You may be someone who is thoughtful and self-aware, feeling stuck in a relationship, a life transition, or patterns that no longer fit. You might be navigating questions of identity, belonging, stress, or emotional overwhelm — individually or within an important relationship. You may be looking for a clinician who is inclusive, real, and kind, and for therapy that feels collaborative rather than rushed or prescriptive. Your goal may be to better understand yourself and your relationships, and to move through life with greater clarity, steadiness, and connection.

Clients have said that I offer something very different and powerful. I have seen those committed to their healing stop having flashbacks/panic attacks, get better sleep, improve relationships, heal from addictions, make more money while working less, improve physical health, and become happy! I offer a warm, funny, conversational-style therapy, specializing in healing trauma of all kinds. Trauma shows up most commonly as Anxiety, Depression, Addiction (FREEZE threat response), ADHD/ADD (FLIGHT), Anger issues (FIGHT), People-pleasing/Codependency (FAWN), and relationship issues.

When the pain of living life by others' rules outweighs the fear of showing up as our authentic selves, that is often when we show up in therapy. I'd love to support you if you are in this state; this is the liminal state, between no longer and not yet. This is a time that is ripe for transformation. In my 20 years in practice I’ve come to see that the most important factor that leads to effective therapy is the resonance between client & therapist; a joint endeavor based in a relationship of trust, openness, safety and respect. I offer an environment of calm in which I deeply listen and look to see you as you want to be seen. .

Ayla specializes in treating trauma, loss, and grief. Grief can arise when a relationship ends, a loved one or pet passes, or when you receive news of a terminally ill diagnosis. Subtle forms of grief can present with aging, Empty Nesting, or even grieving the loss of a happy childhood you never experienced. Many people continue to grieve the loss of their pre-pandemic lives without the awareness that this is still impacting them. New grief often reactivates old losses. Ayla creates a safe space for you to unpack your source(s) of emotional pain, adding new insights and perspectives, helping you to move forward in life.

All of us face experiences in our lives where we can benefit from the support and connection that therapy provides. Scientific evidence demonstrates that a strong and consistent therapeutic relationship is restorative, healing and emotionally regulating. As a therapist, I believe in connecting with clients, human-to-human, and I regularly feel a deep sense of understanding for those with whom I work. There is so much noise around us that it is often difficult for us to hear our own truth. I offer a compassionate, heart-centered space to help you to deeply trust your own inner strength and core values.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?

The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.

Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?

Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.

Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?

The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.

How much does therapy cost?

The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.

What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?

Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.

Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?

Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.

Is online therapy a good option?

Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.

Are therapy sessions confidential?

Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
