Hello! My name is Kayla Langton, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor. I have several years of experience providing therapy for children, adolescents and adults from a variety of diverse backgrounds.
My areas of clinical expertise include anxiety, depression, self-esteem, trauma, grief and loss, everyday stressors, relational issues, behavioral issues, and parenting concerns. I specifically offer play therapy for children ages 3-12.
I believe in a holistic approach to therapy and the mind-body connection. I use a variety of evidence-based treatments, including cognitive-behavioral (CBT), dialectical-behavioral therapy (DBT), and mindfulness practices.
Together, we will build a strong therapeutic relationship which will serve as the foundation during our time together. Therapy is meant to be a place of comfort and healing, and I take great pride in making sure you are comfortable throughout the entire process.

Play therapy is recommended for children ages 3-12. Child-centered play therapy (CCPT) is an evidence-based treatment approach designed to help children with an array of behavioral, social and emotional challenges.
We know that play is a child's first language, and in a therapeutic sense, it is a lens into their inner world. We also know that all behavior is communication, so through the play therapy process, we will figure out what your child is trying to communicate through their behaviors.
Yes, we are playing for the duration of the session, but, your child is processing their inner most thoughts, feelings, and emotions. As the parent or guardian bringing your child to therapy, it is essential that you trust this process, and trust that your child will work through whatever it is that they are needing to. Art therapy, sand tray, and bibliotherapy are often used throughout the course of treatment as well.
I have experience working with children who present with anxiety/fears, low self-worth, changes in their environment, anger outbursts, impulse control, social skills, and emotion expression.
Together, we will help your child gain the skills they need to become a confident, empowered individual, who can express their feelings in a healthy way that is respectful to both themselves and those around them.
