Kayla Huszar
Motherhood is a wild ride, and let’s be real—it’s not all sunshine and Instagram-worthy moments. You’re doing your best to keep everyone’s world turning, and somewhere along the line, you’ve been told to “just talk it out” when things get tough. But here’s the thing: sometimes, words just aren’t enough—especially when your mind feels cluttered and your heart feels tired.
Therapy can be a space to pause, breathe, and make sense of everything that’s happening beneath the surface. It’s not about being “fixed” (you’re not broken); it’s about reconnecting with yourself—the version of you that existed before all the layers of responsibility, expectations, and guilt piled on. Together, we’ll untangle the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that are keeping you stuck so you can find your footing again.
My approach is grounded in empathy, compassion, and real-life understanding. I’ve personally experienced the emotional and mental challenges that often accompany parenting—navigating postpartum mental health struggles, co-parenting dynamics, the unique role of being a stepparent, and the deep grief of pregnancy loss. These experiences have shaped how I show up as a therapist: genuine, nonjudgmental, and deeply committed to helping you find steadiness in the chaos.
I draw on evidence-based approaches like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Solution-Focused Therapy (SFT), and Mindfulness-Based Therapy (MBT) within a person-centered framework. Together, we’ll create space to explore the real stuff—pregnancy and postpartum adjustments, the mental load, anxiety, depression, relationship changes, identity transitions, and the complex layers of parenting and step-parenting.
Through our work, you’ll learn strategies to communicate more clearly, manage stress, and build emotional resilience. The goal isn’t perfection—it’s a sense of groundedness, clarity, and confidence as you move through each season of parenting.

Who I See
Florence and the Machine - Never Let me Go
Looking up from underneath
Fractured moonlight on the sea
Reflections still look the same to me
As before I went under
And it's peaceful in the deep
Coffee is what gets me out of bed. Milk and OREOS are my absolute fave, and art journaling is my creative escape. I’m an ADHD mom who avoids socks like the plague and I love dancing and singing in my kitchen.
