Hi there! I’m Ayana. I’m a Christian therapist specializing in helping Black and African-American women struggling with Anxiety and Depression. There are times when we find ourselves on auto-pilot, in a state of being that is mundane, overwhelming, and monotonous. If you are feeling stuck and want more out of life, I'm here to assist with setting goals, overcoming limited beliefs, and developing appropriate coping skills that will propel you forward in life. I use a combination approach that includes mindfulness practices, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), solution-focused and person-centered therapies. These techniques help with grounding and appreciating the present moment while identifying belief patterns that are a hindrance.
I want you to know that you've already taken the right step by seeking out a qualified therapist. In this very moment, you are making a life-changing decision to improve your overall mental well-being. I'm here for you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Speaking with Ms. Lewis has been a breath of fresh air for me. She listens intently, is completely honest and gives the advice that is needed…which is not always what a person may want to hear. I truly appreciate her and the work she does to help me and many others. This was my first time ever receiving therapy and I hit the jackpot!
