Couples therapists in Framingham, MA

Welcome to doing something important for yourself! I will bring to the table 30+ years of practice as a licensed mental health counselor with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology from Antioch University. I specialize in trauma informed care and am able to draw from a wide range of modalities.

I'm Catalina Robles-Ayala, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in New Jersey. I work with adults navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes. I offer therapy in both English and Spanish, and I welcome clients from all backgrounds. I believe that healing happens when you feel truly safe and understood.

My path into this work didn’t come from one place—it came from a deep curiosity about what truly helps people change.

Early on, I was trained to support others through talk therapy, and I saw how powerful it could be to be witnessed, understood, and held in difficult moments. But over time, I began to notice that insight alone wasn’t always enough. People could understand their patterns, yet still feel stuck.

That led me to explore the body—how we carry emotion, how we hold tension, and how healing often requires more than words. Through movement, breath, and presence, I saw people begin to shift in ways that felt more real, more lasting.

And still, something felt incomplete.

There was a deeper layer—something connected to meaning, to transition, to the parts of us that don’t always have language. As I followed that thread, I found myself drawn to ceremonial and shamanic practices that honor the unseen and help give shape to profound inner change.

The Threshold Process grew out of this journey.

It’s the integration of everything I’ve come to trust: that real transformation happens when we engage the mind, the body, and the deeper parts of ourselves—within a space that is intentional, grounded, and safe.

Hello, my name is Carolann and I am looking forward to working with you! As human beings, we experience peaks and valleys within our lives that may result in various experiences and feelings. When things are going well, we can feel happy, content, thankful, and even elated. When things are not going well, we can feel down, sad, overwhelmed, and alone. We all deserve to live with the most happiness possible within our lives, but life often brings with it enormous unwanted challenges that result in bringing us down. If you are not feeling emotionally/mentally well as you desire, I am here to help you!

I believe to live fully, we must feel. Intensely. Viscerally. Freely. To feel pride and pain, joy and frustration. To taste the freedoms of life, as well as its restraints. To reconcile thoughts, actions and emotions that are often at odds. To square all of this with culture, beliefs, and history. To live fully is when a sense of equity, equality and balance is awakened. To live fully is to gain perspective and know that you can weather all of it, and not be overcome by these complexities, but learn to integrate them, for a full life.
