Ayanna Blue Therapy
My Mission
I am a trauma-informed and relational therapist working with individuals and groups to navigate complex trauma, systemic and intergenerational trauma, systemic environmental stress, identity formation, life span and development changes, and self-actualization.
My Vision
Everyone deserves the right to the life they desire, free from systemic forces that stifle a soul’s mission. I want people to be free, liberated, and self-directed toward their version of life that is fulfilling, rewarding, and soft.
My Work
As a therapist, artist, educator, facilitator, and speaker, my work is an invitation to grace, softness, and fierce pursuit of understanding personal truth. I leverage my experience in mental health, performance studies, the arts, education, and self-development to create strategies that guide you to the unknown places. You will build more capacity for what can be, thoughtfully holding possibilities, processes, and the promise of healing.
ABOUT AYANNA BLUE THERAPY
I help you develop holistic tools to support a life of health and wellness that works toward embodiment, not perfection.

WHY AM I A THERAPIST?
I am a midlife second-career therapist with a background in lived experience and the arts. My desire to become a therapist comes directly from lived experience, the struggles of my own healing journey, and the realization that I have always been a helper by nature. A twice breast cancer survivor, I have navigated complex trauma and various challenges of life. I have walked the walk and continue to be curious about how to lead my most embodied life.
A PERSONAL TIDBIT
In my downtime, I value rest and time with loved ones. I have a creative spirit and love all things creative. I am always deep in a home interior design project, resisting the temptation to buy another plant, and brainstorming about hosting my next party or planning a vacation. I am blessed to be in community with so many beautiful souls. At this stage of my life as a mother and wife, I am constantly reinventing what it means to stay true to myself.
WHAT CAN YOU EXPECT IN THE THERAPY ROOM?

Therapy
1
Individual
In individual therapy sessions, I work with individuals across the adult lifespan who are navigating life stage and development transitions, complex trauma, systemic burnout, relational and attachment trauma, identity shifts, systemic distress, and intersectionality. I specialize in providing empathic and relational care that conceptualizes the holistic person and their lived experience. We work collaboratively to discover and birth more capacity and coping mechanisms that help transcend and cultivate transformational self-awareness and address areas of maladaptive concern.
2
Group
I work with groups in a specialized, focused area to address a collective concern. The group model allows for individuals to process through the individual and collective experience while relational discovery and learning take place. Groups meet weekly for a specific time frame, and group dynamics are essential to the healing and transformation process.
3
EMDR
I work with individuals to address trauma through the specialized technique of EMDR (Eye Movement Desistizing Reprocessing Technique). We collaborate on an individualized treatment plan to address your specific concerns.
Coaching & Wellness
1
Individual
I work with individuals to co-create a strategic plan to reach their goals and objectives for personal and professional growth. Through a detailed inquiry, we will identify your barriers, gain clarity about your vision, and identify your strengths so that you can achieve your goals with confidence and embodiment. We will tailor a coaching program that is detail-oriented to your needs and provides timely accountability towards your growth and progress.

Group Coaching /
Affinity Groups
Group coaching thrives off the community dynamic by allowing members to thrive in a supportive, collaborative environment to strengthen skills and gain confidence to work toward shared and individual goals. A collaborative, immersive process allows individuals to work within a group accountability and track progress together toward identified goals and vision. Members co-collaborate on problem-solving and strategy toward solving collective problems, build community, and discover shared reality. Members value collective input and activate teamwork for transformation.
3
Creatives
In my coaching for creatives, I utilize a stylized approach that specifically addresses the unique concerns creatives face with mental health, wellness, and work/life balance. I work with you to uncover a full audit of your work/life balance, weave in your personal lived experiences, and create a strategic, uniquely designed blueprint for your wellbeing. We work through the unique challenges creatives face, engage the themes through a liberatory and anti-systems lens to create balanced authenticity in your life that embraces intersectionality and multi-hyphenate identities. I guide you to your intuitive voice and back home to the self that makes you uniquely you; your one-of-one capability.
