Introduction

My name is Kayla Porter, licensed marriage and family therapist (LMFT) and founder of Sacred Roots Wellness, where I support individuals and couples who are seeking deeper connection, personal growth, and more fulfilling relationships. My journey into this work grew from a deep passion for helping people heal at the root—emotionally, relationally, and holistically—rather than simply managing surface-level symptoms. I specialize in working with individuals navigating life transitions, relationship challenges, and personal growth, as well as couples who want to strengthen communication, rebuild trust, and cultivate deeper emotional and intimate connection. My approach is integrative and client-centered, blending evidence-based therapy with a mindful, compassionate lens that honors each person’s unique story, values, and lived experience. In our work together, I strive to create a safe, nonjudgmental space where clients feel seen, heard, and empowered. Therapy with me is collaborative and intentional—focused not only on healing past wounds, but also on building practical tools, self-awareness, and resilience that clients can carry into their everyday lives. Whether you’re feeling stuck, disconnected, or simply ready for meaningful change, my goal is to support you in reconnecting with yourself and creating relationships that feel authentic, balanced, and aligned.
