Hi, I’m Erin Ayers, LCSW-C, Therapist for Kids, Teens & Families Ready for Real Change Are you feeling overwhelmed? Stuck? Or unsure how to help your child (& yourself) navigate big feelings? You’re in the right place. For over 15 years, I’ve supported children, teens, adults, and families in building confidence, emotional regulation, and healthier communication…one small, brave step at a time. My approach is warm, collaborative, and grounded in evidence-based care. I blend CBT, Play Therapy, and Sand Tray Therapy to create sessions that feel safe, purposeful, and tailored specifically to you or your child’s needs.

I help kids tame big feelings, boost confidence, and turn “tricky brains” into superpowers. I support parents with behavior challenges, ADHD, anxiety, and family stress, giving you tools that actually work. If you want a warm, creative therapist who gets kids (and parents!), I’m here.

At Mini Mighty Minds, we help kids (and parents!) feel braver, calmer, and more connected. If your child is struggling with big feelings, tough behaviors, or confidence, we turn therapy into a journey of courage, curiosity, and growth. You don’t have to do this alone...Let’s walk it together.
