Kayla Acevedo

I support young adults, adults, and seniors navigating major life transitions using culturally responsive care. Additionally, I can provide support with anxiety, depression, and history of trauma/PTSD. I create a safe atmosphere in my sessions and hold a LGBTQ+ affirming space where you can explore these experiences at your own pace. We can use conversation, art making, or a mix of both. No artistic experience is needed. My goal is to help you better understand yourself, build trust in yourself, and find your voice that feels authentic to you.

Art therapy is at the heart of my practice. Sometimes it’s hard to find words for what you’re feeling, and making art can offer another way to explore it. I use drawing, painting, collage, and other creative approaches to help clients process emotions, notice patterns, and reconnect with parts of themselves they may have lost touch with. I also aim to make therapy accessible and offer a sliding-scale fee based on financial need when available .

During our first session, you can expect a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental space where we can begin getting to know one another. We will discuss what brought you to therapy, the challenges you are currently experiencing, your personal history, and what you hope to gain from our work together. Through collaboration we can tailor each session to your needs and goals. Creative expression is often part of the work and is introduced at a pace that feels safe and accessible. If you’re curious about using creativity as a pathway to healing or want therapy that feels more intuitive and collaborative, I invite you to reach out for a consultation.
