Getting to know Kayla Butler

Hi there, I'm Kayla! My name is Kayla Butler. I am an LCSW practicing in California, with a Master's in Social Work from New York University. I take a warm, direct, and dynamic approach to therapy, exploring core beliefs, behavioral patterns, and somatic experiences impacting mental health. **My approach** I use a psychodynamic approach and incorporate skills from strength-based therapy, DBT, Mindfulness, Somatics, and ACT. **My focus** I specialize in working with adolescents, young adults, and adults navigating transitional life stages, self-esteem, anxiety, depression, PTSD, and self-harm. I am LGBTQ-aligned, body-positive, and trauma-informed. **My communication style** I create a safe, compassionate, and validating environment for clients to explore deep emotions, impact over intent, attachment ruptures, future thinking, and connection to one's body/self. I often begin sessions with a somatic meditation to help clients get centered. **My journey to mental healthcare** I've always been invested in helping others, listening, and creating a safe space for individuals to be authentic. I love partnering with clients in their healing journey, celebrating milestones, and being a steady presence in a chaotic world. I have worked with diverse populations, including children/adolescents, homeless individuals, those struggling with substance use/addiction, residential treatment, school-based social work, and emergency behavioral crisis services in hospitals. **My goals for you** When clients set goals, I support with validation, reality testing, and accountability. Goals can be fluid, focusing on emotional regulation and self-confidence, or concrete, measurable, and action-based. **My first session with you** In our first session, you can expect intentional relationship building and a safety assessment as we get to know each other.
