About me

Hello and welcome to this page! My name is Layla and I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in the state of Pennsylvania who has been working in this field with children, teens, and families for over 10 years. I am a Nationally Certified TFCBT therapist who works with children ages 3-18 who have been affected by trauma. TFCBT (Trauma Focused Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) is an evidence-based treatment for children and adolescents impacted by trauma. TF-CBT can successfully resolve a broad array of emotional and behavioral difficulties associated with single, multiple and complex trauma experiences. This type of therapy is effective for diverse, multiple and complex trauma experiences, for youth of different developmental levels, and across different cultures. In addition to TFCBT, I use different modes of therapy as well. My passion is in helping others and I will always provide a safe, calm, space for you or your Child. I feel privileged to be on the listening end of the therapeutic relationship and I love having the opportunity to provide feedback and guidance while supporting those that I work with in the next steps of their journey. I will provide compassion and empathy along the way and cannot wait to share in you or your Childs victories and steps of success towards treatment goal completion. My goal is to build a level of trust with your child so that you feel comfortable in talking to me about what has brought your family to my page. Therapy can be scary because of the unknown but therapy can also be a wonderful experience if you are ready to take that next step. During our time together, we will develop a treatment plan that fits to your needs and desired outcomes and I will provide you with activities and direction that will give you a chance to make change and practice skills between sessions. We will be able to review and discuss how things work for you or your family and can continue on this path until treatment goals are successfully completed and you feel comfortable in the progress your child makes. I look forward to sharing in your families story and hope to be able to walk beside your child on this journey.

This is my first go at therapy, and I chose teen counseling due to my schedule and it’s been nothing but great! Layla has been very understanding and supportive! Although it’s early in my therapy journey, everything through Layla and the teen counseling has been a great addition to my healing!

Layla is very sweet and personable. She’s truly helped me in a way I can’t explain. I haven’t been in therapy very long at all but she has really made a difference already.

Layla is not only personable but relatable! She professionally lays things out flat giving you the power to think, while she offers tools and support. I love the honestly and openness!

Within 3 sessions I was feeling like a human again after a very traumatic experience that left me broken. Layla is compassionate, understanding, and truly listens. She gives tools and coping strategies. Made me feel that it was normal the way I was feeling. Helped me unpack trauma and deal with PTSD.

In the short period that me and Layla have been together, I have learned a lot. I've recommended her and the teen counseling app to many friends and family members. I'm grateful I joined and happy to have Layla as a therapist.

She listens to me concerns well and doesn’t judge

Layla always brings me back to center. I have a very high stress job and some of the things she has helped me with have allowed me to improve my day to day life immensely. I highly recommend her!

Layla is truly the best! I’ve had multiple therapist before her and honestly none of them even come close to her. She’s such a good listener and really focuses on your wants and needs. She’s changed my life for the better:)

Written on Sep 14, 2023 after therapy with Layla for 2 months on issues concerning depression, stress, anxiety, lgbt, relationship issues, family conflicts, trauma and abuse, grief, intimacy-related issues, self esteem, anger management, career difficulties, and adhd

I love how real and upfront Layla is! She tells it like it is, respectfully, and certainly has the greatest respect and advice a therapist can give. She is so down to earth and always make me feel at my most comfortable feeling to be able to talk to her about anything. I love how involved she is with my feelings and making sure that I am doing okay if she doesn't hear from me in a few days. I hope I can keep her as my therapist for a long time! I would hate to start from the beginning with someone else.

Layla is great at being able to find things to focus on even when I’m not quite sure what I need! She’s so great at listening, validating and even nudging when needed! She’s also super flexible and understanding!

Layla has allowed me to feel comfortable enough to open up and speak freely about things that are going on in my life or just things that have been on my mind. I couldn't be more thankful to have Layla as my therapist and I look forward to speaking to her at every session!

Amazing program

Written on Jan 20, 2023 after therapy with Layla for 2 months

Layla is professional, engaging, she is amazing with keeping in contact and responding to any questions, comments, or concerns. The first therapist my daughter had was an absolute nightmare, I was so glad that we made the choice to change therapists and we’re connected with Layla. I would definitely recommend her to others. My teen daughter instantly felt a connection with her and just knew that she would be heard, and treated with respect, when comparing Layla to her previous therapist. She is good at what she does, and you can tell she honestly cares.

Layla is very personable. I feel like I am talking to a close friend. I don't feel like I'm talking to a shrink, I feel like I'm talking to someone who genuinely cares.
