About Provider

About Layla

Layla Bruzda is a Licensed Professional Counselor with over 10 years of experience working in both inpatient and outpatient substance use treatment, as well as outpatient mental health treatment for adolescents and adults. She is helping clients to address substance use problems, trauma, anxiety, depression, anger, low self-esteem, ADHD symptoms, grief/loss, relationship problems, communication/conflict resolution, legal involvement, and day-to-day life stressors.


Layla earned a Master’s in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Indiana University of Pennsylvania. She uses a person-centered approach to help clients achieve their goals. She utilizes cognitive behavior therapy, rational emotive behavior therapy, motivational Interviewing, and other approaches based on individual needs and goals.


Layla believes that everyone deserves to live a peaceful and fulfilling life, despite past mistakes or difficult life experiences. She recognizes that carrying around this emotional weight can be physically and mentally exhausting, or lead to feeling "stuck." Layla's goal is to help clients process these issues to lighten the weight of life's challenges.

"I approach therapy sessions as if we're sorting through the puzzle pieces of your life; we'll work together to put the pieces where they belong and create a picture of what you want your life to look like."

Get to know Layla

Why did you decide to become a counselor or psychiatric provider?


I know what it's like to feel judged, hopeless, and alone; I don't want others to feel that way.

What do you do for fun/on your time off?


I enjoy watching movies, playing video games, and spending time with my husband, daughter, and cats.
