Getting to know Carmen Ayala

I am a licensed mental health counselor in New York state, holding a Master’s degree in Mental Health Counseling from Iona University. I have experience working with a variety of issues such as anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, interpersonal relationships, anger management, life transitions, and self-esteem.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I provide a non-judgmental and compassionate space for you to freely express your thoughts and emotions. I believe that creating a safe, collaborative, and supportive environment is important in working towards your own healing and growth. I strive to guide you through self-compassion and empower you to improve your overall well-being.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

*Before your first appointment, please expect an email in order to confirm insurance coverage and fill out intake forms.* The first session is typically an intake that allows us to get to know each other and set therapeutic goals. After that, sessions are set up on a weekly basis.
