You don't have to suffer alone.

MEET KAYLA MCELROY, TRUAMA, GRIEF, AND EMDR THERAPIST IN MINNESOTA AND TENNESSEE

You don't have to carry the heaviness of the world alone. ​

There is a lot on your shoulders these days. You carry this heavy load, accomplishing one task, only to have another thing added. You struggle to make time for yourself, within the vast needs of others. You continue to put effort in, only to feel deflated, exhausted, and overwhelmed. It all seems so large, and you crave the day in which you can feel whole. The day in which you can take a breath, feel relief, and sense lighter days. This is a place to work toward a healthier, more grounded, confident you.

Therapy with me is collaborative, authentic, & genuine.

In our work together, you'll have an opportunity for reflection, growth, and reclaiming of new insights. You'll have the opportunity to reflect on the roots and patterns which may prevent you from being the strongest version of yourself. You'll gain skills and participate in processes to assist in rebuilding and strengthening self. Your time is valuable, and while making time for yourself may not be familiar, I work toward creating this space.

 

With this in mind, I provide teletherapy services, which you can do at a time that is convenient for you, within your own space. Telehealth appointments allow you to sneak in time for you during your lunch break, between classes, while your child is napping, or any other time that fits best within your hectic schedule (and, you don't have the stress of traffic, getting ready, or childcare!).

 

Your treatment will be catered around you, your needs, and your emotions. It will be altered as necessary, as the stressors of life change or as you progress within this journey. I offer a space which is nonjudgmental and supportive in nature. When (and if) it's helpful for your treatment, I will provide vulnerability, sharing my life examples and accepting personal mistakes. I offer a space that allows just enough humor to soften the room, while also providing honesty, being direct and forthcoming within our work together. Therapy is vulnerable, and I strive to create a space that is welcoming, genuine, and authentic. All while you transform into a healthier, more confident, and fulfilled being.
