This isn't therapy.
It's Paáyo. 

Nonclinical emotional and relational support for youth, young adults, and caregivers.

​

Virtual. Accessible. Non-clinical.

What We Offer

Paàyo provides structured, nonclinical support focused on emotional regulation, communication, boundaries, and relational repair.

​

This work supports people in strengthening how they respond to stress, navigate relationships, and make sense of emotional experiences without entering clinical treatment. Sessions are practical, grounded, and focused on skills that support steadier functioning over time.

​

Paàyo does not diagnose, provide psychotherapy, or offer crisis services. The work is designed to complement therapy or stand on its own when clinical care is not the right fit.

Services

Youth & Young Adults

Support focused on emotional regulation, identity development, communication skills, and navigating relationships and transitions.

Caregivers

Support that strengthens adult responses, emotional understanding, and communication while reducing overwhelm and burnout.

Schools & Organizations

Non-clinical training and consultation that supports staff practice, consistency, and sustainable responses to stress-related behavior.

Paáyo Fits With Therapy

Paàyo sits alongside clinical mental health care.

​

We do not diagnose, provide psychotherapy, prescribe medication, or offer crisis intervention. Many people work with Paàyo while also working with a therapist. Others come to Paàyo as a first step or as skills-focused support when therapy is not the right fit.

​

When a different or higher level of care is needed, we name that clearly and help identify appropriate next steps.

Getting Started

The first step is a consult. We talk through what you are looking for and determine whether Paàyo is the right fit. If it is, we recommend a starting point. If another type of support would serve you better, we will say that clearly.
