Kayla Szykowny

Life can sometimes feel like you're living beneath a sky full of dark clouds—overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by stress and burnout, or questioning your own worth. You don't have to navigate those seasons alone.

I'm Kayla Szykowny, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 13 years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and low self-esteem. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.

My approach combines the depth of traditional talk therapy with practical, skills-based learning rooted in evidence-based treatment approaches. Together, we'll not only explore your experiences and gain insight into the patterns that keep you feeling stuck, but we'll also learn and practice concrete tools you can begin using in your everyday life. I believe that lasting growth happens when understanding is paired with action.

During our first few sessions, we'll spend time getting to know one another, exploring what has brought you to therapy, and developing a personalized treatment plan that reflects your goals, strengths, and needs. Therapy is a collaborative process, and I want you to feel like an active partner in your care every step of the way.

What makes my practice unique is the balance between processing life's challenges and actively building new skills. Rather than simply talking through problems, our sessions are designed to help you leave with practical strategies, increased confidence, and a growing sense of resilience.

I'm passionate about this work because I've seen firsthand that even the darkest seasons don't last forever. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of walking alongside hundreds of individuals as they've rediscovered hope, regained confidence, and found their way toward brighter days. My hope is to help you do the same.
