Ayah Issa, LCSW

Ayah Issa, LCSW

Psychotherapist
NY
Often, life can pass us by without us even noticing. We self-sabotage so often it becomes instinctual – like staying in situations that don’t feel good, accepting negative treatment, or getting into unhealthy relationships. Sometimes they feel more comfortable. Our emotions – particularly depression and anxiety – strap us into exhausting roller coaster rides, sending us careening from side to side, top to bottom, with their unpredictability. My mission is to help you dive deep into intentionality. To dive into yourself. To reclaim who you are, what you want, what isn’t and is okay with you, to reject abuse and accept good instinctually. To process pain, grieve the past, and accept and reject what you want. To get you living life on your terms. I’ve been there. I’ve been through the months of depression, the fear of depression, passive suicidality, anxiety that leads to panic attacks, debilitating low self-esteem. I’ll place the same focus, persistence, curiosity, compassion, and patience I put on myself on you. Because you deserve it. You deserve to be free. To live your life free without the fear of anxiety, depression, and trauma. You deserve contentment and peace of mind. I graduated from Rutgers University (May 2016) and Columbia University (May 2019). I trained in structural family therapy under consultants from the Minuchin Center. In graduate school, I also studied the DSM 5 and all the ways disorders appear in adults and children. I’ve also continued my own studies in Internal Family Systems, Polyvagal theory, trauma-informed practices, components of DBT, and CBT. I have completed the required EMDR trainings and can provide EMDR therapy. I have my LMSW and practice in New York and New Jersey under Greenagel Counseling Services, LLC. I use narrative therapy, trauma-informed care, chair work, mindfulness, Internal Family Systems, EMDR, eleme
