Therapists in Camelback East, Phoenix, AZ

Life has many unexpected ups and downs. Dealing with life changes can be difficult, especially when you have experienced trauma and abuse. You are not alone. Therapy allows you to find the right coping skills to deal with personal and relationship issues, and I am committed to help you acquire those tools in a caring, nonjudgmental, and compassionate setting. My experience is extensive working in different settings with many populations with diverse backgrounds, utilizing culturally appropriate treatment models. I use multiple evidence-based treatments depending on my clients' unique needs.

As an LMFT, I am passionate about working with a wide range of backgrounds and needs. I enjoy working with children, adolescents, young adults and adults, couples and families. I am Bilingual (Spanish/English) and specialize in Trauma focused therapy and believe that understanding our family dynamics and transgenerational experiences will result in the ability to heal and grow.

** Book an appointment with me here: https://bit.ly/3Ee0nhO** I believe everyone has the ability and desire to have an extraordinary life. I see therapy as a healing conversation that provides clients with a safe, non-judgmental place to express their challenges, and helps them to rediscover their strengths, talents and resources. My intention is to create a collaborative partnership to support my clients in finding solutions that are consistent with their values and beliefs. Whatever it is that brings you to counseling, together we can overcome self-doubt and obstacles to create the healthiest version of yourself.

Hello, I am Daed Ayala a bilingual therapist with over a decade long experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and families. My practice is rooted in empathy, respect, and a deep commitment to helping clients achieve their goals for emotional well-being and personal growth. My strength-based approach helps build strong therapeutic relationships and long-lasting changes. My approach to therapy is to empower clients to explore their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors in a supportive and nonjudgmental space, facilitating self-discovery and insight.

I work with people using a variety of philosophies, but those encompassing humanistic and psychodynamic theories inform most of my practice. This generally means I am most interested in focusing on emotions, insight, relationships, past experiences, meta-emotion, self-worth, authenticity, fantasies, and the unconscious. I rely heavily on discussing shame, vulnerability, emotional needs, and creating meaning in life. I am fairly non-directive, and I will be most focused on helping you find your own authentic path by reflecting and exploring deeper meanings and patterns that arise in our discussions.

First, I want to thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. I focus on creating an emotionally safe place. Safe enough to be vulnerable and lean into discomfort. Safe enough to create change that may be desired or needed. My style is direct, compassionate, and caring. When appropriate, I use humor, transparency, and my own quirky personality to help create a safe environment and vulnerability. It is the balance of being client-centered (meeting clients where they’re at) and encouraging change (which sometimes includes calling out BS or respectfully challenging when needed). Im currently offering in-person and telehealth.

Most of my work involves working with depression, anxiety, trauma, losses, and life adaptations with early and late adolescents, adults, and couples. I have a strong experience working cross-culturally and including the family in the therapy if necessary. My approach is Existential-Humanistic with a strong Psychodynamic base. I may use cognitive therapy, and techniques such as EMDR, Play, Art, or IFS when necessary.

Life is a journey that requires exploring solutions to bring clarity and calmness. Are you having a hard time adjusting to difficult personal or professional situations, coping with difficult emotions, or experiencing interpersonal relationship challenges? You may be feeling lost, alone, overwhelmed, and trying to manage things on your own. We do not have to overcome challenges on our own. I am here to listen and support you. You are worthy of achieving a life that feels rewarding, satisfying, and authentic to yourself.

The relationship between therapist and client is unique. Time spent together is purposefully structured to support that uniqueness and establish a framework and rhythm for working. Our work together will be centered in a spirit of safety, dignity, and respect at all times for your goals and needs.

It takes a lot to make the decision to seek therapy, and I’m so glad that you’re doing it! Life is complicated and so are we. In my work, I meet people when they are feeling confused, hurt, angry, and/or overwhelmed by life’s complications. I love my work because I get to be a source of support, patience, and encouragement for people in these moments. I believe that building a strong and trusting therapeutic relationship is at the foundation of achieving clinical success. Whether you are an adult or teen (ages 16+) seeking counseling services for concerns related to trauma, depression, and/or anxiety, I am ready to help.

Are you seeking an unbiased person open to listening and discussing your thoughts? Sometimes we all need that! Life often brings us curve balls in the form of relational, career, racial, marital or family conflict that cause us to question who we are. These situations rattle our emotions to our core or change the normality that we call our life. During these times the ability to work through this with someone who specializes in transitional change maybe the answer!

Accepting new clients for Jan 2024 - complete intake form on my website to schedule. Do you struggle with wanting to change but don't know where to start or what to do? Life throws many challenges at us and it can be hard to cope with them. You may be holding on to old wounds that have traumatized you. Your family might argue a lot and wish they could just talk to each other. You may be a parent of a neurodiverse child in need of guidance. Or maybe you see the world differently than other people and don't really fit in. Whatever it is that brought you here, you deserve to be happy and in control of your life.

I have a deep love for people and desire for people to know and embody their worth. I approach therapy from a belief that healing begins with the therapeutic relationship itself and I will collaborate with you to discover new levels of safety and wholeness. It would be honor to come along side you in this journey. Before counseling I worked as a theatre artist and this informs my belief that healing is a whole body, as well as a creative endeavor. I have a high regard for the sacred and the role of spirituality and will incorporate this as directed by you.
