Individual + Relationship Therapy

Counseling for individuals and couples who are ready to make lasting and impactful change in themselves, their lives and relationships.

You are likely coming into therapy because you are in pain or experiencing a longing for things to be different. You may be having difficulty accessing the vulnerable parts of yourself. 

If you feel as though there are aspects of your life that are at odds with each other. You may struggle to know what needs to shift. Whether you’re dealing with anxiety, difficulties in relationships, or feeling stuck in old patterns, therapy can be a place to slow down and get real—with yourself, your feelings, and the things you want to change.

Meet Ayala

I’m Ayala Kalisher, a therapist who specializes in helping people access more safety, connection and pleasure in their lives. My approach blends traditional and cutting-edge modalities to help clients navigate stuck patterns, relationships, and personal growth with more ease and authenticity.

I believe therapy should be a place where you get to feel seen, supported, and empowered. Whether you’re seeking relief from painful past experiences, struggling in your relationships, or looking for a therapist who isn’t afraid to talk about sex, I welcome you as you are.

Let’s be real…

Reaching out to a therapist can feel terrifying. The idea of sitting down with a stranger and opening up about the hardest parts of your life? It makes total sense if that feels overwhelming or even impossible. You might be wondering,

“Will this person really get me? Can I really bring ALL of myself into therapy, and not be judged or put in a box? Can I even say this out loud?”

I specialize in working with folks who feel this way. I welcome all the things about you and your experiences that make you unique and brought you to where you are today. There are some parts you may be immensely proud of, and other things you may spend a lot of energy trying to hide. I welcome all of you here.  I will work with you to support your innate wisdom and wholeness.
