Carmen Ayala
I bring a culturally sensitive, compassionate approach to therapy, honoring the unique experiences and identities that shape who you are. I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel truly seen, heard, and supported. Our work together is rooted in trust, connection, and collaboration. I draw from a variety of therapeutic tools and tailor my approach to meet your specific needs. My goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges and discover what helps you feel more grounded, empowered, and whole.
I am a therapist at Octave, a behavioral health practice creating a new standard for mental health care that’s both high-quality and accessible. To learn more about my availability, please reach out to our Client Experience team by emailing or calling.
