Therapists in West Springfield, MA

Hi! I am Kayley and I have been a therapist for over 6 years working with children, Adolscents, adults, couples and families. My goal is to create a calm and supportive environment to work with you, at your pace, towards your goals you want to accomplish! I work to create an environment where everyone can feel heard and validated amd be supported into working on the goals you want to achieve. I specialize in working with children, adolescents, young adult and adult populations, mostly in an individual setting.

Welcome! It takes courage, leaderships and hopes to change. Recovering from ups and downs in a competitive and changing world needs positive understanding of all aspects-information, perseverance, resolve, skills, strategies, resources and balance moving forward. I am committed to meeting where you are, working together to develop new personal life assets for wellness and health, and face challenges or recovering from personal, cultural and institutional challenges. My guest deserves the full ownership, respect and dignity for the success as s/he dreams it. I will be honored to work with you.

My primary focus is building a genuine connection and individualizing my approach to each person’s specific needs. I have always believed that it is important to celebrate small and big wins in life. I work hard to meet clients where they are at and together, work to develop goals for best outcomes. I utilize many forms of therapy, including but not limited to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy and Motivational Interviewing all from a trauma informed lens. I enjoy working with all ages, especially those who identify as neurodivergent, those with disabilities, anxiety, depression and trauma.

Sometimes going through the demands of life on our own is overwhelming and it has been shown support can help us overcome these challenges. That is where we come together, to work through those traumatic experiences collaboratively. Together, we will identify behavioral patterns of the past that have worked for you and those that are no longer serving you. Together, we will explore feelings that rise inside you and learn to identify the links they have to your thoughts and how you react and respond in situations. Together, we will work on building a more positive narrative that motivates you to make the changes you want to see.

For young children, behavior is a way to communicate needs. When complex emotions arise through challenging behaviors, parents may be left feeling unsure how to respond. Does your child seem overly anxious? Are they highly distressed when separated from you or more withdrawn than you'd expect? Maybe they've experienced a traumatic or scary event, a significant loss, or you’d like to prepare them for a family life change. Are you an adoptive or foster family wanting help with bonding and building secure attachment? Do you hope to gain clearer insight into your child’s needs and support them through a stressful time?

Currently- limited availability for daytime sessions: in person and virtual I enjoy supporting adults with navigating life changes, anxiety, social, racial, and cultural challenges. I have experience working with multigenerational families and enjoy working with expecting/ new parents and supporting the parent-child dyad. I am also experienced in providing reflective supervision, consultation and career coaching.

Not accepting new clients at this time. If you are reading this, you or a loved one must be hurting. I know you have all the tools you need to find joy and purpose in life. We can work together to find the person you're ready to be. I am a compassionate, humanistic, person-centered therapist. I have been a practicing counselor for over ten years, and in that time I have come to learn that people need to experience a therapist who has genuineness, empathy, and unconditional positive regard.

I'm a Spanish-speaking therapist who works with children, youth, and adults. I offer services in Massachusetts and Florida. I firmly believe that, before any other role, we all are vulnerable human beings with the ability to continue growing and changing. Starting therapy could open old wounds, awaken memories, and make you feel ashamed. Initially, it can be a heavy process. I understand that transparency, respect, and collaboration are fundamental. Yes, collaboration is key, but when fulfillment and growth occur, you're going to be at the point where you don't need me anymore. And that's another kind of personal success!
