About Aylah
I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor providing virtual therapy services to clients in New York, Florida, and Maine. After obtaining my Bachelor’s Degree in Social Welfare from the University of Wisconsin-Madison, I went on to get my Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from SUNY Oswego, with the goal of helping people work through blocks toward the best versions of themselves. But beyond my degrees, it’s my lived experience which has led me down this path that most closely informs my work today.
My parents divorced when I was very young, and I grew up navigating two homes with vastly different parenting styles. This experience gave me firsthand insight into family dynamics, life transitions, and, later, the process of identity exploration. I also grew up with a younger sibling with autism, which inspired one of my specialties: working with neurodivergent individuals.
I believe that everyone has the potential to heal and self-actualize, and it is an honor and privilege to watch people transform. While I have a range of specialties, I enjoy working with people from all walks of life. If you are self-motivated and ready to embrace change, it would be my privilege to support you on your journey.
My Style
I like to meet people in the here-and-now. While the past influences our current behaviors, the present moment is the only place we can begin. I use a person-centered and psychodynamic approach to assist individuals in understanding their deep-rooted patterns.

I am licensed to provide virtual therapy in New York, Florida, and Maine (https://flhealthsource.gov/telehealth/). I conduct sessions via Google Meet, a HIPAA-compliant platform that requires a stable internet connection. Research indicates that virtual therapy is just as effective as in-person therapy, and its advantages around accessibility and convenience can make it a preferred form for many.

I am an out-of-network provider, which means I do not accept insurance. In an effort to continue to make therapy accessible and affordable, I offer courtesy billing for out-of-network benefits at no added cost to you. While I am not an in-network provider with your insurance company, I am able to tap into any out-of-network coverage you may have and submit claims on your behalf.
