Getting to know Freda Ayers
Hi there, I'm Freda!
My name is Freda Ayers, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Master’s in Social Work from the University of Southern California. My therapeutic style is genuine and supportive, designed to help my clients achieve their goals. I utilize a strength-based perspective to assist them in exploring their worries and experiences fearlessly, guiding them toward a positive direction.
My approach
For each client, I provide an authentic and understanding environment, recognizing that each person’s needs are unique. I am dedicated to empowering others to make meaningful decisions about their lives. Trained in evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT), Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavior Therapy (TF-CBT), Moral Reconation Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Seeking Safety, and Motivational Interviewing, I tailor my approach based on the client’s identified needs during each session.
My focus
With 14 years of experience, I have worked with a broad and adaptable client base, providing psychotherapy and supportive services to children, adolescents, adults, and families across diverse settings such as schools, county and community inpatient and outpatient agencies, and justice settings. I particularly focus on developing clients’ coping strategies and supporting them through life transitions, addressing issues like anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, and self-esteem concerns. Ultimately, I meet clients where they are in their therapeutic journey, helping them identify challenges and develop positive solutions tailored to their needs.
My communication style
I strive to create a warm, supportive, and collaborative environment in our sessions—a safe space where you can explore your thoughts and ideas without judgment. I’m here to listen actively and engage thoughtfully so you feel comfortable sharing and reflecting.
