Kayla Davies, B.S. Psychology Associate : I recently graduated from Rochester College with a Bachelors of Science in Counseling Psychology. My love for the field and passion for people led me to Loyola University-Maryland where I am currently pursuing my Master's degree in Pastoral Counseling-Clinical Mental Health. Throughout my professional journey I have worked with individuals who struggled with clinical depression, post traumatic stress disorder, and different forms of anxiety disorders. My work with children and adolescents include treating disruptive behavioral disorders such as oppositional defiant disorder or antisocial disorder. My goal in this field is to help individuals reach their best potential, or at the very least help them to realize their worth. I believe the key to doing so is by providing adequate services and fostering a therapeutic environment where the client feels safe.
