Layla Hendricks, LCSW

Layla is the best. Someone else said it best when they said “talking with her is like talking with a friend I’ve known for years.” I look forward to our sessions every week!

I have been working with Layla for a few weeks now. All I can say is wow. She was able to show me comfort and a safe space, that changed my views on therapy in general. She is wonderful!

Layla is INCREDIBLE. I’ve only had a handful of sessions with her so far, but I immediately (and continually) felt so comfortable with and welcomed by her. She is respectful, insightful, and extremely compassionate and understanding. I can’t say enough positive things about her! Definitely would recommend her without a doubt. She especially is talented in working with my anxieties and providing multiple perspectives and approaches to managing it. :)

I could write a book about how great of a therapist Layla is. To put it simply, I am a healthcare professional by trade. I hold myself to a higher standard than most and expect the same from other healthcare professionals. Safe to say, I do not trust many other healthcare professionals wholeheartedly. I have had to switch therapists a dozen times across multiple different platforms before finding Layla and I have to say, I am glad I kept trying because I almost gave up on therapy. Layla as a whole is a work of art. She is kind, passionate, gentle, but also not afraid to tell it as is. However the best part about her is that she treats me like an individual HUMAN; Not a number, and not a diagnosis; and based off my experience I can just tell that is the type of person she is with every person she encounters. I cannot recommend her enough, and from me, that is saying something.

This is my first go at therapy, and I chose BetterHelp due to my schedule and it’s been nothing but great! Layla has been very understanding and supportive! Although it’s early in my therapy journey, everything through Layla and the BetterHelp has been a great addition to my healing!

Layla is very sweet and personable. She’s truly helped me in a way I can’t explain. I haven’t been in therapy very long at all but she has really made a difference already.

Within 3 sessions I was feeling like a human again after a very traumatic experience that left me broken. Layla is compassionate, understanding, and truly listens. She gives tools and coping strategies. Made me feel that it was normal the way I was feeling. Helped me unpack trauma and deal with PTSD.

Layla is truly the best! I’ve had multiple therapist before her and honestly none of them even come close to her. She’s such a good listener and really focuses on your wants and needs. She’s changed my life for the better:)

I love how real and upfront Layla is! She tells it like it is, respectfully, and certainly has the greatest respect and advice a therapist can give. She is so down to earth and always make me feel at my most comfortable feeling to be able to talk to her about anything. I love how involved she is with my feelings and making sure that I am doing okay if she doesn't hear from me in a few days. I hope I can keep her as my therapist for a long time! I would hate to start from the beginning with someone else.

Layla has allowed me to feel comfortable enough to open up and speak freely about things that are going on in my life or just things that have been on my mind. I couldn't be more thankful to have Layla as my therapist and I look forward to speaking to her at every session!
