Hello and Welcome! Thank you for taking a few moments to read about me. My name is Kayla Kelly and I am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist in the state of California. I have over 6 years of experience working with children, adolescents and adults with varying backgrounds. I have worked with clients with a wide range of challenges including relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, parenting issues, motivation, self-esteem and confidence.
Reaching out for help is the most important step towards your path to healing and wholeness. I use a variety of therapeutic approaches that incorporate cognitive-behavioral and solution focused techniques. The most important aspect of my work with you will be to build a positive, trusting therapeutic relationship in which we can together work through whatever difficulties you may be facing. I believe in setting collaborative goals with my clients to help them with their areas of need, while also empowering them to use their strengths to overcome difficulties.
I am passionate about providing the most effective and compassionate therapy possible for the clients that I work with and greatly enjoy the honor of hearing people’s stories and walking along their path towards health and happiness. It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change.
It is important to note that this forum does not provide any type of emergency services, so I want to be sure you know who to contact if you need immediate help. Please call 1-800-273-TALK 24 hours a day or 911 should you feel in need of urgent help or if you are in crisis at any time during our work together
You are not alone. Things can and will get better. I'm really looking forward to working with you!
