About Me:

AYANA J WILLIFORD, LMSW/LGSW

With over 20 years of dedicated practice in the field of social work, I bring a wealth of experience in providing direct mental health therapy to individuals across the lifespan. From my youngest client at age five to my eldest at 91, I have had the honor of walking alongside people at every stage of life, offering guidance, support, and a listening ear.

My therapeutic approach integrates Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Strength-Based Perspective, and Solution-Focused techniques. I believe deeply in empowering clients by recognizing their inherent strengths and helping them build on their existing resilience.

At the heart of my work is a sincere compassion for people and a genuine commitment to being a supportive presence on their journey. Whether someone is facing emotional challenges, navigating life transitions, or seeking personal growth, my goal is to provide a safe, respectful, and collaborative space for healing and hope.
