Men’s Counseling, Teen Therapy, Couples Counseling
Serving Baytown, Dayton, Mont Belvieu & the Greater Houston Area

Being strong doesn’t mean going it alone. If you're feeling overwhelmed by stress, disconnected in your relationships, or unsure how to express your emotions, you're not alone. Many men struggle with the pressure to "hold it all together"—at work, in relationships, and within themselves.

I’m Chris Ayala, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate at Resilient Mind Counseling and Coaching, offering therapy for men, couples, and teens in Baytown, Dayton, Mont Belvieu, and throughout Texas via online counseling. As a Marine Corps veteran, I bring a direct, grounded approach to therapy—helping clients build emotional resilience without compromising who they are.

Therapy for Men’s Mental Health & Personal Growth

Whether you’re dealing with burnout, relationship struggles, or feeling stuck in life, therapy can help you process emotions, reduce anxiety, improve confidence, and set healthy boundaries. My work focuses on helping men develop emotional regulation tools that are practical, clear, and strength-based.

Couples Counseling & Communication Support

Healthy relationships don’t happen by accident—they’re built through emotional safety, trust, and communication. I help couples work through conflict, emotional disconnection, and communication issues by focusing on what each partner truly needs to feel heard and respected. Whether you’re rebuilding after a breach of trust or just need help navigating life together, I provide a structured path forward.

Teen Counseling for Young Men

Teens often face intense internal pressure—from anxiety and school stress to identity and self-esteem challenges. I specialize in working with adolescent boys, helping them process emotions, navigate friendships, and develop tools for stress management and confidence.

My Approach
I use a solution-focused, practical approach rooted in real-life tools, direct feedback, and emotional clarity. I meet my clients where they are whether they need a space to decompress or a plan for moving forward. With a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and supervision from Kristin Walker, LPC-S, I offer therapy that is grounded, professional, and authentic.
