Ayana Ainyette

Hi I'm Ayana a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with a Masters in Social Work from Rutgers University. My experience includes medical social work specifically with chronic kidney disease as well as working with DCPP. I've worked at Rutgers University School of Social Work as a counselor for college students aging out of DCP&P as well as a liaison for students in their social work field practicum. In addition I have experience providing in-home counseling to individuals as well as working at a local elementary school. I've

worked primarily with clients that have depression, anxiety, trauma.

My approach is a warm collaborative therapeutic process. I strive to create a welcoming environment where clients feel safe and comfortable to share how they are feeling. I

utilize the Strength Based Approach as well as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Mindfulness, in addition to other therapeutic techniques.

In our first session I'm curious to learn what brought you to therapy as well as working towards goals you would like to accomplish. This is a collaborative process we will explore together.
