“I really like working with Dr. Vallis - she is down to earth, listens, asks me questions, asks me why I am doing things, asks me if I like the results and most importantly, she stays on track of the goal and the progress. I think she has been at this a long time because it seems she knows the answer to any question I have about anxiety, stress, sleep, emotional overwhelm, childhood patterns, relationships. She always says if she does not know he will tell me...I haven't' found something she doesn't know about yet. She does challenge me on my BS- which I like. I will say something and she will just say it back to me and ask me how it sounds. Of course, I don't like it. It's hard to hold myself accountable, so I am forever grateful that she is in my life because I have never felt like she judged me once. I am a much worse judge of myself. She is always just very kind to me and I always feel better after a session with her. If you can book a session- do it!”

“you will love her. I was really very impressed. She is likely the most supportive, engaging and down-to-earth psychologist I have ever met with. She simplified psychological terms and was clear about the benefits of various treatment options. have also taken her mindfulness meditation class and that has helped my anxiety and anger more than words can say. She has been very proactive in helping me consider how all areas of my health are linked. She sent me to a pain management specialist after explaining how my pain was linked to my anger and sleep issues. She has even helped my wife better understand how some of the behavioral health challenges I face can show up in some of my communication issues. I consider myself quite fortunate to have met her, worked on my issues with her, learned from her and been inspired by her.”

Getting to know Dr. Ayn Vallis
I accept Aetna insurance only & private pay.
The best therapy helps you identify what’s keeping you stuck and helps you make changes to do something about it. My style is direct, warm, down-to-earth and focused on progress. You won’t spend endless sessions rehashing the same old problem without solutions.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I can explain the patterns underneath anxiety or hypervigilance. I can walk you through improving your relationship with yourself so that your self-esteem rises and your self-worth returns. I will help you examine exactly what you had to learn to survive that painful childhood so you can transition from “survival mode” into “thriving mode”.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Talk Therapy is a vital part of your healing journey. Therapy can help you understand why all of your relationships end up in the same spot. When honest conversation and suggestions are combined with your willingness to be healthy and try new behaviors you will see positive changes. You will feel like yourself again, and that’s a great feeling. Let’s get your account set up in Headway…and then once verified, let’s get you scheduled.

Dr. Vallis is amazing. She is the best and I have seen 5 or 6 other therapists in the past (social workers and psychologists). She helped me slow down long enough to realize the heavy burden that I had been carrying for so long. She listened to my goals and when I asked for specific things I could do right now- she gave me a list of things! I tried them, not all at once, but I tried them and they worked! And I am myself again. There is no real way I can thank her. She helped me to change my life for the better!
