Connect with Therapists who accept Blue Cross and/or Blue Shield in Gaithersburg, MD

Many of my clients come to therapy feeling stuck, unsure how to move forward but knowing something needs to shift. If that sounds like you, you're not alone, and I'd be honored to support you through it. I work with adults navigating stress, trauma, anxiety, grief, and major life transitions.

I am a psychotherapist dedicated to helping individuals navigate the complexities of life and find a path toward healing and personal growth. My practice is rooted in a compassionate, client-centered approach that honors the unique experiences and strengths of each individual.

I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in Maryland and a Licensed Professional Counselor in South Carolina and Georgia. In our therapy together, we can focus on relationship stressors, past trauma, women's health, identity conflicts, self-esteem, and vocational stress, and I prioritize the topics you choose. I look forward to meeting you.

I believe that true healing begins from within and should focus on you as a whole: mind, body, and spirit.

"I AM" Ms. Ayana. You’ve been holding it all together, haven’t you? Work. Family. Expectations. You look fine on the outside, but inside, you’re tired of keeping it together. You don’t need fixing—you just need a space to finally exhale. That’s what we’ll do here.

I support individuals through mental health and recovery journeys with compassion and evidence-based practices. I create a safe, stable environment where you can navigate challenges and achieve success. My goal is to empower you by helping you understand your strengths, develop resilience, and build healthier, more fulfilling lives.

I am excited to possibly work with you. Some therapeutic approaches I like to utilize include: family systems, Adlerian theories, person-centered theories, and NTU therapeutic approach.

Congratulations on taking the first step to connect with a therapist. I help clients address depression, trauma, life transitions, and anxiety. I believe people are inherently capable of managing their circumstances but sometimes need support to succeed.

I work with adults navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship challenges, grief, and stress. Many of my clients are high-functioning individuals who feel overwhelmed by responsibilities, changes, or relationship concerns. Therapy provides a supportive space to gain clarity, strengthen coping skills, and move forward with confidence.

You don't have to wait for life to change to start living differently. I help clients challenge unhelpful thoughts, face emotional hurdles, and take intentional steps toward healing and growth—because lasting change begins in the mind.

I help individuals navigate relationship difficulties, family conflicts, caregiving challenges, anxiety, depression, and self-esteem issues. My goal is to support you through life's challenges with warmth and understanding.

I help people decide what they want out of life and take action toward it. My approach validates your experiences while pushing for new heights in your present and future. I assist others in discovering their inner peace and vitality. Let us work together to acknowledge your struggles and create a new direction.

I’m a therapist who believes that healing happens best in a space where you can show up exactly as you are. My style is warm, open, and down-to-earth, and I work hard to make sure you feel safe, heard, and comfortable. And yes—along the way, I also welcome moments of shared laughter or lightness.

My practice is built on the belief that everyone has within them the ability to change the trajectory of their life. My role is to help you uncover that hope, strengthen your voice, and build practical tools so you can move toward the life you truly want.

My approach is simple: you are the expert in your own life. My role is to empower individuals facing mental health challenges by providing the tools and support they need to build the fulfilling life they envision.
