Hi, I’m Kayla Stewart, your couples therapist in Summerville, SC.

I am a licensed marriage and family therapist located near Historic Downtown Summerville, South Carolina.

I offer couples and marriage therapy/counseling, individual counseling for women and femmes, affair recovery, and peer support groups for collective healing.

I pull from Relational Life Therapy, Emotionally Focused Therapy, attachment-based, Parts work, feminist, and my understanding of body and breathwork. I help my clients find the emotional safety and trust within themselves and their relationships.

My Core Beliefs

therapy is a safe space to feel uncomfortable in.

Deep, meaningful change happens when people can begin to allow themselves to move through sadness, anger, fear, and resentment.

therapy won’t fix you or your partner.

My role is to provide feedback, offer you alternatives, wisdom, strategies, and resources. My hope is that I can provide something useful as you move through this chapter in your life.

therapy is not neutral.

Just like clients- therapists are people who hold their own values, beliefs and culture. I can only take my clients as far as my own healing has taken me.

Parenthood. ADHD. Autism. Military Dependent. Partnership. Black and Mixed Race Ancestry. Trauma. Puerto Rican Culture. LGBTQ Allyship. Going to therapy myself.
