Therapists in Surprise, AZ

I am available for Teletherapy sessions throughout the state of Arizona. I use a variety of techniques & experiential methods to help my clients change their self-defeating patterns and access & process underlying emotional blocks. I tailor my work to meet individual needs drawing primarily from the theories of Mindfullness-Based Cognitive Therapy as well as Gestalt, Adlerian & Jungian Therapy, My work is guided by the premise that each individual holds within them the capacity to understand and heal themselves. My role is to facilitate a connection to this capacity which allows my clients to feel more fulfilled & connected in life.

I have experience working with many areas, including anxiety, depression, any of life's necessary adjustments, marriage and family concerns, and more. I appreciate when a client is willing to consider new ideas, to practice what we've worked on together, and to implement those new ideas into practice in day to day life. My ideal client is a collaborative individual, excited for new perspective and willing to meet those challenges head on. Tell me what you think! We are partners through this process together.

I have a Master's in Counseling Psychology from Avila University and a Bachelor's in Psychology from the University of Missouri-Columbia with training in Trauma- Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Gestalt Therapy, Gottman Method Couple's Therapy & Play Therapy. Beyond my education, I have experience working with children ages 3 and up, adolescents, and adults with a variety of mental health issues, including severe and persistent mental illnesses, addictions, trauma, abuse, neglect, couples and relationship issues, grief and loss, and mood/anxiety disorders. I use a multidisciplinary approach based on the individual and their specific need and therefore use a variety of therapeutic models.

As a Jungian analyst, I bring a depth perspective to our work. Maybe you find yourself at a crossroad in your life and don't know what path to take, or are feeling stuck, depressed or unsure what you are going. Or maybe you know where you want to go but can't see how to get there. You might be experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, or a lack of meaning in your life. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who listens and doesn't tell us what to do or think. We may need to try to put into words what we are thinking or feeling.

Ms. Ayala is a Licensed Professional Counselor and AZBHE board certified supervisor. I specialize in adolescents from ages 13 and up, young adult, and older adult population. My treatment areas include trauma, anxiety, depression, personality disorders, mood disorders, suicidal ideation, anger management, stress management, and sex trafficking. Treatment modalities include up to but not all CBT, TF-CBT, DBT, Reality therapy, motivational interviewing, harm reduction, and choice therapy. I believe while our minds carry our emotional stress, our bodies do, too. We store trauma and stress in our bodies.

In my practice, I provide the necessary emotional environment that is conducive to healing and use the most advanced proven therapeutic tools for my clients. I believe that any adverse life event can overwhelm the normal adaptive capacity of any person at any age. Untreated, it can lead to the development of dysfunctional behaviors, feelings, and thoughts, such as depression, anxiety, obsession, negative self-talk, low self esteem, procrastination, PTSD, anger & relationship issues, among others. I also believe that everyone has the innate healing capacity to overcome these issues with the help of an experienced professional.

I have been a therapist since 1978. I taught undergraduate and graduate Psychology courses at Ottawa University (11 years) and Rio Salado College (17 years).I specialize in OCD and obsessive sexual behaviors but have treated nearly every type of client and diagnosis over the past four decades. I'm told I'm personable and that people feel comfortable with me immediately.
