Getting to know Kayla Armstrong

I believe that life's challenges do not need to be experienced alone and that there is immense value in having someone by your side to support you. It is an honor and a privilege to be able to hold space with clients and to be present with them as they experience the hard and the heavy of life. My approach I prioritize the therapeutic relationship between client and therapist, and make tenants of compassion, empathy, gentleness, and warmth central to my work. I emphasize, honor, and acknowledge baby steps as being just as important as big steps, and believe they are just as vital to a client's therapeutic growth and change. My focus I primarily provide services to women across the lifespan and the LGBTQ+ community about a broad range of themes, including gender/sexuality/identity, family-of-origin relationships and romantic partnerships, and trauma processing/healing. I am trauma-informed, BIPOC allied, and LGBTQ+ affirming. My communication style I practice active listening and deep, reflective question asking. I am a grounded presence who believes in the importance of clients having a judgment-free therapeutic process. My journey to mental healthcare As someone with a deep calling toward helping relationships, I desired to enter a career field where I could be a steadfast support to others. Additionally, I was drawn to the way that conversation can be used as a tool for growth, change, and transformation. My goals for you All of my sessions are client-centered and adjusted to meet the needs of the individual. Whether you are looking to process present-day matters or historical issues, whether you are looking for action-oriented change filled with tools and solutions, I am flexible in my approach to honor what you need in the present moment. My first session with you I view the first session as an opportunity for the client and me to get to know each other.
