Getting to know Ayse Darnell
Do you often find yourself struggling on the fringes or dealing with intense trauma, anxiety, or depression? Are you from a minority population or a marginalized group? You deserve a space of healing and complete acceptance to explore, grow, and understand yourself fully. As a provider, my goal is to focus on what YOU want to work on during your journey of growth and healing. You are your own expert-I'm here to help keep us on the path.
I am a Half-Turkish LPCC-S with a Master's in Mental Health Counseling from the University of Louisville. I specialize in EMDR, cultural diversity, anxiety, depression, LGBTQIA+ concerns, alternative lifestyles, and neurodivergent populations. I am deeply passionate about meeting clients where they are and working collaboratively with them and any supports in their lives, using whatever methods work best for each individual.
Starting therapy, no matter how many times you may have tried before, can be frightening-but I am here to help make this process as smooth as possible. Let's work together to see where your life can go and how it can change!
What should a new client know about working with you?
Following your first session you will have the beginnings of tools to start making a true difference in your life. Depending on your needs, we may even have begun an EMDR treatment plan. You will have someone in your corner, to support you and help navigate your therapy journey from day one!
After multiple sessions, we will dig a little deeper to the patterns, to the triggers to the causes for those concerns. I will help support your journey through resources and coping skills to allow you to stand on your own.
It is my goal that while therapy takes as long as it takes, and can even stop and start multiple times, that someone gets to the point where they no longer need me. It is my hope that with all the resources available, you will get to the place that therapy isn't required.

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.

I don't think I could have found a better pick. She was not my first therapist on here but she is the best therapist on here at least for me. I feel seen, I feel understood, I feel taken care of
