Wayne Ayers
Psychologist, PhD
Psychotherapy can be challenging, but it is a rewarding process. Most people come in to discuss the problems in their lives. They often forget about what is going well, and what are their natural talents and abilities. I train and supervise psychologists at area hospitals. Because of this I am sensitive to ethical concerns: honesty, integrity and practicality. I strive to create a very kind and safe atmosphere where personal exploration is possible. Psychotherapy should be collaborative. I am active and vocal and give my clients ongoing feedback, inquiry and support.

Jason Powell
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT, CST
I work with individuals and couples navigating sexual concerns, infidelity, and shifts in trust, desire, or emotional closeness that leave relationships feeling strained or uncertain. Many still want intimacy and connection, but feel unsure how to move toward one another without repeating familiar patterns. Sessions focus on what unfolds between people in real time, with attention to responsiveness, clarity, and emotional presence.

It would be a privilege and an honor to accompany you on your mental health journey.
I'm a licensed psychologist with over 18 years in the field. I have expertise in the treatment of PTSD, trauma, and stress and in the understanding of veteran and military culture.

I also have extensive experience supporting veterans, first responders, and medical and mental health providers.

Stephanie Davis
Hypnotherapist, Cht
Your mind and body are deeply connected—and lasting change begins within. Hypnosis helps reprogram the subconscious mind, easing stress, releasing emotional blocks, and strengthening the mind-body connection. Research shows hypnosis can lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and support overall well-being. Every session is more than relaxation—it's an opportunity to heal, grow, and reconnect with your best self.

Staten Island's suburban character and strong Italian-American and Eastern European heritage shape a therapy culture that has historically carried some skepticism about mental health treatment, even as demand has grown substantially. The borough was among the hardest hit in New York City by the opioid epidemic, and therapists specializing in addiction recovery, grief, and trauma from loss remain a central part of the community's mental health infrastructure. Staten Island University Hospital provides institutional mental health resources, while private practices are concentrated in Stapleton, Todt Hill, and the North Shore. Many residents also access therapy in New Jersey or Manhattan, reflecting the borough's geographic position at the outer edge of the city.
