Couples therapists in Gig Harbor, WA

I am a transmasc, queer therapist. My ongoing, personal journey of exploration definitely informs my work as a psychotherapist.

I’ve been working as a mental health professional for over two decades,I have been helping people navigate systems and life changes throughout my career. My goal is to ensure that everyone feels valued and supported in my practice – gay, lesbian, bi, queer, exploring, neurodivergent, polyamorous, kinky, ASE, intersex gender expansive, genderqueer, transgender, nonbinary, and those who are exploring – I want everyone to feel safe, seen and heard in my office.

The focus of my work over the past 25 years has been on fostering a welcoming and inclusive space for individuals across the LGBTQIA+ spectrum – especially those who are questioning or wanting to explore their queer and trans identities in a safe, inclusive space.

I provide individual therapy and work with older teens, young adults to elder audlts who are exploring their gender identities.

I work with individuals, couples, and families of all ages. I have a Masters in Clinical Health Psychology and a Masters in Nutrition/Dietetics, which helps lend to a holistic approach to my work with clients. I commonly work with health behavioral change, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, ADHD, OCD, and relationship change. My treatment approach utilizes a biopsychosocial lense in long-term therapy based in psychodynamic, strengths-based, and integrative work in overall health. I utilize coping skills from CBT, DBT, ACT, and Mindfulness. I incorporated life-skills such a assertiveness, boundaries, and career.

I love the work that I do and the healing relationships I have been able to foster with my clients. I believe that therapy is a form of self-care and I want to be an advocate of that for my clients. I welcome anyone who thinks they may want some support, whether long-term or short-term to reach out to me and set up a brief phone consultation.

My goal is that you feel genuinely seen, supported, and understood in our work together. I bring a warm, grounded, and collaborative style to therapy, helping adults who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, relationship stress, and long‐standing emotional patterns. I pay close attention to the deeper themes beneath the surface—your beliefs, your protective strategies, and the ways you’ve learned to cope—so we can create meaningful, lasting change. My goal is to help you feel safe, empowered, and more connected to yourself from the very beginning.

Life can sometimes feel like you're living beneath a sky full of dark clouds—overwhelmed by anxiety, weighed down by stress and burnout, or questioning your own worth. You don't have to navigate those seasons alone.

I'm Kayla Szykowny, a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor (LCPC) in Nevada and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC) in Washington with 13 years of clinical experience. I specialize in helping adults who are struggling with anxiety, chronic stress, burnout, and low self-esteem. My goal is to create a supportive, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard, understood, and empowered to make meaningful, lasting changes.

As a partner in your healing, I’m here to guide you through the vulnerable work of remembering, reflecting, releasing, and reclaiming. Using compassionate listening, loving honesty, and intentional processing of the challenges and changes affecting your mental health, my hope for you is to recognize that peace is possible. Central to this journey is acknowledging and understanding how your identities such as race, gender, and sexuality shape your experiences and worldview. In honoring that, creating a partnership where all parts of your identity are seen, safe, and valued is crucial to my practice. I believe it’s important to create a space grounded in grace that allows you to be kind and gentle with yourself. As we “walk” together and unpack the root causes of complex issues in your life, I will be with you as we identify new ways of being/doing, coping strategies, systems of support, and tangible self-care practices. If you’re ready to take the first step, I would be honored to walk with you on your journey of growth and healing.
