Getting to know Erica Ayala

Hello, I'm Erica Ayala, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I specialize in working with adolescents aged 13 and up, young adults, and older adults. My areas of expertise include trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, anger management, stress management, and sex trafficking. I utilize a variety of treatment modalities, including CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, Reality Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, Harm Reduction, and Choice Therapy, to tailor our sessions to your unique needs. I believe that while our minds carry emotional stress, our bodies do too. We often store trauma and stress physically, and I am here to help you reprocess and release that trauma. Trauma can be any stressor that occurs suddenly and forcefully, overwhelming you. My passion lies in helping you resolve deeper issues hidden beneath your current patterns. Whatever has you feeling stuck, I am here to be a source of energy and direction as you choose to become unstuck. Exploring your story at your own pace is important to me. I offer a safe space where you can be heard and understood, providing supportive listening, thoughtful questions, and the sharing of insights. Together, we can explore mindfulness and practical suggestions to help you grow. It brings me great joy to empower my clients to discover and foster their innate strengths while expanding their toolbox for life. I look forward to being a part of your journey towards healing and growth. If you're ready to take the next step, let's connect and start this journey together.
