Getting to know Ayana Lewis
There are times when we find ourselves on auto-pilot, in a state that feels mundane, overwhelming, and monotonous. We want to take our lives to the next level but may not have the tools to do so. If you are feeling stuck and want more out of life, I'm here to assist with setting goals, overcoming limiting beliefs, and developing coping skills that will propel you forward. I offer counseling services that are easily accessible, whether you are insured or self-pay.
Often, we focus on past experiences or feel anxious about the future. To address this, I use a combination approach that includes mindfulness (being present) and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (understanding how thoughts influence behaviors). This technique helps ground you in the present moment while identifying belief patterns that may hold you back.
I hold a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Georgia, which has equipped me with the knowledge and skills to support you effectively. I want you to know that by seeking out a qualified therapist, you’ve already taken an important step. In this very moment, you are making a life-changing decision to improve your overall mental well-being. If you are interested in how I can assist you on your life’s journey, please feel free to reach out. I’m here for you!
What should a new client know about working with you?
My goal over time is to help you get to a point in life where you are better able to challenge destructive belief and thought patterns. This will overall influence your quality of life.

More information on payments and coverage
Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.
