Hi there! My name is Kayla Deep, and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping people experience more peace, emotional regulation, and confidence. The stories we tell ourselves about our lives are very powerful. By identifying the narratives that are empowering us and the ones that are causing us harm, we can choose to write a new story, one where we are our most authentic selves.
I believe that we are best capable of change when we fully accept ourselves as we are. I aim to create an environment conducive to growth with a warm and affirming presence. You are the expert of your experience, and I am here to help reflect your wisdom back to you.
Creating a warm and empowering environment to process your stressors is important to me. I will ask you about specific mental health goals you have, and we will collaborate on a plan for how to reach them. I am a big fan of incorporating Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) into sessions to help you learn skills to tolerate distress from life's many curveballs. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy. This evidence-based method is extremely effective at helping people reprocess trauma and turn negative beliefs into positive ones. Whatever approach we use will be tailored to your individual needs and goals, changing and evolving as you change and evolve!
