Hi,

 

I am Jayla Pettis, a compassionate therapist that is a Licensed Social Worker, committed to understanding and supporting adolescents and young adults as they navigate through the significant phases of their journey in life. I work with clients to address issues such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, executive functioning difficulties, navigating identity, transitioning to adulthood, dealing with traumatic responses, and regulating emotions.

 

I have a lot of experience working with people suffering from trauma, anxiety, and those that are neurodivergent. I see my role as one where I build trusting relationships with my clients and create a safe space where they feel heard and validated. My therapeutic approaches are Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior therapy (DBT), and Psychodynamic and Relational therapy, where I help clients develop coping strategies and achieve personal goals. My goal is to provide my clients with supportive, effective, and collaborative approaches to give them the best therapy possible at Morningside Counseling and Assessment.

 

Let’s embark on this journey together!
