Steven Ayers MSW, LCSW, IFS-Informed EMDR Trained

 At times, life can feel like standing on the edge of a cliff, carrying the weight of expectations, past pain, and the pressure to keep up. For many, that weight shows up as anxiety, depression, intrusive thoughts, or a quiet sense of hopelessness that feels impossible to escape.

My approach to therapy is about stepping back from that edge and finding solid ground on your terms. Therapy isn’t only about symptom relief- it’s about understanding your story, making sense of what’s shaped you, and building the tools to write your next chapter with clarity and confidence, together.

In a world that world can feel overwhelming, I offer a safe space where mental-health care is driven by informed choice, personal

agency, and authentic human connection, free from the limitations of one-size-fits-all systems, on your terms. 

My Therapy Style:

My goal is to create a space where you feel understood, supported, and empowered to make meaningful change at your own pace.

I specialize in PTSD, modern modalities such as IFS and EMDR, depression, reproductive challenges, and relationship issues, offering tailored support for both men and women. Each person’s experience is unique, which is why therapy with me is never one-size-fits-all.

Therapy is a partnership—together, we’ll identify practical tools and insights that help you move toward balance, fulfillment, and long-term growth.

About Me:

I focus on men’s and women’s mental health and reproductive distress therapy because these areas are often misunderstood and overlooked. By breaking down stigma and creating an inclusive space, I help clients feel seen, supported, and empowered to grow.

Over the years, I’ve worked with veterans, couples, families, and individuals across the country, learning that healing looks different for everyone. 

Using evidence-based techniques like EMDR, EMDR 2.0, IFS, and DBT, I guide clients toward resilience, self-understanding, and lasting change. Together, we’ll restore balance and uncover the tools that empower you to take control, both in therapy and beyond.

 I’m here to help you find freedom in your mental health journey. Based in Denver, Colorado, I offer in-person sessions, virtual therapy, and private-pay options for clients in Las Vegas, Nevada, and Southern New Hampshire.
