Getting to know Kayla Niba

I want my clients to feel welcome, comfortable, and truly seen. In my practice, you are the expert on yourself. My role is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be as honest as you’re ready to be. Together, we’ll explore your experiences and work toward meaningful change at your own pace.

What should a new client know about working with you?

I draw from a combination of evidence-based modalities, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and strengths-based counseling. I also integrate somatic skills and creative outlets like art to help process emotions in a way that feels natural to you. While we work on deepening insight and healing, I provide practical skills you can use right away to manage symptoms and navigate daily life. I am also trained in Trauma-Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, which allows adolescents and teens to heal from past traumas.

What is your typical process for working with clients?

I love working with people who are navigating life transitions, adjusting to change, or searching for where they belong in the world. Many of my clients experience anxiety, self-esteem challenges, or want to understand how past traumas affect them today. I am especially passionate about supporting marginalized communities and helping clients process the unique stresses of the current social and political climate. Clients often describe me as friendly and welcoming. I use humor to build connection and put people at ease, but I’m also warm, empathetic, and fully present when the conversation turns to deeper or more painful topics. Once trust is built, I’m comfortable being direct when it’s helpful and supportive.
