I am a licensed mental health counselor in Massachusetts with a Master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling from Lesley University in Cambridge. I have extensive experience both as an outpatient therapist for adults and as an emergency room crisis clinician. It has been my privilege to serve many wonderful clients on Betterhelp since 2020. I do my best to provide a pleasant environment where each client is comfortable talking freely about anything burdening them, no matter how longstanding or complex. As your counselor, my first responsibility is to understand your experience and perspective so that I can effectively work together with you toward greater health and well-being. I want you to have concrete ways to overcome internal obstacles, negative thoughts and self-defeating behavioral patterns. My approach is based on the principle that hope, enjoyment, and perspective are largely choices that you can make to attain a more fulfilling life.

My name is Kristi Ayer, and I’m a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker in the state of Massachusetts. I have over 13 years experience in the mental health field and have worked with individuals who are suffering from substance use, depression, mood disorders, relationship issues, difficult life transitions, low self worth, spiritual distress, and trauma including military-related PTSD. My therapeutic style is eclectic and my experience has led me to approach mental and emotional health holistically. I believe in whole human, whole story, whole life experience. My approach is rooted in the belief that we must take accountability, set boundaries, and reclaim ourselves by stepping out of conditioning and into worthiness. I am known for: - Offering an alternative perspective rooted in psycho-spiritual concepts, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy. - Providing a safe space to help you better understand your emotions and behavioral patterns so that you can make powerful and healthier decisions for yourself. - A laid back approach that allows for vulnerability which fosters the awareness necessary for change and growth. - Encouraging alignment with your authentic self by restructuring negative subconscious beliefs. - Quickly building a strong therapeutic relationship where you will be seen as an individual not a label or diagnosis. Let me join you in the journey of self acceptance, understanding, and love as you work towards goals that will lead you to a more fulfilling and purposeful life!

33 years offering treatment
I am a cognitive-behavioral psychologist & have focused my work on helping children, adults & older adults to develop skills to manage emotional, behavioral & health problems. These include problems related to attention, learning, pain, chronic health, insecurity and relationships with others. Because of my background in language & development, I see many of such issues as deriving from “over-thinking” or reflection & self-talk. Such a nature may lead to frustrations with results of current counseling & medication. As a pharmacologist, I also have experience studying effects of physical state & medications for physical illness on mood, behavior & emotions. With such a background, I may help people separate such effects from concerns for their psychological well-being & to identify things they may do to minimize those effects. Finally, I am myself an outdoorsman, exerciser, marathoner who loves dogs, cats & horses and writes parables about them. I have supported each of those & related activities in experiential therapy programs to address the problems above. I have also counseled others in identifying alternatives when life circumstances or injuries leads to the loss of the chance to use those skills you have developed to manage your life.

Hi there! I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in the states of Rhode Island and Massachusetts. I have experience in treating individuals from 2 years old through adulthood. I have worked in a variety of settings including: home-based, outpatient, group therapy, school-based, and early childhood programs, and am now excited to expand my practice into online therapy. I frequently support individuals struggling with anxiety, depression, OCD, ADHD, trauma, grief/loss, low self-esteem, interpersonal conflicts, and difficult life transitions. Within my career as a mental health counselor, I have sharpened my professional skills in a variety of modalities and interventions and tend to utilize an eclectic approach in therapy, incorporating aspects of cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused, dialectic behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness, among other strategies. My personal counseling style relies heavily on providing psychoeducation and connecting with clients through the use of metaphors and analogies. I find that this better helps them to understand therapeutic concepts as they relate to themselves and come to their own meaningful insights. Counseling should be a strengths-based and collaborative process that looks beyond individuals’ pathology and empowers them to make the beneficial changes they need in order to attain a healthier lifestyle. My main priority is to collaborate with you to determine your needs and goals and, subsequently, develop the best overall approach to help you along your journey. Everyone experiences different types of challenges and upheavals throughout their life. Navigating these challenges alone may be overwhelming and yet, seeking out professional help can also seem daunting. My hope is to guide you to uncovering your inherent strengths in order to help you help yourself. When you’re ready to take the next step towards your personal goals, I’d love to be there to support you! I look forward to working with you! Kayla

I have dedicated my career to supporting individuals who have experienced complex trauma, as well as those facing a variety of mental health challenges, including but not limited to, anxiety, depression, mood disorders, and attachment-related issues. As a Christian therapist, I bring an empathetic, faith-centered perspective to the therapeutic process, while respecting and honoring the unique beliefs and values of each client. I believe that Jesus and therapy go well together and it’s through faith in Him and belief in His word, we can have true peace and change. Isaiah 43:19 “Behold, I am doing a new thing; now it springs forth, do you not perceive it? I will make a way in the wilderness and rivers in the desert.” What a powerful truth!

Above all, my goal is to empower my clients, help them gain clarity, and guide them toward living a life that aligns with their values and aspirations. I believe therapy is a journey and a partnership, and while it may feel uncomfortable at times, it is in this space of discomfort that growth and healing can occur. My strength lies in helping clients feel safe and supported as we navigate these challenges together and to be there as you take the next steps toward a more fulfilling and content life. I can't wait to get started!
