I am a Licensed Professional Counselor who has been in the helping profession for over 26 years.
The journey has been both personally and professionally rewarding!
I have taken a very nontraditional career path over the years from Nursing, Education, Administration, Consulting, and Counseling.
My myriad of professional experiences in both the public and private sectors have equipped me with a unique set of skills, a wealth of knowledge, and clinical expertise to aid others in developing life-long wellness.
While I am a seasoned professional, I try not to take myself too seriously; hence, my approach to therapy.
I am a firm believer that we ONLY change and grown when we actually make a conscious decision to do so.
It is at that time when we will grow and thrive at being our "BEST" selves.
I look forward to hearing from you soon!
Total wellness,
Dr. Jen Ayers

I have been working with Dr Ayers for nearly 2 years and she has been supportive throughout the period. She is able to connect the dots and help me understand myself from a new perspective. I feel I have someone beside me when things are tough. I highly recommend her to anyone who wants a councelor with high level of empathy and authenticity.

We haven’t been working together for long but in the time we have Dr Ayers is kind and she hears what I’m saying. She is sensible in her responses and she seems intuitive thus far. I would recommend her.

Dr. Ayers is by far the best counselor I have ever met on BetterHelp. Do not hesitate to contact her, she listens and checks on you every once in a week. I like it even I am being away from home a thousand miles away.

I was skeptical of online counseling, but this has been a wonderful help so far. I feel like the matching process worked very well and I couldn’t have found a more compatible and helpful counselor than Dr. J! She has a lot of experience and is helping me get to the root of things I’ve carried a long time.
