Getting to know Ayanna Bates

As a Licensed Social Worker, I have a passion for working with teens, young adults, and adults who are experiencing eating disorders, suicidal ideation, self-harm, depression, anxiety, grief, and trauma. I approach therapy using an anti-oppressive, trauma-informed, and strengths-based lens. I believe therapy should be collaborative, and I strive to support clients in reaching their life-worth-living goals and finding their path to healing. I am passionate about supporting folks in healing from eating disorders and disordered eating, implementing evidence-based treatments while using a harm reduction approach. I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), having completed DBT intensive training under the supervision of Dr. Andre Ivanoff, Ph.D., and DBT Prolonged Exposure for PTSD, having completed intensive training with Melanie Harnad, PhD, ABPP. I also have a strong background in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Exposure and Response Prevention Therapy, and Family-Based Therapy. I look forward to being a passenger alongside you in your healing journey and supporting you through the tough moments at your pace and in ways that are aligned with your long-term goals.
