Kayla Crawford
Hello and thanks for stopping by. Are you feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or emotionally exhausted? Maybe you find yourself overthinking your decisions, struggling to set boundaries, or repeating relationship patterns that leave you questioning yourself. You know that you want something different but you're unsure how to move forward. Whatever you're experiencing, you don't have to face it alone. I helped women understand how past experiences and relationship patterns may be showing up in their lives today. Imagine moving through your days with greater calm and clarity. Imagine feeling more confident in your decisions, more connected to yourself, and more comfortable showing up as your authentic self. Healing does not mean forgetting what happened or moving through it alone, it means having the support and tools to understand your experiences and create a new path forward. You don't have to navigate your healing journey by yourself. I am Kayla Crawford, a Licensed Mental Health Counselor. I am here to support you as you move from simply managing what you've been through toward greater understanding, healing, and meaningful change. I have a Master's degree in Counseling and Psychology. I come to you with over 18 years of experience in the mental health field. I have worked in outpatient and inpatient settings with at risk youth and families. I also worked alongside law enforcement during crisis to assist youth who struggled with suicidal ideations. My work is trauma informed, relational, somatic, and whole person focused. I recognize that you may intellectually understand your story but the body and your nervous system is still responding as if you are in the past.
I also utilize EMDR skills to assist you with decreasing your body sensations and triggers, while changing maladaptive beliefs into new adaptive beliefs.
First session
In our first session together, we will start with introductions and explore your strengths and challenges. We will then explore a quick snapshot of your history, so that I can began to learn what has happened to you past, and how it is impacting you as an adult. Together we will identify a plan to help you gain control over your symptoms while learning ways to give yourself grace for making it this far.
Strengths
I don't simply help you talk about what happened to you. I help you understand how those experiences may show up in your relationships, emotions, body, beliefs, and sense of self. I blend EMDR with parts work, attachment focused interventions, and somatic strategies to help connect the dots between your past experiences and present day struggles.
Ideal clients
I work best with women who have a pattern of unfortunate relationship experiences, such as domestic violence, sexual assaults and adults who had unfortunate childhood experiences. My clients often struggle with self doubts, feelings of guilt, low self-esteem, and feelings of hopelessness. Most of my clients struggle with getting over past experiences but want nothing more than a life of comfort and ease.
Treatment methods
EMDR
Using EMDR skills, I assist you with decreasing your current body sensations and triggers related to earlier experiences. I then continue to implement EMDR skills to assist with with creating a future plan, to address future challenges with similar symptoms and triggers.
