Lissette Ayala

Lisette is extremely accessible and doesn’t make me feel like a “patient.” If I get sidetracked or distracted, she notices and brings me back to reality. Lisette is unlike any therapist I’ve had before. I feel safe and safe to be honest, no matter the feelings attached to what I’m talking about. She doesn’t use all the topical and contemporary jargon and just gets down to the point. Direct. Which is helpful for when you shrouded with depressive or anxious thoughts. She’s always helps me feel better when I’m stuck and ways to make me feel more in control when those moments happen.

Lissette has a very practical and no nonsense approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. She has a wide range of tools and approaches and keeps me engaged in my work between sessions with thought provoking material surveys and suggestions that support the work we are doing.

It took me a long time to find the right therapist, but she is definitely the one I need in the trenches with me. From being quite lost, Lisette has helped me find my voice and develop the self awareness and care practices I need.

She is truly compassionate and a pleasure to chat with

In the short period of knowing and working with Lissette. I’m starting to see a change. She’s really good and I feel so comfortable talking to her.

Smart, friendly, compassionate, insightful.

Lissette is really amazing. She seems to really listen to what I am saying and is so understanding! I haven't had to over explain anything to her, she gets it right away. She is so intuitive and goes at YOUR pace, she does not push or make things uncomfortable.

I have experience with a counselor in the past for my anxiety and was nervous about going back to someone virtually, but I’m glad I did. Lisette is very kind, compassionate and responsive. In our phone call, she really took the time to understand my thoughts and feelings, and to help me redirect my thinking. She’s quick to respond to my messages as well. It’s really been a positive experience.

Very thoughtful/caring and extremely professional

Lissette has provided me with clarity, validation, comfort & strategies to help me get through challenges in my life. Our sessions are grounding & we discuss specific things I am able to reflect on outside of our session while I implement changes. Even through our phone sessions I can tell she is caring, realistic, compassionate, incredibly attentive, and wants what’s best for me. She’s an absolutely wonderful therapist!

Lissette listened to my concerns and experiences and helped me to recognize the tools I already had as well as helping me find some clarity within myself and my feelings.
