Ashley Ayala, LMFT

Ashley Ayala, LMFT

Psychotherapist
CA
Hi there, I'm Ashley! I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Accredited Parenting Coach, and Founder of The Modern Parent. I earned my Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy from California State University. Through deep healing work with families, I have learned how vital it is to fully understand yourself to show up in alignment with who you want to be. With over a decade in the field, the most change comes from entering a safe space where you can explore how your experiences have shaped you and the narrative you’ve been told about yourself. It is possible to rewire this narrative and live authentically. My approach By taking a partially structured approach to sessions, you can share concerns and stressors while we explore how these link to your values, relationships, goals, and sense of self. I provide psycho-education on the brain and body, how trauma often blocks potential, and how you show up versus how you want to show up in life. I use a supportive, strength-based approach to help you re-train your thoughts, behaviors, and views to meet your goals. This is done in individual, couple, and parenting work. My focus I work with clients ready to understand how current and past stressors, relationships, and concerns interfere with living fully and enjoying life. We peel back layers and stories about the "problem" and shift the narrative to one that allows functioning as you deserve. My communication style I take a kind, positive, and gentle approach. Clients often say their problem feels "normalized," and they gain helpful insight and tangible strategies. I also enjoy laughing with clients and building human-to-human relationships. My journey to therapy Growing up, I’ve always been interested in people and the stories behind them.
