Not currently accepting patients

Hi there, I'm Aiyana!

If you feel lost in life, unable to do your day-to-day tasks, struggling to find happy moments, and wishing you could unplug from what's happening, I'm here to help. Being in a state of mental pain and frustration can feel exhausting and emotionally draining. Mental Health Counseling can help you regain a sense of mental peace and calm, and get your life back to normal.

My approach

I will help you reconnect and unleash your instinct, intuition, and natural capacity to heal using a holistic approach that integrates Western evidence-based practices with traditional Native American wisdom and experience. Together we will identify your triggers and develop effective coping skills to manage feelings of fear, isolation, stress, confusion, and frustration. We will work to restore a sense of security, balance, and harmony in your life.

My focus

I specialize in working with individuals and minors aged 13-17 on issues including anxiety, child abuse or neglect, codependency, cultural stress, coping skills, depression, job stress, panic attacks, racial trauma, parenting, self-harming, spirituality, and trauma/PTSD.

My communication style

I communicate in a direct yet compassionate manner, integrating both evidence-based practices and traditional wisdom. My approach is to listen intently, ask thoughtful questions, and provide guidance tailored to your unique needs. Together, we will identify challenges, develop coping strategies, and work towards restoring balance and well-being in your life.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey to mental healthcare began with earning my Doctor of Psychology degree. I completed my clinical hours for licensure from 03/2014-06/2017 at Community Counseling Services, 234 Main Street South Center Moriches NY 11934.

My goals for you

My goal is to help you regain a sense of mental peace, develop effective coping skills to manage difficult emotions, and restore security, balance and harmony in your life. I aim to help you get your life back to normal using a holistic approach tailored to your unique needs.
