Grief counselors and therapists in Newtown Square, PA

Hi I'm Kayli, I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania. I have been working in direct practice mental health since the start of 2022 and obtained my clinical licensure in February of 2025. My experience has included working with individuals, couples and families from a variety of backgrounds. While I enjoy working with clients across the lifespan, I have a special interest in supporting teens, young adults and woman as they navigate emotional, developmental or relational challenges. I have experience treating mood and anxiety disorders, OCD, trauma, stress, ADHD, and adjustment-related issues. I always strive to create a safe, supportive space where clients feel seen, heard, and understood.

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I obtained a MSEd from Duquesne University, with a concentration in School Counseling. My mental health career started after graduating from Allegheny College with a Bachelor of Science in Psychology. I went on to work in a group home with young adults, as a crisis technician at a 24/7 walk-in center, and as a mental health service coordinator for children and adolescents. In addition to my private practice counseling work, I have experience as a school counselor working with both elementary and middle school-aged students.

Gentle, Intuitive & Reflective Is Who I AM!

Hello future client, I'm Yvette. I approach therapy with curiosity, empathy, and a deep respect for each person’s story. My personality is naturally reflective and intuitive, and I create a space that feels calm, intentional, and emotionally grounding. Clients often share that they feel understood and emotionally held in our work together.

Therapy with me is not about rushing or forcing change—it’s about building awareness, strengthening emotional boundaries, and learning how to care for yourself without guilt. I work with adults who are navigating emotional fatigue, disappointment, anxiety, or relational stress and are ready for a more compassionate, values-aligned way of healing.

If you've spent a long time handling everything on your own, the idea of opening up in therapy can feel uncomfortable — maybe even a little vulnerable. You might be stuck in your head, second-guessing yourself, or repeating patterns you can't quite break no matter how hard you try. You don't need to have it all figured out before you reach out. You just need a willingness to start, and I'll meet you right there.

I have over a decade of experience working with people as they navigate life transitions. I understand struggling and feeling overwhelmed, and I believe that adding support and guidance can help alleviate life's stressors.

I've worked multiple years as a therapist in a community mental health center, a partial hospitalization program, and a nursing home. I try to understand where you are starting and where you are trying to go. I believe that there is value in humor, storytelling, and understanding different perspectives.

I am a licensed therapist with over a decade of experience helping individuals, couples, and families navigate life’s challenges and build healthier, more fulfilling relationships. My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and grounded in respect for each person’s story and strengths.

I integrate evidence-based practices—such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, and Family Systems approaches—with a culturally responsive and trauma-informed lens. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where you can explore your thoughts and emotions, gain clarity, and move toward lasting change.

I work with clients experiencing a wide range of concerns, including stress, anxiety, depression, relationship or family conflict, grief, identity transitions, and the effects of trauma. I also have extensive experience supporting people from diverse cultural and family backgrounds who are balancing multiple roles, expectations, and life transitions.

Clients often describe me as compassionate, down-to-earth, and empowering. Together, we’ll focus on uncovering your resilience, improving communication and connection, and finding practical strategies for growth and healing—so you can live with greater confidence, balance, and purpose.

I am a LCSW who is passionate about meeting the needs of individuals and helping others to understand the impact of mental health and trauma on individual behaviors and relationships with others. I am employed as a clinical and school social worker. I work with adults, children and adolescents as well as mentoring peers and providing training in the areas of mental health, trauma, suicide prevention and school safety. I received my MSW from the University of Pittsburgh.
