment for building rapport and allowing the therapeutic relationship to do its work. My passion and empathy will help strengthen and invigorate you to make changes needed to lead a more fulfilling life.
Read MoreThere are so many surprises and experiences in the world to shape and grow us, some of which can be life-changing or hard to move past. It is easy to become voiceless, bottle things up, or notice that you completely have changed yourself to merely get by. Normalcy is often what everyone wants, but yet, to achieve it can be a constant battle with unending emotions. I have an innate drive and passion for supporting others and helping them reach their full potential as they navigate through transitions, adolescence, and other milestones in life, regardless of age group. I generally use solution-focused brief therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, client-centered and reality therapy to help explore your strengths and overcome your setbacks. My areas of focus are working with life transitions, behavioral issues, anxiety, stress, self-esteem building, positive coping skills, learning self-care, and relationship issues.

Read MoreIf you find yourself overly stressed, overwhelmed with daily tasks and avoiding the people you love, I invite you into a safe space. This safe space is a nonjudgemental place to be vulnerable, challenged and work collaboratively to achieve your desired treatment goals. As the famous Maya Angelou wrote, “Nothing will work unless you do.”
