Our motto at Avila Life Counseling:
“Build a life of intentional purpose. Live a life you desire”

We live in a world where life can easily become a show… a performance. And the best performers make it look effortless. If you sneak a peek behind most people’s red velvet curtains, you’ll often find stress, worry, burnout, overwhelm, irritability, disconnection, guilt and shame, and depression. But “the show must go on”, right?

I say: “Eff. That!”. At Avila Life Counseling, we prioritize purpose, values, and intentionality. We believe you can HAVE it all without DOING it all.
Rather than always insisting that “the show must go on!”, it’s time to give up the show.

We need to start asking:
1. Is this part of me or part of the show?
2. Does this really need to go on; why am I really doing this?

During our work together, you’ll gain a deeper understanding of yourself, and learn to live with greater purpose and achieve more fulfillment.

You’ll be provided support, encouragement, and accountability from someone who believes in you.

You’ll learn simple and practical strategies to stay on track, overcome obstacles, and convert your “want-to’s” into actionable and achievable steps.

Most importantly, you WON’T be given solutions; rather you’ll be supported in solving your own problems. This sets you up for continued success no matter what challenges you face in the future and decreases the chances you’ll fall into the trap of needing counseling for the rest of your life.

Hi. I’m Dala Hemeyer.

Before we start our work together I want to take a few minutes to introduce myself.

First, the “boring stuff”. I have a Bachelor’s and Masters’s Degree in Social Work. My studies and work have been in mental health with expertise in treating trauma-related issues, and all things having to do with anxiety such as stress, overwhelm, perfectionism, and burnout.

My treatment method: Get in – Get out – Get on with life for good.

The goal for your counseling is for you to eventually fire me. Like… seriously. As much as I enjoy helping people and despite all the fun we have working together… and how sad it is for me when you move on, I really do celebrate the day you say: “We need to talk. I think we should break up. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve changed.” In the counseling world, that’s .
AND Nothing makes me more excited for you than when we dig in, devise a plan, and get you on your way.

I’m a firm believer that most of us already possess many of the tools and strategies we need to live the life we envision. Afterall, you’re already successful, and you didn’t achieve that by accident. But we all have blind spots, and an outside perspective from a trained professional can give you that last needed nudge to achieve absolute greatness. I’m not in the business of “fixing you” or “telling you what to do”. Rather, I prioritize partnering with you and supporting you in intentionally “living out” your values that support your higher purpose.

If you’d like to take a peek at what working with me will be like, Or if you have any questions or concerns that we need to take care of before our scheduled meeting, shoot me a text, email or phone call.

Hey ya!
Welcome to Avila Life Counseling, LLC.
I’m looking forward to working with you.

Counseling and Mindset Mentoring is a helpful way to develop yourself as a person, work through pivotal changes, or live a life in line with your desires.

I can’t think of a more powerful way to double down on ourselves than getting clear on our values and the behaviors that support them—and the crap that gets in the way.

I’m not in the business of “fixing you” or “telling you what to do”. Rather, I prioritize partnering with you, helping you intentionally “live out” your values that support your higher purpose.

When you come to session, you set the agenda, but I’ll focus our conversations. We’ll explore the strategies and support structures you need to succeed in reaching your goals, and together we’ll create a customized, systematic plan to help you live your desired life.

I can’t wait to get started!

Let me set the record straight: #1 I’m not in the business of “fixing you” or “telling you what to do”. Rather, I priori...

Let me set the record straight:

#1 I’m not in the business of “fixing you” or “telling you what to do”. Rather, I prioritize partnering with you and supporting you in intentionally “living out” the values that support your higher purpose.

#2 The goal for your therapy is for you to eventually fire me. Like… seriously. As much as I enjoy helping people and despite all the fun we have working together… and how sad it is for me when you move on, I really do celebrate the day you say: “We need to talk. I think we should break up. It’s not you, it’s me. I’ve changed.” In the therapy world, that’s .
AND Nothing makes me more excited for you than when we dig in, devise a plan, and get you on your way. Short and sweet… just like me 😉

#3 I’m a firm believer that most of us already possess many of the tools and strategies we need to live the life we envision. Afterall, you’re already successful, and you didn’t achieve that by accident. But we all have blind spots, and an outside perspective from a trained professional can give you that last needed nudge to achieve absolute greatness.

If you imagine a therapist, you probably picture someone in a cardigan and glasses, pen and notebook in hand, and a flat -emotionless- face.

And when I was a “baby therapist” this is what I imagined too. While well-intentioned, I kept all my emotions to myself and unfortunately came across as -at best- disinterested and -at worst- cold and uncaring. This was the farthest from the truth… I felt every emotion my clients shared with me. Unfortunately, my stuffy approach left clients feeling alone in their experience.

After 15 years of experience, I do things way -WAY- differently. And while I do were glasses and am partial to a cozy cardi (I LOVE sweater weather), I’m no longer that stuffy stereotypical therapist. We might cry together, or rage together… we will definitely laugh together. I will join you in your fear or frustration, and your joy and relief.

The relationship between a client and their therapist is certainly a unique one. Having a therapist that you vibe with is critical to your therapy success. So if it’s important to work with someone who is authentic and willing to experience your emotional journey WITH you (not just observe it) then hit that email button above and request your free consultation.
