Intro

Welcome and thank you for taking the time to learn more about me. My name is Ayesha and I am a mental health counselor licensed in Virginia who enjoys assisting people in navigating life challenges. I have over 15 years experience working in the mental health field, and I will bring my authentic self to sessions to assist you in finding your authentic way.

What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I have been working with autistic community throughout my 15 years experience. I enjoy working with  neurodivergent and autistic individuals because they often bring fresh perspectives, innovative approaches to problem-solving, strong focus on details and a unique way of thinking to the table in a world that does not appreciate it. It is a beautiful partnership!

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

I appreciate the way neurodiverse and autistic individuals think and see the world differently and I find joy in assisting them to find and build on their unique strengths in order to find their authentic self. To also celebrate their way of thinking and not hide or mask who they are to others.
