Kayla Edwards, LPC — Therapist in Pennsylvania

Hi there, I'm Kayla!

I'm a therapist dedicated to helping humans, semi-humans, and everyone in between work through stress, anxiety, and perhaps the existential dread that tends to creep up on us at 3 AM lol. Taking the first step to sign up for therapy can take courage, and I am proud of you for getting started.

My focus

I have found that my style and approach work well with Codependency, Communication problems, Dependent personality, Forgiveness, Guilt and shame, Polyamory / non-monogamous relationships.

My approach

Each individual is different; therefore should not be subject to a one-size-fits-all approach. Due to unique situations one might face, therapy should be individualized and tailored to meet the person's needs. Once we decide to work together, we form a team that builds rapport and begins the journey called therapy.

My communication style

My communication style is a calm, safe, and confident environment with a warm and empathic tone. A nonjudgmental, accepting, and encouraging atmosphere.

My journey to mental healthcare

I always find this to be a big question, lol, but what attracted me to begin my career as a therapist was the fact that human beings can come together as a team to connect and figure out together what challenges we can possibly overcome.

My goals for you

With goal setting, I utilize a client-centered approach, open communication, and exploration of motivations and desires to achieve while in therapy.

Our first session

When initially meeting, I allow this time for you to share your story and what you would like to achieve while in therapy. You may find that you have overshared in the first five minutes. I got you, and this is totally normal. The hope is to achieve a warm, safe, inviting environment where we as a team work together to make your goals a reality.
