Great to meet you!

Hi, I’m Kayla Cunningham! I’m a Licensed Mental Health Counselor with 10 years of experience supporting teens and college students. I know school, friendships, family, and big life changes can get overwhelming. My style is laid-back, supportive, and judgment-free—a space to slow down, be honest, and sort through what you’re feeling. Whether you’re stressed, anxious, in transition, or just trying to take better care of yourself, I’m here to meet you where you are.

My approach to therapy

I believe a supportive relationship is everything. I take the time to really get to know you—what’s going on in your world, what brought you in, and what you’re hoping to change or understand better. My approach isn’t one-size-fits-all. I adjust to what you need, whether that’s help managing stress, navigating friendships, handling school pressure, or making big decisions. Together, we’ll create goals that feel realistic and actually doable for your life.

What you can expect from me

My hope is that you leave each session feeling a little more grounded and a little more at ease, with simple tools you can actually use in your day-to-day life. I want you to walk out feeling lighter, more balanced, and genuinely supported as you figure out what you need and what helps you feel your best. This is your space to grow, learn, and take care of your mental health in a way that fits you.
