Brian Ayer

I use a strength based; person centered approach in a collaborative manner to assist my clients to see HOPE as they face challenges in life. I have worked as a counselor for over 22 years in a variety of settings. These include outpatient community mental health, crisis services, corporate/workplace settings, working with military veterans and owning and operating a private Christian counseling practice. I also have experience in training law enforcement on how to better assist individuals in a mental health crisis,

My therapeutic approach is to meet clients where they are in life and provide support and counseling to help effectively address personal challenges. I also hold a bachelor’s degree from Ohio University in Exercise Science and aspire to educate people on how the use of exercise in the counseling process can positively impact mental health.

I work with my clients in a collaborative approach to allow them to leave each session seeing that they have been heard and validated and that there is HOPE in their journey. I encourage open and honest communication and emphasize that the client is the expert on themself.
