Men’s, Teen, & Couples Counseling
Being strong doesn’t mean handling everything alone. Whether you're struggling with stress, feeling stuck in relationships, or trying to make sense of life’s pressures, it’s okay to reach out for support. Many men search for answers, wondering:
How do I deal with stress without shutting down?
Why do I feel so disconnected, even when I have people around me?
How do I communicate better without getting frustrated?
What’s the best way to deal with burnout?
How can I be a better partner without feeling like I have to change everything?
If these questions sound familiar, you’re not alone. Many men struggle with emotional stress, relationship challenges, and finding a sense of balance between personal and professional life. Working with a therapist who understands these challenges can make a difference.
I’m Chris Ayala, a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate under the supervision of Kristin Walker, LPC-S at Resilient Mind Counseling and Coaching PLLC. My work focuses on:
Men’s Mental Health & Personal Growth
Men often feel pressure to stay strong, push through stress, and suppress emotions. But stress, anxiety, relationship struggles, and burnout don’t go away on their own. Therapy can help you manage stress, set boundaries, improve confidence, and build emotional resilience without feeling like you have to change who you are.
Couples Counseling & Communication
Relationships can be complicated, especially when communication breaks down. Whether you’re struggling with conflict, feeling emotionally disconnected, or trying to rebuild trust, therapy provides a space to learn effective communication skills, rebuild emotional intimacy, and strengthen your relationship in a way that feels authentic to you.
Teen Therapy
Adolescence is a time of change, and many young men struggle with identity, self-confidence, and emotional regulation. Whether your teen is dealing with anxiety, school stress, or personal challenges, I provide a safe space for them to express themselves and develop healthy coping strategies.
As a Marine Corps veteran, I understand the importance of mental and emotional resilience in overcoming life’s challenges. My approach to therapy is direct, practical, and solution-focused, helping you gain clarity, develop real strategies, and take meaningful steps forward.
I hold a Master’s Degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and am under the supervision of Kristin Walker, LPC-S, ensuring that my work is grounded in professional expertise and best practices.
