Kayla Smith

My clients describe me as:

A warm, welcoming, authentic human. Clients have said that sessions felt conversational.

Something to know about my approach is:

A bottom up approach. I bring awareness to body sensations, breathing patterns, and where emotions are landing in your body rather than focusing only on thought processes. I welcome your story, complexities, and authentic self.

Together, we will:

Bring attention to what's happening in your body at your pace or comfort level. Have some laughs. Work through your story. Perhaps discuss boundaries, communication, or anything else that might apply to your life.

I specialize in working with people who:

Struggle with a history of anxiety or trauma. Specifically those that feel disconnected from their bodies, feel their trauma doesn't fit in the "typical" trauma box, and people struggling to find their voice/identity.

I became a therapist because:

I fell in love with therapy work during my internship. I loved hearing people's stories and getting to walk alongside them on their healing journey.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

You can do therapy from your home. You have the flexibility of traveling within the states I'm licensed in (MI, MD, WV) for your sessions.

More about me and my practice:

I am the therapist, but you are the expert of your experience. You get to set the pace, tone, and goals for treatment. I am here to help support you live the life you want to live.
