Kayla Harris is a graduate from Duquesne University with a Master of Science in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. She started her career with Onyx Therapy Group as a resident counselor and at a College Campus working as a mental health clinician. As a counselor, Kayla has provided mental health and trauma counseling specifically to individuals dealing with grief and loss, body dysmorphia and eating disorders, various forms of abuse, and mental health disorders.

 

Her approach to therapy comes from a holistic lens. She believes health is wealth and that mental clarity and peace are among the greatest values and gifts we can offer ourselves. She uses evidence-based practices like person-centered therapy and incorporates psychodynamic, solution-focused, and interpersonal approaches with aspects of family systems, mindfulness, and cognitive behavioral therapy (CBT). 

 

Kayla’s goal is to help reclaim the narrative and write the story people want for themselves! She is dedicated to understanding her clients' unique and multi-faceted identities and experiences as well as cultivating their strengths. As a counselor, she believes we all desire to be seen, known, and understood, and aims to create a space where individuals experience just that, welcomed and embraced.
