A Space to Heal, Hope, and Grow
Mental Health Therapy for Adults and Teens in Virginia, Washington, D.C., New Jersey, and Pennsylvania.
Ayana N. Short, LCSW
Life feels different lately, and you're not sure what’s next.
Maybe you’re getting over a breakup, adjusting after a recent move, feeling drained by work stressors, or navigating the loss of someone or something that mattered to you. Even if things look okay on the outside, it doesn’t quite feel that way inside.

I’m Ayana, a licensed therapist who supports teens and adults through the hard, in-between moments of life. I help people work through relationship struggles, big life changes, and the kind of stress that builds up at work or with peers. My style is warm, honest, and supportive, with a focus on what you need to feel more grounded and clear.
I work with private-pay and insurance clients in VA, DC, NJ, and PA who want therapy that’s supportive, real, and focused on their actual lives.
My Approach
We’ll talk about what’s happening now, what happened in the past, and how it all shows up today in your relationships, your work, and how you feel about yourself. Whatever has been weighing on you, we’ll sort through it together and figure out what comes next.
You don't have to keep things bottled up or stay in a cycle of dysfunctional relationships.
Let’s talk about what’s next— for your career, your relationships, and you.
