Getting to know Kayla Wasserman
*This provider does not accept any Medicaid or Medicare plans*
My goal is to help you recognize patterns or tendencies that may be standing in the way of reaching your goals and thriving. I support clients in navigating life transitions, anxiety, depression, OCD, low self-esteem, relationship issues, and other challenges. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful narratives and beliefs that inhibit your growth and explore their origins to rewrite them with compassion. I believe mental well-being involves the mind, body, spirit, and community, and psychotherapy is a vital step in developing insight and coping skills to navigate life's challenges.
I create a warm and empathetic environment where you can be yourself. Friends describe me as bubbly and compassionate, reflecting my love for connection. In my free time, I enjoy figure drawing classes and engaging with the queer community, which brings joy and creativity to my life.
Whether you’re facing a challenge or seeking self-understanding, it’s never too early to start therapy. A strong therapeutic relationship fosters meaningful change. Seeking help is a sign of strength - you deserve support to thrive.

What should a new client know about working with you?
I work with adults and couples facing challenges like anxiety, depression, low self-esteem, OCD, and relationship issues. My clients seek to understand themselves better and challenge thoughts that hinder their goals. As a queer clinician, I enjoy supporting the LGBTQ+ community and creating a safe space for exploration and growth.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
In therapy with me, you can expect a warm, supportive environment that encourages deep self-reflection. My goal is to help you identify patterns that may be holding you back from achieving your goals or that feel self-destructive. We will explore the impact of your early relationships and experiences, uncovering the adaptations you’ve made to navigate past challenges—adaptations that may no longer serve you. This exploration fosters greater compassion and insight, empowering you to make intentional choices and break free from unhelpful patterns. My role is to support you in embracing the changes necessary to align with your true self and achieve your goals, paving the way for a more fulfilling life.
