I’m Kayla Van Wyk Johnson, a Marriage and Family Therapist (t-LMFT) who earned my Clinical Mental Health Counseling degree from Colorado Christian University. I entered this field because I have always loved hearing the life stories of others. I believe that it is extremely important for all people to have a chance to feel truly seen and heard, and I love being a safe place for people to do that.

I work with individuals, couples, and families across all ages and life stages, and I have a special passion for working with adolescents and teens. I take a systemic approach to therapy, meaning I consider how relationships, environments, and life experiences shape each person’s story. I also take an eclectic approach, collaborating with the client to discover which interventions are best for them. Some theories that I often use include person-centered, cognitive behavioral therapy, narrative therapy, acceptance and commitment therapy, and others.

As a Christian, I’m able to integrate faith into the counseling process when desired, while also welcoming and respecting clients from all spiritual and cultural backgrounds.

Outside of the therapy room, I enjoy staying active with my husband. You might find us running, hiking, paddle boarding, or walking around the Farmer's Market on the weekends. I’m also a big fan of a good cup of coffee and always appreciate a local coffee shop recommendation!
