Offering psychotherapy for adults & college students seeking relief for stress, anxiety, and sleep problems. Starting psychotherapy is hard enough without feeling alone trying to navigate finding a therapist. People come to Ayama because they want to trust that they are going to receive needed guidance from the point of first contact.
Our well-established, health-minded psychotherapy practice provides individual attention, while drawing from empirical evidence for what works for a fulfilled, healthy life when stress or anxiety arise.We work with college students and adults (age 18-108+) who want support and guidance in managing life, stress, anxiety and health (sleep, weight/body image).
Does it work and what's involved? Yes, it works, but it is definitely "work." You will be asked to examine your experiences, beliefs, feelings and thoughts. The therapist's job is to allow you to speak freely and to be attentive, while giving you trustworthy, professional guidance about how to make the changes you seek.

About
Report
We are clinicians valuing overall health and intentional living.
Our therapists balance appreciation of the individual, while drawing heavily from empirical evidence of what works.
Most people with sleep problems are very tired, describing having "tried everything" to sleep better.
They are very surprised to discover that tossing and turning during the night in an effort to sleep can be relieved in a long-term manner, without medications and typically within a handful of sessions.
I especially enjoy working with clients to find better sleep, including more restful and restorative sleep.
