What's keeping you from fully living your life? Are you stuck in a cycle of frustration because you keep doing the same things that don't work over and over again? Are your relationships troubled?

Combining years of professional training, with my unique perspective from life lessons and teachings from my roles as a wife, mother, daughter, sister and friend, I work with my clients to guide them through the minefields of anxiety, self-doubt, fear and distorted perceptions as they navigate the transitions and challenges of life.

Everyone deserves a safe and non-judgmental space where they can express themselves and receive unbiased and honest support. Grounded in empathy and curiosity we will work together to build your capacity to cope and care for yourself. With warmth and humor, I will provide an environment that encourages you to be kind to yourself. Especially when old and even new ways of coping don't always work like you'd want them to. In our time together, we’ll work to make sense of what is no longer serving you and in turn build new, healthy tools. From these conversations we’ll help you towards a deeper understanding and trust in yourself.

Kaila Dickstein
Psychologist, Psy, D

Every client and therapist pairing is different. Not every pairing will fit as well as others and the goal of every therapeutic relationship is for the therapist to act as a competent and supportive guide in navigating each client's map of unique challenges in life. I believe that the most important aspect of the relationship is the ability to be honest about the process--what works will differ for everyone. I aim to tailor treatment to each client so that he or she leaves the office feeling heard, understood and confident about the therapeutic journey.
