Jayla Smith

Hi, I'm Jayla, and I am an APCC with a passion for providing compassionate and evidence-based mental health care. I have extensive experience working with individuals across all age groups, helping them navigate life’s challenges with a collaborative and supportive approach.

Before transitioning into mental health therapy, I spent eight years as an ABA therapist, where I developed a deep understanding of behavioral interventions and individualized care. From there, I expanded my expertise by working in PHP and IOP settings, supporting individuals facing a range of mental health concerns. My therapeutic approach integrates DBT and CBT, along with elements of mindfulness, solution-focused therapy, and trauma-informed care. I believe in meeting clients where they are and empowering them with the skills and insights they need to foster resilience and personal growth. I’m excited to be part of this team and look forward to making a meaningful impact.
