About Ayla O’Mara, MA, LCMHC

Openings available! —I believe that a collaborative approach and a genuine therapeutic relationship serve as the foundation for immense personal growth and change. I work from a place of warmth and compassion, striving to create a safe and non-judgmental space from which to explore emotions, life patterns, and areas for growth. I specialize in working with college students and adults experiencing anxiety, depression, life transitions, loss, relationship challenges, and trauma. I have worked as a counselor for eight years, working in college counseling, community mental health, and five years now in private practice.

I practice psychotherapy from an integrative approach, incorporating humanistic, psychodynamic, and strength-based orientations. I believe that lasting change begins with a sense of emotional safety and unconditional positive regard in a relationship that allows for examining painful experiences in one’s life.

The events since 2020 have presented incomprehensible challenges to our way of life, the way we think about the world, and the way we see ourselves in it. I provide services through a secure HIPAA-compliant telehealth platform with the goal of increasing access to support. Please reach out if I can help you through this difficult time!
