Seda Ayata, LMHC

I approach each client in a flexible manner, tailoring my treatments to their emotional needs within the context of their presentation.
I’m a cognitive behavioral therapist specializing in anxiety, social anxiety, depression, relationship issues, life changes, and self-esteem problems.

I believe in creating a safe space for a collaborative therapeutic experience. I work with you to determine the best course of action and provide tools for individualized exploration and growth. My approach is flexible, individualized, and open-minded with a style that is nonjudgmental, easy-going, empathic, and honest. I work collaboratively with my clients to help them develop and work toward their goals. I approach each client in a flexible manner, tailoring my treatments to their emotional needs within the context of their presentation. My intake process involves some questions about my client’s experiences regarding what they’ve gone through. After identifying the presenting problem, I usually come up with a unique individual treatment plan. I like people in general so I can work with anyone from any cultural background.
I absolutely love and enjoy what I do. Since I was young, I listened to friends and loved ones and gave them emotional support, so going to school to become a therapist was only natural. I previously worked in different mental health settings, such as mental health clinics, private practice, and nonprofits.
