Kayla Hoffstein, LCSW(She/Her/Hers)

Kayla (she/her) works primarily with individuals navigating the complexities of academic pressure, major life transitions, and identity exploration. Her clinical focus includes supporting those managing symptoms of anxiety and depression, as well as individuals seeking to improve the health and depth of their interpersonal relationships. By fostering an environment rooted in authenticity and connection, she helps her clients navigate the unique hurdles that arise during periods of personal growth and change.

Her therapeutic approach is fundamentally person-centered and trauma-informed, ensuring that every session is tailored to the specific needs of the individual. While Kayla draws from evidence-based modalities—including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)—she believes that a rigid adherence to any one framework is secondary to the therapeutic relationship itself. She integrates humor and genuine human connection to create a space that feels collaborative rather than clinical.

With a professional background centered on empowering clients to become experts in their own experiences, Kayla prioritizes the development of trust above all else. She views therapy as a partnership where the client’s lived experience is honored and validated. Her practice is built on the belief that when a client feels truly understood and supported, they are better equipped to cultivate meaningful, lasting changes in their daily lives.

To accommodate the diverse schedules of her clientele, Kayla offers flexible options for care. She provides traditional in-person sessions at her office location, as well as secure remote sessions for those who prefer the convenience of telehealth. This hybrid availability ensures that clients can receive consistent support regardless of their geographic location or logistical needs.
