About

Hi there! I’m Kayla Johnson, a psychologist licensed in Texas. I'm so glad you are here and I truly believe that our paths didn't cross by accident. My work is driven by a commitment to seeing people in their full humanity. I don’t just see a 'client'; I see a person with a unique story, a specific purpose, and an inherent right to peace. I’m here to offer a space filled with grace, warmth, and genuine connection as we navigate the complexities of your journey together.

Education & Licensure
PhD in Counseling Psychology from Texas A&M University; MEd in Educational Psychology from Texas A&M University; BS in Psychology from University of North Texas
Treatment Approach
What motivated you to specialize in working with autistic adults?

I’m drawn to working with the neurodivergent and autistic community because I see the way that you were created as a specific kind of brilliance, not a burden. For too long, the world has tried to 'standardize' the human experience, but I believe there is an intentionality in our differences. My 'why' is rooted in a desire to see you stop apologizing for how your mind works. I want to help you peel back the layers of masking and societal expectations so you can finally embrace the fullness of your design. There is so much power in being exactly who you are, and it is my joy to help you find the peace that comes with that realization.

How do you bring a strengths-based, affirming approach to your client work?

My approach is centered on wholeness and reclamation. We spend so much energy focusing on what feels difficult, but I believe real growth happens when we root ourselves in our strengths. As a Black woman, I am deeply aware of the 'masking' we often do to feel safe or accepted. In our time together, my priority is to create an environment where you can lay your burdens down and take your mask off. I focus on affirming your experiences and helping you build a life that is in alignment with your values and your natural rhythm. I'm not looking to 'fix' you; I'm working to empower you to show up as your full, true self.
