It's not about ignoring our mistakes or shortcomings, but rather acknowledging them with a gentle hand.

]]> Finding a therapist who is the “right fit” https://brightspacetherapy.com/findingatherapist/?utm_source=rss&utm_medium=rss&utm_campaign=findingatherapist Tue, 09 Apr 2024 20:32:29 +0000 https://brightspacetherapy.com/?p=8986 I know starting therapy can feel scary and vulnerable. It’s important to find the “right fit” when searching for a therapist as it can feel discouraging if you meet with a therapist and don’t “click.” This doesn’t mean that therapy isn’t for you! This could just be a difference in personality or preference in therapeutic techniques. Here are some tips to help find the “right fit” for you:

]]> HI! I am Kayla Zackary, a licensed professional counselor associate at Bright Space Therapy. I originally began my work as a therapist with individuals serving time on probation and parole and have transitioned into the private practice setting where I love working with couples, young adults, and adolescents. I have special training in working with trauma and relational concerns and am passionate about helping each person find healing and reach their full potential. 

Therapy is near and dear to my heart as I have greatly benefited from it myself and believe in its power. Often times, it can feel that life is happening to us, rather than in us. What do we do with this?  How do we make meaning of our suffering? How do we live in the midst of hardship, or better yet, make our way back to a full and satisfying life? 

These are the questions I love to hold space for and to work with you to find meaningful and practical answers to. I too have grappled with these questions and know firsthand just how crucial it is to have a place where processing, healing, and growth can be cultivated. I like to utilize a variety of techniques, depending on the individual, and use tools such as EFIT Trauma therapy, EFT couples therapy, CBT, DBT, and Walk and Talk Sessions in nature. 

More about Me:

My favorite part of being a therapist:

I love being able to cultivate and hold a space where healing, transformation, and growth occurs. It is an absolute honor to walk alongside of people in the midst of their pain and to get to witness monumental moments of freedom, relief, and healing. To get to be apart of life change is a rare and beautiful experience that I greatly treasure. 

My current favorite self-care activities:

I love to be outdoors, so if it is a pretty day and I’m feeling good, I love to walk a trail with a friend, stopping for chips and queso along the way. If I am feeling tired, I may walk to a nearby park and read or journal. I don’t know if this counts as self-care or not, but one of my all time favorite activities is two-stepping! I love to go with a group of friends and learn new moves and just have fun with it. 

My current favorite therapy tool:

I really enjoy doing values work with my clients as I see it being a really helpful tool for decision making and reducing anxiety. I also really love using EFIT (Emotionally Focused Individual Therapy) to help clients find healing from traumatic and troubling experiences. I believe it is a delicate and transformative experience between the client and therapist.
