About Ayana Mbonu
Please inquire directly about fees before you book your appointment as Ayana Mbonu and her associates run a premium practice that does not accept insurance. The practice responds very quickly to requests as they understand that you are taking a large and important step for yourself in seeking services.
I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with over five years of experience. I have worked with individuals presenting with a wide range of concerns. I have worked with individuals struggling with depression, anxiety, and relationship issues; in private and employee assistance settings.
My counseling philosophy is that you are the expert of your own life. My approach incorporates different therapeutic techniques to make sure that your specific concern is addressed. Our work together will always be person-centered and strength-based because I genuinely believe that you have what it takes to succeed. My role is to guide and support you in building the skills and confidence necessary to live your best life. I meet each client where you are and build on your strengths and resources. I will always be empathetic and patient and put you first. As your therapist, I can aid in identifying those things, that are getting in the way of you reaching your goals. Together, we can undo false belief systems and unhealthy habits. Seeking therapy is the first step in that process.
I look forward to working together!
Please note that I work in a practice that does not take health insurance. We do accept out of network coverage however.

Mrs. Mbonu is a conscientious listener. She was very insightful and offered realistic tools for an introspective solution. As a professional myself that deals with the emotions of others, Mrs. Mbonu has made it possible to access strategies that will benefit both me and my clients.

Highly recommended! Ayana is an amazing therapist. I am so fortunate to have had the pleasure of meeting with her. She helped me through one of the most difficult and challenging times in my life. Forever grateful.

Ayana has been such a supportive force. Her technique is spot on and is tailored to what I need out of each session. She has helped me develop my relationships in a healthy and direct way. I am working on confidently approaching difficult, new challenges with her. She is guiding me through actually facing issues or good things instead of avoiding how I feel.
Trusting myself and paying attention to my reactions has helped me to respond with a clearer head. I am learning to replace my old destructive toxic coping mechanisms with functional self caring ones. I have made strides toward bettering myself and interactions with others, thanks to her!

My visit was very much helpful for me. I was comfortable and able to express my concerns freely....the feedback was exactly what I needed to hear for me to believe in myself; I would recommend Ms. Mbonu gladly, her professionalism and dedication to her job is truly sincere.

My daughter and I enjoy our visits with her therapist. Ms. Ayana is very calm, soft spoken, and care about her patients. My daughter really doesn't open up to a lot of people about how she feels and Ms. Ayana got her to open up so much more.

I am very pleased with my sessions with Ayana. She is very insightful and gives great feedback to what I share with her. I feel comfortable to speak freely and uninhibited with her. She is very knowledgeable and understanding and offers a positive ear to listen. I appreciate her being REAL and down-to-earth and non-judgemental. The more comfortable you feel with a therapist, the more open you are to share in order to experience effective therapy that you can also learn and grow from and that is what I experience with Ayana. And might I add she is GREAT with children also as I have had the pleasure of watching her interact with my own children causing them to exhibit very positive behavior. I would definitely recommend Ayana as a GREAT therapist!

I had never been to therapy and was quite reluctant, but Ayana's calm, compassionate, and professional nature put me at ease. Working with her over a short period of time has helped restore my confidence and her honesty is what has guided me to understand how to navigate through some minor setbacks.

My visit was very good because Ayana shows that she really cares about the well being of her clients and takes her time to hear you out before giving you her recommendation. I will definitely come back to see her again.
