Getting to know Kristi Ayer

Over the past 15 years, clients have come to me feeling stuck and defeated. Determined to help people live their best lives, I became an expert in managing the mind. I hold a Master's in Social Work from Salem State University, which has deepened my understanding of mental health and healing. My process includes utilizing EMDR to break through unconscious negative beliefs, then shifting to CBT, mindfulness-based, and coaching concepts to elevate conscious thinking to the level required to access your most desired life. By increasing awareness, taking accountability, and stepping out of conditioning and into worthiness, you will gain back control of your mind and, in turn, your life. Join me in the process of getting unstuck and reducing emotional suffering.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I am known for: Offering an alternative perspective rooted in mindfulness and brain science, quickly building a strong therapeutic alliance where you will be seen as an individual not a label or diagnosis, and providing evidenced based tools to help you better understand your thoughts, emotions, subconscious beliefs and behavioral patterns. I believe in whole human, whole story, whole life experience. You are fully whole, worthy and deserving, just as you are. Each of us deserves and has the capacity to live a joyful, fulfilling and purposeful life. It starts with a choice and committing to change, despite it feeling uncomfortable. I look forward to being your guide back to wholeness :)

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I utilize awareness-based therapy that integrates physical, mental, spiritual, cognitive and emotional forms of well-being. This approach fosters self-development and empowers people to grow into the most worthy, whole, and deserving versions of themselves. I offer sessions through telehealth only - you can conveniently receive therapy without having to leave the comfort of your home!I do not accept insurance at this time but can provide a superbill to help with reimbursement.
