On the outside, it looks like you’ve got it all figured out, but beneath the surface, it's getting harder and harder to keep things together. You have dreams of the life that could be, but worry, stress, and self-criticism hold you back. You do so much for your career and your relationships, but always wonder if it’s enough. You wonder if YOU are enough. You’ve probably said to yourself, “I don’t NEED therapy, but…”, or “I should be able to deal with this on my own.” Let me assure you that whatever you’re going through, not only is it okay to ask for help, but it just may be the best step you can take toward living your best life!

In 2021, we at Kayla’s Place believe that it’s time to move away from what grandma’s idea of what therapy is and change the trajectory of therapy in Minority communities. For so many years, BIPOC individuals have gone without care as a result of homegrown mistrust for therapy and therapists. But we are here to explore those ideas and assist in the growth and development of née ideas. If you are looking for an introduction to therapy or if you’ve been to a therapist for the last 10 years, there is a space for you at Kayla’s Place! ***Kayla’s Place is committed to serving every person who needs it, no matter their demographics.***

There can be much misunderstanding about what therapy is, who it is for, and how it can help. However, this is not the experience of therapy you will find at Harvest House or with me. We endeavor to make the experience of therapy always respectful, empowering, and challenging. We understand that therapists are facilitators, loaded with knowledge, training, and insight, and deeply human. Therapy is for anyone who is willing to hold themselves, their loved ones, and their own therapist accountable for their life's journey.

Graduated from Brown University in 1987, BA, Women's Studies. I have been a practicing master's level social worker for 25 years. For over 15 of those, I have been doing psychotherapy. During the last 9 years, I have worked for the well-regarded practice of Bick Wanck MD & Associates, offices in Saratoga Springs and in the Capital Region of NY. Over the years, I have worked with a broad range of clients. If you are feeling stressed, anxious, or depressed I can help. If you just want someone to talk to, I can listen. I specialize in couples counseling, chronic pain/illness, Bipolar, and issues effecting the LGBTQ community.

As a therapist, I help people come to terms with their emotions and situations that interfere with their being satisfied with who they are. I believe that most people have been traumatized by both their childhoods and the stresses of modern life. Many people are anxious, depressed, unable to be happy with their life partners, and certainly unable to cope with the illnesses that befall them. I am very successful treating couples of various persuasions who are having problems that are resolvable and individuals who need to feel more confident and less tortured. We need to talk with each other to understand what is going on.

Suffering with stress, anxiety or grief? If you want to feel better, please feel free to contact me, if I can not help you, I will help you with finding someone who can. Life is too short to suffer.

As a therapist, I prioritize getting to know the whole person and deeply value the unique relationship that grows within the therapeutic space. I have a special interest in the Queer community and work from a feminist, body positive orientation. My experience includes an array of settings and treatment modalities from eating disorders, intimate partner violence, intensive in-home family therapy to career counseling.

I specialize in working with couples, marriages, and families. I aim to increase healthier communication, understanding and on building a stronger connection, beginning from the first therapy session. I provide psychotherapy without judgement or blame, in a supportive, empathic and caring environment. I work with individuals, couples and families of diverse backgrounds, ages and sexual orientations. I look to empower people and to help them tap into their inner resources, to develop coping strategies to manage stressful situations, and to find solutions to their relational challenges.

Have you been wanting to make meaningful changes in your life but feel hesitant to start therapy? I know how courageous making this move is, and provide a relaxed, supportive atmosphere as you explore your emotional life. I partner with you to identify your goals for personal growth. Together we create a safe space for you to clarify patterns of behavior and thinking that may be bogging you down. We can look at repeated sources of disappointment or dissatisfaction so that you can grow away from them and into a more vibrant relation to yourself, others, and the world.

Has your life taken a sharp, unexpected turn at a terrible time? Or maybe you just feel yourself drifting off the path you're traveling and are having difficulty getting back on track. Your vision may be cloudy and that can intensify the amount of distress you feel in your pursuit to returning to your previous level of functioning. What can be even scarier is not knowing when exactly you lost control of the steering wheel or who to rely on in your time of need.

I am currently offering a free consultation for my services. Licensed in NY and NJ. Are you ready to make a change in your life? It takes courage to ask for help, but the rewards of doing so can lead to a lifetime of fulfillment. I understand and have experienced the emotional challenges life has to offer.

Ultimately, therapy can lead you to greater self-awareness, self-esteem, and most importantly, a more fulfilling life.
