Hello! My name is Kayla and I am a licensed mental health therapist practicing virtually within the states of Florida and Massachusetts. I originally began my work as a therapist assisting kids, young adults, and families in Florida with referrals through DCFS, Medicaid, and Child Protection Services. I have since been working via telehealth to help adults and teens work toward their individualized therapeutic goals. I am devoted to helping others become the best version of themselves. I believe in a solution-focused approach involving active listening and compassion. Through the process, we will identify your specific goals and find the most practical techniques to achieve them; we are always in this together.

Am a Therapist with experience in intensive therapeutic interventions designed to stabilize individuals in crisis. Am a highly skilled, compassionate and empathetic professional with a solution-oriented viewpoint in providing exceptional care while implementing effective treatment and supportive plans for children, adolescents and adults experiencing or exposed to life’s tougher challenges/addictions. I have a demonstrated track record of success supporting people in learning new skills to manage and overcome social, emotional, psychological and addiction struggles. Finally, am comfortable working with a diverse selection of clients in one-on-one or group settings.

My name is Krystyna Ksiazek. I live in Massachusetts. I am a Licensed Mental Health Clinician. I have been practicing psychotherapy for 30 years (last 1.5 years at Grow therapy ). Seeing my clients succeed in therapy or their private lives adds meaning to my work. My area of interest is trauma, Complex-PTSD, Anxiety Spectrum Disorders such as Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder, Agoraphobia, phobias, Eating disorders, Depression, and Grief. Also, I have experience in the treatment of anger management problems, self-harm behaviors, and dissociative/split personality disorders. I like working with Young Adults, Adults, the Elderly, men, and women. I like to reach out beyond the traditional scope of therapeutic interventions to alternative medicine based on the homeostatic model of health. I want to help clients build self-confidence and optimism and empower them to face new challenges, grow, and succeed as they never imagined. I like to build therapeutic alliances with the clients and create an atmosphere where they know and feel that I am there for them and that I understand and support them. I do not mind spending more time with them if this is clinically necessary. Also, under exceptional circumstances, I allowed clients to contact me on the phone outside of therapy sessions to assist them in coping with extraordinary situations, guiding them when they struggle with using newly acquired skills. I came to the USA from Poland. I had to start "from the bottom". I have been through many ups and downs and painful personal losses, including my mother, friend, and boyfriend, but I never gave up. My resilience, optimism, and positive outlook did not allow me to accept failure. Contrary, it motivated me to try harder. Most of the time it worked.

I am a Licensed Independent Clinical Social Worker passionate about helping others realize their wholeness and healing through evidence based, trauma informed care. My background is in craniosacral therapy, somatic emotional release, and crisis intervention. I take a holistic person centered approach to therapy, which acknowledges that mental health is influenced by the interconnectedness of a person's physical health, emotional state, social connection and spiritual belief.

My path to becoming a psychotherapist grew out of personal experiences and a deep awareness of how mental health is often stigmatized in the communities and culture I grew up in. These experiences shaped my commitment to creating a safe, affirming space for healing. I value and honor the uniqueness that makes you who you are, and I strive to walk alongside you as you discover strength, clarity, and growth

It’s not uncommon to feel lost at times, especially when life feels like it's pulling you in all directions. If you’re looking to better understand yourself, your emotions, and the patterns that might be holding you back from living the life you want, I’m here to help. What I’ve learned in my years of therapy work is that lasting change only happens when there’s a genuine connection between client and therapist. That’s why I show up as my true, authentic self in every session. I create a space where you can feel safe, supported, and understood—no judgment, no pressure. Just a warm, inviting space for you to be yourself. I believe in being honest and transparent, which means I might gently challenge your perspectives and help you see where you might be getting in your own way. It’s not about criticism; it’s about growth, and I’ll always meet you with empathy and respect along the way. There may be times I fumble my words or forget what I am saying because I am human too. I understand that therapy can be intimidating or even awkward at times, and I embrace that with you. What matters is that we’re in this together. In our work together, you are in the driver's seat. You’ll guide us in the direction you want to go. Sometimes that will mean tackling external stressors like work, relationships, or family issues. Other times, it might mean diving into deeper, internal struggles—because often, once we work on strengthening our inner world, we can approach external challenges with more confidence and clarity. Whether you're looking to develop a healthier mindset, explore your emotions, or build more self-compassion, my focus will always be on supporting you as you take small, meaningful steps forward. We’ll celebrate even the smallest victories, because every win counts.

I have been a therapist for years, and have spent a great deal of time helping those who have experienced trauma.

I also love music and love to play the organ, piano, and guitar. I was a non-traditional student and received my bachelor's degree in Clinical Psychology in 1996 from East Stroudsburg University, then raised my own three children for a while. I returned to school and completed my master's degree in Social Work in 2020 from Capella University. I currently hold an LCSW in PA.

I bring something to individual and couples therapy that is rare today and not from a text book, that is lived experience. In drawing from different evidence based schools of thought in combination with my lived experiences we will employ such modalities of therapy such as Motivational Interviewing, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Emotionally Focused Couples Therapy. Adversity and struggle are situations that are common. The goal to avoid both would be ideal but that is not reality. Peace and calmness in the mist of adversity and struggle is a possible reality and what we will strive to help you achieve.

Making that first call to a therapist takes real courage, but you are worth it. I would be honored to be the one to support you in meeting your goals. I have a passion for working with adults 18+ who are struggling with life transitions, motivation, self-esteem, feeling connected to others, and finding their purpose. With 20+ years of counseling/social work experience, I know we can work together to build you up and support you in learning techniques to make life a little more manageable. My intention is to help you feel more in control of your life by cultivating self-awareness, processing emotions, problem-solving, and replacing unsupportive coping skills with healthier strategies. Together we explore and identify the underlying thoughts and emotions that drive these behaviors while working at your pace. Let me help guide you to find your strengths, embrace your innate resiliency, and reach your best you. With the combination of various healing processes, we will work together with respect and compassion to develop the tools to get you to where you want to be.
