Hello, my name is Ayuja (ah- you- Jha). I am a an Associate with The Effective Therapy Group. If you are reading this, you have already taken the first step in finding ways to better support your mental health. We can become weighed down by anxiety, depression, racing thoughts and fears. If that wasn’t bad enough, the feelings of guilt which can cause us to lose our parts of identity, motivation and meaning. In working with clients my intention is to help you move from fear to fulfillment.

Healing from trauma, reclaiming power, growing from struggle and learning to work WITH emotions rather than AGAINST them are the goals I strive to support my clients in achieving. I want to help my clients move beyond simply not feeling so depressed, anxious, angry or manic. I want to help them transcend their pain, feel like they are fulfilling their purpose in life, are able to truly love themselves and are cultivating relationships that feed their soul. Narrative Therapy teaches my clients to transform the meaning of what they have been through and techniques from Existential Therapy help clients create or discover their purpose.

With collaborative and creative intention, I can help you widen your point of view, increase your tolerance for complex emotions, integrate fragmented parts of yourself, and discover the uncharted material within you.

Perhaps you have some things figured out, but you still find yourself feeling overwhelmed with feelings of anxiety, uncertainty, or emptiness. Managing all of life’s demands feels impossible and you might find yourself asking “what’s wrong with me?” It may feel easier to show compassion for others than for yourself, and though you want to feel more in control of your life, you don’t know where to begin. I work with adults who are seeking to find answers to these hard questions - to learn what to do with those challenging feelings, to develop more compassion for themselves, and to feel more connected and in command of their lives.

What brings you here is something important. It could be a problem, pattern, question, or thought; or it could stand for something more difficult to represent with words.
