Cayco Effex is dedicated to helping individuals overcome mental health challenges and achieve a balanced state of well-being.

Guiding Principles:

At Cayco Effex LLC, we believe that change takes courage. As our Visionary Founder,
Constance E. Ash, often says, “If you want your thoughts to change, change the way you
think. If you want your feelings to change, change the way you feel. If you want your actions
to change, change the way you act.” 


Constance Ash, affectionately known as Connie Aye, is a Licensed Professional Counselor
(LPC-S), Psychotherapist, and Board-Certified Pre-Licensed Professional Counselor (PLPC)
Clinical Supervisor. Cayco Effex was established on June 15, 2020, in Monroe, Louisiana,
from Connie’s desire to create a mental health and wellness practice focused on
personalized care, free from the limitations of agency quotas. The name Cayco is a special
blend of Cadyn and Connie, representing a bond between mother and daughter and a
commitment to creating a legacy while empowering others.

Who Is (Connie Aye)?

With over 20 years of experience in mental health rehabilitation (MHR), Connie brings a
wealth of knowledge and dedication to her practice. Her passion lies in supporting black,
professional women and female college students (Gen-X, Millennials, and Gen-Z) as they
deconstruct mental health and mindset myths that exacerbate symptoms of anxiety,
burnout, depression, and stress. Connie’s goal is to equip them with actionable, practical
tools that are easy to use for reconstructing the learned generational thinking patterns that
prevent them from living authentically and unapologetically.


As a Mindset Change & Goal Setting Strategist, Connie helps participants reach the highest
version of their personal and professional selves. Her entire career is devoted to guiding
and empowering individuals as they set and achieve personal and wellness goals. Her
approach includes Mindset Change, Strategy, and Implementation. These improved mental
performances, adopting a growth mindset, overcoming self-limiting beliefs, and setting
SMART goals help individuals realize their potential while committing to living the life they
are purposed to live. 


Connie’s vibrant personality shines through in her work as a sought-after Empowerment
Speaker, Workshop Facilitator, Professional Development Trainer, and Mental Health
Business Consultant. She is a powerful high-results speaker with the experience and
framework to train individuals and teams in mental wellness and performance. Connie’s
goal is to be the simplest, yet most effective speaker/trainer to work with while providing
tools to live and work well. Connie's free spirit, coupled with her results-driven dedication
to advancing mental well-being, serves as a source of inspiration for all her collaborators.
Connie’s extensive background includes serving as Clinical Director and Business
