Introduction

Hello, My name is Kayla Gooden. I am a Registered Associate Marriage and Family Therapist with BayRidge Effective Therapy. Whether you’re a teen feeling overwhelmed at school, a young adult navigating big transitions, or someone struggling with anxiety, depression, or self-doubt, you deserve support that meets you where you are. My approach is integrative — I draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic Therapy, Client-Centered Therapy, and other evidence-based modalities to create a plan that fits you as an individual. Feel free to reach out for a free 15-minute consultation for therapy services. Healing starts here.
