ABOUT DR. MCAYLA
I'm Dr. Mcayla
I'm a psychotherapist, author, and EMDRIA-Certified clinician with nearly two decades in private practice. I hold a master's degree in marriage and family therapy and a doctorate in psychology, and I'm licensed in California and Florida.
In 2013, I received a grant from the EMDR Institute to conduct an extensive year-long study of the 5-Day EMDR Intensive, and I have been refining that work ever since.
My work draws on psychology, neuroscience, and spirituality to reach the beliefs people formed long before they could question them, the ones that quietly shape how they live and relate.
I understand this work from the inside. I spent years caught in patterns that logic alone could not move, and the moment they finally shifted changed the direction of my life. That experience is why I do this work, and why I wrote my book, Behind the Story.
Behind the Story: Redefining Who You Are From the moment we're born, we piece together an identity from the people and the world around us. Behind the Story explores how those early beliefs take shape, how they keep running quietly in the background, and how understanding them opens the door to lasting change.
