Hello! I'm Kaylie (she/they). As a queer clinician, I am dedicated to providing a safe and affirming space for identity exploration, navigating coming out, and validating your queer experiences. Supporting the LGBT+ community is a central motivation for my career as a therapist. I also work with individuals experiencing anxiety and depression, and I focus on supporting neurodiverse populations, including those with autism and ADHD. My goal is to help clients develop skills to navigate their environments and offer a supportive space to address the challenges they face in a world that may not always accommodate their needs.

I specialize in Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), focusing on skills in mindfulness, emotional regulation, distress tolerance, and interpersonal effectiveness. Additionally, I integrate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), existentialism, and feminist therapy into my practice.

Whether you're exploring your identity, trying to build a strong sense of self, navigating anxiety and depression, or seeking support regarding neurodiversity, I am here to support you every step of the way.

Groups

Embodiment: A Body Image Support Group

Hosted by

Kaylie Gilston

In this group, we explore individual narratives to “body image,” as well as the differences between body positivity, body neutrality, and HAES (Health At Every Size). We explore barriers to embodiment including socio-economic status, genetics, family/societal myths/beliefs, stigmas, trauma, consistent invalidation, sports, religion, not identifying with your body, body-shame, etc. We unpack cognitive distortions, learn skills in emotion regulation, and explore mindfulness & body movement as ways to connect with the body. We utilize ACT (Acceptance Commitment Therapy) to bring individualized values into creating new narratives about body image.
