Are you ready to be happy, content and in love with yourself? I am here to help you achieve your goals as a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have a bachelors degree in Kinesiology, of which is the study of human movement (sports medicine) from the University of Washington. I also have a Masters degree in Psychology from Antioch University Seattle, WA. My additional credentials include the following: certified clinical supervisor, minority mental health specialist, and certified grief recovery counselor. I’m passionate about providing quality mental health care to my clients.

Since many clients feel a sense of "disloyalty" when seeking help for family issues, include a line like: "Seeking support isn't about being 'disloyal'—it's about being healthy." Do you feel like you’re "managing" your parent instead of having a relationship with them? Body: For many adult children of narcissistic parents, every phone call feels like a tactical mission. You’re constantly scanning for "mood shifts," choosing your words with extreme caution, and dealing with a hangover of guilt long after the conversation ends. It’s exhausting to be the only one trying to keep the peace. I help clients move out of "survival mode" and into a place of emotional autonomy.

Dawn Conroy

Dawn Conroy

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


With 34 years as a Licensed Clinical Social Worker, I've walked alongside people through some of the heaviest chapters of life — chronic illness, grief, trauma, and the kind of relationship pain that makes you question your own judgment. I earned my MSW at the University of Michigan and have spent three decades learning what actually helps people move forward.

I work exclusively via telehealth for adults and older adults in Michigan and Arizona. One thing I want you to know: I will never use AI to record our sessions. What you share with me stays between us.

A former client described working with me as "the right mix of supportive and challenging." I think that's what honest, effective therapy looks like — not just validation, but real engagement with where you want to go.

Daed Ayala

Daed Ayala

Therapist

Virtual • Arizona


I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Phoenix. I

work with children, adolescents, and adults in

English or in Spanish.

I believe therapy works best when it feels like a

partnership — we'll work together to understand

what's going on, identify what's getting in the way,

and find practical tools that help you move

forward. Whether you're dealing with anxiety,

depression, stress, life changes, or the effects of

past experiences, my goal is to help you build

confidence and strengthen coping skills.

I've worked in inpatient, outpatient, and nonprofit

settings, and I especially enjoy working with

children and adolescents. My hope is that therapy

feels like a place where you can show up as you

are and leave each session with something

meaningful to take with you.
