Getting to know Kayla Kalsky

If you’ve spent years being the peacekeeper, felt responsible for others, or learned to hide your own needs—therapy can feel like a deep exhale. I support adults navigating anxiety, past trauma, intimacy, relationship challenges and transitions. Change is not an easy thing to achieve alone. If you feel stuck, overwhelmed, disconnected, or unsure of where to go next, we may be a great fit! I hold dual degrees in Counseling Psychology from Columbia University and advanced experience with ADHD and attachment. My approach is relational and collaborative to help you understand why certain patterns show up—and how to gently “rewire” them so you can feel more grounded, confident, and in control of your life.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I specialize in trauma, relationship/attachment concerns, ADHD, and anxiety. Sessions are engaging, conversational, insightful and open to all topics. I believe authenticity and genuineness are important in the therapeutic relationship.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

Finding a therapist you connect with is hard. I often work with couples, therapists, entrepreneurs, creatives, and individuals whose paths don't feel like they align with traditional expectations. I look forward to starting our work together!

Therapy with Kayla is validating, supportive and empowering. She models full acceptance of difficult feelings, and asks the right questions to facilitate self reflection, healing and growth. I cannot recommend her more!
