Hello. I look forward to working with you. My own background is one of growing up on farms, having little money and ambitious dreams. I did not know what it was but I knew I wanted to go to college and get out of the tobacco fields around me. My dreams came true. I ended up being a psychologist and a teacher, spending decades working in residential treatment then in schools, the last 13 years working with preschoolers and their families to prepare them to succeed in school. As a teacher, I taught many college and university courses as well as workshops, most recently to address grief and trauma. In the early 1990's, I felt led to live and work at or near the world center of Quakers called Pendle Hill in PA. There I studied and taught Arts and Spirituality while also serving as a Psychologist in nearby schools. I came to see the importance of Co-Creativity (creating together a piece of life we truly want to live for). My specialties in the Arts have been writing, visual arts and dancing/movement from a "no wrong way" perspective. I incorporate these into the therapy process as they become beneficial. For much of my life, I have also been engaged with my own therapeutic process. Having been the client for several years, gives me the perspective of what might be important to you as we work together, never assuming I know or forgetting to ask you. In our sessions, I want to hear about you, find our starting points and from there develop action plans each session to work on the goals needed to find the life you dream of and are willing to work toward.

It would be my pleasure to work with you! My name is Kim Sylla and I have been interested in the field of social services since childhood when I enthusiastically listened to the life stories of those around me including friends, neighbors and extended relatives. This interest grew with with my first therapist volunteer experience -- at the age of 20 -- with individuals who had substance use and mental health disorders. Since then I have had a wide array of additional volunteer and work experiences with adults and adolescents undergoing various life challenges at work, school, home and in the larger community.

We are all worthy of self-care and however it looks for each individual.

I specialize in helping clients who seek a deeper connection with their souls. My clients are often individuals who are highly self-aware yet feel stuck in cycles of anxiety, depression, or shame. Many are creatives who struggle with self-doubt, motivation, or isolation. I help them explore their unconscious layers in new ways, fostering growth and self-acceptance. My approach is safe, supportive, trauma-informed, and spiritually integrative, and clients frequently share that they feel truly seen and heard in our work together. My therapy blends Jungian depth psychology and psychoanalysis with tools from my diverse background as a therapist, tarot reader, bodyworker, yoga and meditation instructor, and social worker. I tailor interventions to each client's needs, honoring the uniqueness of their experiences. As an AuDHD therapist with an autoimmune condition, I bring lived experience to my work, especially with clients who are neurodivergent, experience chronic pain, or navigate health challenges. My presence in sessions may look different from traditional therapy—I may fidget, play with my hair, or use my hands while listening. I also approach scheduling with care and transparency, as my health can sometimes require unexpected flexibility. While my practice is stable, I believe in being upfront about the realities of working with me so clients can make an informed decision. For those who resonate with a therapist who deeply understands these experiences, I offer a space of deep attunement and connection. Therapy is a deeply personal journey, and it’s important to work with someone with whom you feel safe opening up. If this approach speaks to you, I invite you to reach out.

Utilizing both these degrees has helped me to combine both traditional and alternative therapies into my work.

I earned a Master of Science degree in Clinical Counseling from Loyola University in Baltimore, Maryland. Additionally, I received a secondary Guidance Certification from Villanova University.

Therapy can increase overall sense of well-being, build stronger coping and problem-solving skills, strengthen one's resiliency and determination, change behavior, and build stronger interpersonal relationships. The establishment of a trusting relationship between the client and therapist is of utmost importance to be able to work together to build a skill set to adapt and overcome life's most difficult challenges in order to create a fulfilling life. Regardless of a client's clinical needs, it is imperative to determine their support system and focus on the encouraging aspects of those relationships in helping the client become more resilient and set on a positive path in life.
