Maria Ayala-Amisial

My communication style

I'm naturally warm, nurturing, and loving, and I've been told that my communication style reflects this in a way that you can truly feel. I believe in communicating with compassion and empathy, creating a space where you feel supported, seen, and held, even through the more difficult conversations and processes.

My journey to mental healthcare

There's something truly special about witnessing the transformation that comes from feeling seen, heard, validated, and held. Creating these spaces within my relationships has always come very naturally to me, and I've felt deeply privileged when someone confides in me and allows me to see their vulnerable parts.

My goals for you

I understand that the therapeutic process is not always linear, and that's okay. I truly desire for you to have a deeply rewarding and fulfilling therapeutic experience, one that carries over into a more fulfilling life with yourself and those you love. There's always room for your goals, needs, and desires to evolve.

Our first session

In our first session, I'll take the time to understand your concerns, goals, and desires for your therapeutic journey. This session will also allow you to get a sense of who I am as a therapist and what it feels like to work with me. This initial session will help us both determine if we're a good fit to move forward.
