Kayla Brehm, LCSW, LCAS

As a clinical social worker, I value a strengths-based approach in meeting folks wherever they are in pursuing growth & recovery. I believe we all thrive in open & authentic relationships & it is important to accept people as they are. True healing is fostered through trusting relationships without judgment or shame. After 8 years of practicing in community mental health settings, I am beginning a private practice to continue supporting the community. I have worked with adolescents, families, & young adults with mental health concerns, trauma related distress, & substance use issues. I am open to working with adults of any age. I use a collaborative approach assisting clients to identify helpful change & develop tools, confidence, & a support network to reduce distress & meet their goals. I have extensive experience with trauma-informed care & use approaches such as EMDR, MI, & CBT. I also incorporate mindfulness and somatic based practices. Focusing support on the mind and body. Taking this step to focus on your health & wellness can be a bit daunting. I am hopeful my own experience with this process can facilitate a genuine & collaborative space as you heal & grow. Please contact me for a free 15 minute consultation to answer any questions, discuss discount options/accepted insurance, & see if we may be a good fit! I can accept Pennsylvania & North Carolina based clients and offer a sliding scale fee ranging from $40-70 for individual sessions through the Open Path Collective. https://openpathcollective.org/
