About Kayla Meyer, MS, LPC

Kayla Meyer, MS, MEd, LPC is a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania who provides psychodynamic therapy to adults navigating anxiety, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Her work focuses on helping people understand the patterns that shape their emotional lives, relationships, and sense of self.

Kayla’s clinical approach is informed by psychodynamic and attachment-based perspectives, with a particular interest in how early relational experiences influence emotional development and interpersonal patterns later in life. Her work emphasizes developing greater self-understanding and reflective capacity so that individuals can respond to their lives with greater freedom rather than feeling driven by automatic or repeating patterns.

In addition to her clinical work, Kayla serves as an adjunct professor teaching undergraduate psychology courses in child and adolescent development. Her academic work focuses on helping students think critically about psychological theory, development, and the relational factors that shape human behavior. 

Kayla has also participated in research at Lehigh University examining topics including therapist effectiveness, race socialization in families, and early social development in infancy. These experiences continue to inform her interest in the intersection of developmental research, attachment theory, and psychotherapy. 

She has completed specialized training in reflective functioning, a concept from attachment research that refers to the capacity to understand behavior in terms of underlying mental states such as thoughts, feelings, and intentions. This perspective plays an important role in her clinical work and her broader interest in how people develop the ability to understand themselves and others.

Therapy is a gift.  It is a chance to be heard, understood, and supported.
