Kayla Elsahili

I strive to build a fun, approachable, and personalized rapport with each individual I see – no two clients are ever the same. Your diagnosis is only a word, but you are you, and we build our therapeutic relationship and treatment plan based off that. I see adults, kids over the age of 12, and couples navigating relationship/sexual issues. I practice from a psychodynamic perspective and utilize various therapeutic modalities such as Cognitive Behavior Therapy and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I also have training in Emotionally Focused Therapy for work with couples.

My areas of clinical expertise are eating disorders, ADHD and autism, sexuality, and gender identity/transitioning. My personal and clinical focuses stem from a trauma-informed and social justice lens, and therefore I am thrilled to work with BIPOC and LGBTQIA+ individuals to help explore issues around gender and racial identity, inequality/oppression, and processing current events. I also provide assessment and letters for gender affirmation surgery, if so desired.

And lastly, who I am as a person: I’m a multiracial, millennial, Aries female. While I did attend graduate school on the East coast and spent some lovely years over there, I am originally from Portland. When I am not busy being a therapist, I love spending time with my husband and 2 daughters, traveling, Pilates, sushi, skincare, and trying out new coffee shops.
