Dr. Ayana Ince, PsyD

Dr. Ayana Ince, PsyD

Psychologist
CA
Hi there, I'm Ayana! My name is Dr. Ayana Ince, and I am a Licensed Clinical Psychologist (PsyD) based in Southern California, working with clients statewide via telehealth. I earned my PsyD in Psychology from the Chicago School of Professional Psychology. I work with adults, adolescents, and first responders, specializing in anxiety, depression, PTSD, work- and school-related stress, anger management, and pain management. I utilize Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing to help my clients make progress and start feeling better. My approach My approach depends on the needs and goals of each client. I most frequently use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing. Both help me and the client gain a shared understanding of their reality, goals, and motivation for change. My focus My style and approach fit adults, adolescents, and first responders dealing with work, school, and social pressures. This often appears as anxiety, depression, and stress. I help clients build coping and problem-solving skills and develop confidence, allowing them to feel better about themselves. My communication style My communication style is empathetic, open, and personable. I want clients to feel comfortable talking about anything without judgment during sessions. My journey to therapy I became a clinical psychologist because I have always wanted to help others. I strive to help people overcome, process, and navigate their challenges. I enjoy seeing clients achieve their personal goals. My goals for you I focus on collaborating with clients to define goals, starting by building rapport, setting goals, and later tracking progress. My first session with you Our first session will involve discussing how you have been feeling recently and your reasons for seeking therapy.
