I am a licensed psychologist (Ph.D.) with 9 years of experience providing therapy to adults and couples. I specialize in treating mood and anxiety disorders, including depression, anxiety, relationship concerns, life transitions, and stress. Many of the clients I work with are seeking a deeper understanding of their thoughts and behavior patterns so they can create meaningful, lasting change. I help them clarify their values and take practical, actionable steps toward becoming who they want to be.

I earned my doctorate in clinical psychology from The Chicago School of Professional Psychology and have specialized experience in adult individual and couples therapy. I primarily utilize acceptance and commitment therapy and cognitive behavioral therapy, while integrating humanistic, values-based approaches.

You deserve a fulfilling life, and I am here to help you move toward it. If you are feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or held back by self-doubt, we can work together to build insight, challenge unhelpful beliefs, and create forward momentum. When you are ready, I invite you to schedule a session and begin the process of meaningful change.

My name is Chad. I began my journey in mental health treatment in 2009 after leaving seven years of service in the United States Air Force. I earned a Masters in Counseling Psychology in 2012 and achieved licensure in 2014.I was certified in EMDR in 2011 and have been actively treating trauma symptoms for over 15 years. I've learned to integrate CBT and Narrative therapy into my practice for a more complete approach to recovery. I also help clients build boundaries, improve coping skills, develop better communication methods, resolve conflict more effectively, and pursue their life goals.

Life experiences shape how we see and respond to the world. Some lead to growth and strength. Others—toxic people, traumatic events, undeserved hardship—limit our sense of identity and control. Improved boundaries and communication help clients build healthier support. Trauma therapies help heal from past wounds and live more fully in the present.

Everybody has their own story. I'm looking forward to hearing from you and helping you write the next chapters in your life. Nothing is certain, but I will offer you the best guidance and insight I can provide and help you take your next steps forward. I look forward to meeting you and beginning this journey together. 

Kayla Thompson is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) who’s passion lies with couples and individuals with concerns about life transitions, anxiety, grief, and trauma. Kayla also works collaboratively with individuals and couples struggling with substance abuse, addictions, and unhealthy coping habits. Kayla is informed in mindfulness, anxiety, Internal Family Systems, trauma, and nutrition for mental health.

Kayla utilizes an integrated approach highlighting certain aspects in Internal Family Systems, cognitive behavioral techniques, and narrative based approaches. She believes humans are social beings who all need a sense of belonging and the past uncovers aspects that are affecting the present. There are often so many cliches to counseling; “feeling stuck” or “how to empower you.” Both which can be true and also a reminder the only reason you need to attend counseling is because you want to.

Kayla always enjoys watching clients transform into their true selves. She understands from personal experience that some transitions are painful/confusing and expressing yourself can be challenging. Her philosophies include helping clients work towards a healthier and happier lifestyle and to help them develop beneficial outlets and coping skills. Through Kayla’s warmth and outward empathy she strives to be a supportive, inspiring, and at times a challenging counselor to help her client’s achieve their goals.
