Whether I am working with a small child or an adult, I believe that the healing process is a journey of returning home to the authentic self with the therapeutic relationship as a vehicle supporting the exploration. My name is Kayla and I hope to walk along with you on this path, offering compassion, co-regulation, and some neuroscience education along the way. When we can lean into the understanding of our own neurobiology and how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors have come to be, we may also begin to explore where we may have gotten stuck and how we can have a renewed access to the wisdom and assets that our bodies possess.

I am a master’s level therapist working in Arizona. I am currently finishing a master’s degree in clinical mental health counseling. I hope to be graduated by fall of 2022. I am trained in various techniques that help with the resolution of emotional disturbances, trauma, anxiety, and depression. I utilize empirically based interventions for treating psychological disorders in individuals, families, and couples. The empirically based interventions that I use are cognitive behavioral therapy, dialectal behavioral therapy, and rational emotive behavioral therapy.

Dr. JW Webster
Pastoral Counselor, PhD, ThD
Whether you’re a millionaire or living under a bridge, everyday life situations can be a struggle. Daily coping skills are not a gift. Sometimes we need help and sometimes we need MORE help. I've been helping people for over 40 years and I've been counseling people for over 30 years. My time has been spent sharpening the skills of people all around the world. The training that I've received helps people become the best that they can be. Sometimes all we need is a little extra push or a nugget of information that will unlock the potential that has been hidden in us since the day of our birth.

During my experience as a Professional Counselor I have found that many people find comfort in my calming nature and my ability to explain and practice therapeutic techniques to reduce emotional discomfort such as anxiety, depression, frustration with focus, family or communication issues. I am exploration focused and enjoy using Existential Counseling and Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help my clients gain improved emotional comfort. I specialize primarily in grief and loss as well as anxiety disorders, but have helped people with many different types of emotional discomfort.

Do you barely remember life before the guilt? Find out how to be free and happy with who you are! Are you a woman exhausted from trying to managing what people think of you? Are you hiding how you feel or something you have done? Are you having an affair? Drinking again? Have you had an abortion and it still keeps you up at night? Are you jealous of your step-children? Resent your partner? Have everything and are still unhappy? Maybe you feel the secret is more than anyone could accept. So scared or trapped you can hardly breathe?

My desire is for people of all walks of life to find strength and hope in the midst of their storms. I am here to help you and your relationship Heal, Restore, and Learn. We do things and say things when we are hurt that many times we regret. Sometimes, we have a hard time accepting that we are hurt or that we have hurt others. The truth is that as humans we do not like pain, especially emotional pain; and we seek to distract, avenge or numb that pain. These efforts can become patterns and habits and some of these are blatantly wrong, but others may be more difficult to recognize.

As a Jungian analyst, I bring a depth perspective to our work. Maybe you find yourself at a crossroad in your life and don't know what path to take, or are feeling stuck, depressed or unsure what you are going. Or maybe you know where you want to go but can't see how to get there. You might be experiencing depression, anxiety, anger, hopelessness, or a lack of meaning in your life. Sometimes we need to talk to someone who listens and doesn't tell us what to do or think. We may need to try to put into words what we are thinking or feeling.

My approach to therapy is collaborative and relational. I'm truly interested in you as a person. My work is based on the assumption that all people have strengths and inner resources that can be accessed by asking creative questions that generate new possibilities. This enhances life choices, and develops stories that allow for new ways of being in the world. I draw on cognitive behavior therapy, social construction, narrative therapy, systems therapy, and mindfulness in counseling to support clients in meeting their goals. Somatic experiencing is another specialty area for me, working with the nervous system for healing.

Life is full of opposition, loss, and uncertainty. However, we are ALL complicated, unique AND RESILIENT beings! Many times feelings of helplessness can prevent us from reaching our full potential. Therapy is a collaborative relationship where two or more individuals work together to bring light to life's questions and unlock strengths we already hold inside... a judgement-free-environment to open up and explore new opportunities while healing and learning from life's challenges. Overcome negative self-beliefs while creating your desired reality... journeys that ultimately lead to a state of wellbeing and overall contentment. AKA Whole Person Happiness!

Is online therapy a good option?

To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
What type of therapist is right for me?
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist, psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.
Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors. Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.
What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
