Mary Jo Ayllon, LPC, LCMHC

Mary Jo Ayllon is a licensed counselor with 12 years of clinical experience who works with individuals and families on a wide range of concerns. She holds the credentials LPC and LCMHC - Licensed Professional Counselor and Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor - and draws on that training to support people navigating anxiety, depression, grief, anger, trauma and abuse, OCD, ADHD, low self-esteem, stress, multicultural issues, and the challenges that come with major life changes. As a parent and a pastor's wife, she also brings lived experience to work with parenting struggles, spiritual concerns, and conflicts that arise within church communities.

Her therapeutic style aims to cultivate comfort, trust, motivation, and hope while remaining goal oriented and respectful of each person's pace. She individualizes treatment, adapting methods such as cognitive behavioral therapy, solution-focused techniques, and humanistic approaches to match clients' needs and goals. When clients request it, she is trained to offer a biblically integrative option that combines psychological tools with a Biblical worldview, helping people explore meaning, moral concerns, and spiritual resources alongside practical therapeutic work.

Mary Jo typically schedules sessions Monday through Friday in the mornings and early afternoons. Because she maintains a private practice calendar and avoids double booking, available times may not always appear online; prospective clients who do not see a suitable slot are encouraged to request scheduling assistance. She views beginning therapy as a courageous step toward restoration, and she welcomes the opportunity to walk alongside people pursuing healing and renewed well-being.
