About Us
Ayla Ault, LCSW, MFTC
My therapeutic approach focuses on creating a caring and compassionate space for you to feel safe and understood. I utilize a strengths-based, humanistic approach to support you in overcoming the obstacles you're facing in your life. I'm certain you have the capability, and I'm honored to walk with you on your path to achieving your goals.
My Training
My passion for therapy and holistic approaches stems from an eclectic series of experiences with my own healing through Vipassana meditation, Buddhist teachings, Individual and Couples Therapy, as well as energetic and initiative experiences. I am late-diagnosed AuDHD and love learning more about this special interest. In my free time, I enjoy gardening, poetry, playing video games, and snuggling with my two cats, Ripley and Newt, whom clients sometimes catch a glimpse of during their teletherapy sessions.

Owner, Therapist
she/they
I help clients that feel stuck in anxiety spirals, burnt out from trying to do everything right, and unsure of who they are when they aren’t performing. By reconnecting to the parts of yourself that feel unacceptable, too much, or not enough, our work helps you understand what you’ve learned from the past and build new, authentic ways of relating to yourself and others. You’ll develop the confidence and self-trust to navigate life without abandoning yourself in the process.
In sessions, you’ll learn practical tools for daily life in combination with approaches that help tend to deeper emotions, beliefs, and experiences that may have shaped your sense of who you are and what you’re capable of.
My Training
My Specialties:
I specialize in working with LGBTQ+ and neurodivergent individuals. As a queer person with ADHD, I know the importance of having a therapist who understands the anxiety, relationships, and shame that can come with these experiences. You deserve a space where your identity is affirmed, your experiences are taken seriously, without having to educate your therapist.
My background also includes extensive, specialized experience working with teens (15+) and young adults, and the unique, modern day challenges navigating these ages. I know that parents are also navigating their own questions and emotions during these years, and can offer support, perspective, and helpful guidance. I also support clients navigating gender-affirming health care and can provide gender-affirming care letters as part of a collaborative and affirming therapeutic process.
Outside of being a therapist, I love to spend time outside and learn and try new things - whether that’s exploring a new park, trying new foods, or going down interesting rabbit holes online. I am always looking for new music recommendations - feel free to share your favorites and I promise to give them a listen!
