Carlos Ayala, LCSW, EMDR Certified, EMDRIA Consultant-In-Training

I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, EMDR certified and trained in Ego State Therapy. I specialize in helping people heal from trauma and grief- with a focus on childhood and attachment wounds that echo into the present.

My approach is relational, somatic, and grounded in the belief that all parts of you deserve compassion and understanding. I’m known for being warm, steady, and direct. I won’t tiptoe around the hard stuff, and I’ll always tell you the truth with care. Therapy with me isn’t about quick fixes- it’s about creating space for deep work, honest exploration, and lasting change.

I offer a space that is affirming of LGBTQ+ identities, neurodiversity, and the complex intersections of culture, identity, and experience.

I offer intensive therapy sessions for individuals and couples- virtually, in-person, or in-home. If you’re feeling the pull to heal, grow, and reconnect with yourself- I’m here for it.
