Hi, I’m Kayla Stephenson (LCSW) and I am based in Brooklyn, New York. I believe the nature of therapy is an opportunity to center your true purpose and find meaningful direction. Awareness is at the root of every endeavor, which allows for a deeper understanding of what you need to feel empowered, connected, and safe in your body to lead the life you desire and deserve. I approach therapy from a place of curiosity, compassion, and humor to help you uncover the places where you feel most stuck in order to lead the life you desire. I have worked extensively with adolescents and adults navigating a range of challenges, including general life stressors and transitions, acute and ongoing traumas, social anxieties, and self-esteem and identity challenges.
My practice draws from elements of somatic, internal family systems and mindfulness based therapies. There is a magic to therapy if the therapist is present and capable of holding space- something special happens and healing is possible. I aim to bring an additional level of awareness to integrate the mind and body into the process to help you access the root of your suffering to feel empowered, liberated and embodied. I am currently completing the EMDR training through the EMDR institute and will be offering this form of treatment shortly. I believe we all have the capacity to lead a meaningful and vibrant life and I would be honored to support you on this journey.
