“2 sessions in with her and already has shared some good insight and made me feel like this will be a good provider/patient relationship ”
Abe S.August 30, 2023Video visit
“I've been working with Kayla for a few months now. She's extremely kind, empathetic, adaptable and intuitive. During my sessions there is a large emphasis on mindfulness, listening to yourself, your intuitions, your body, and making space for totally normal emotions and feelings that people often try to avoid. She's been instrumental in helping me achieve my goals and reframe my negative way of thinking, to see all that I am capable of. I would absolutely recommend her services.”

Getting to know Kayla Stephenson
Disclaimer: Providers at Canino Psychotherapy focus on therapy services and do not prescribe medication, as they are not psychiatrists.
My clinical work focuses on healing wounds of trauma, utilizing cognitive behavioral practices to address depression and anxiety, and incorporating mindfulness skills to cultivate awareness, compassion, and grace, helping reduce suffering and embrace a more fulfilled life. I hold a Master's in Social Work from City University of New York, Hunter College, and a Bachelor's degree from Saint Michael's College. My social work training, clinical knowledge, and agency-based background provide me with a perspective that views micro experiences and situations through a macro or systemic lens.
What should a new client know about working with you?
As a therapist, I am warm, open and encouraging, and aim to be a bridge to create a line of tools that can help a person embody their true, authentic selves and then incorporate that mission into the rest of their lives. With my healing-centered approach, I hope to guide folks to a space of perspective and ease, to gain clarity to cut through the noise, and to develop a fearlessly compassionate attitude towards one’s own pain.
*Please kindly note that we do not provide psychiatry services (medication) and are unable to accept Medicaid insurance plans at this time.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
With openness and consistency, I hope to create space for folks to identify strengths, explore freedom and reconnect to truth. I hope people leave feeling grounded, connected to their purpose, and compelled to practice kindness towards themselves. I am invested in supporting people as they navigate their pathways towards clarity and ease.

Incredilbly kind and empathetic. I feel like I'm being listened to and being assessed appropriately. I also feel that the provider is actually present during appointments which is something that can be lacking with other providers, in my experience. I look forward to returning.
