Keyra Scovill
About
Hi, I’m Keyra, a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC) with nearly a decade of experience supporting children, adolescents, and adults through life’s challenges and transitions. I’m based in Connecticut and am licensed to provide care in Connecticut.
My approach is warm, compassionate, and whole-person focused. I believe therapy should be a space where you can feel understood, accepted, and free to show up as your authentic self. I’m especially passionate about working with neurodivergent individuals, including those with autism and ADHD, as well as people navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, identity, relationships, and emotional overwhelm.
My clinical background includes trauma-focused care, women’s mental health, perinatal and postpartum support, and working with individuals and families across a wide range of experiences. I draw from approaches including EMDR, IFS, CBT, and DBT, while tailoring therapy to each person rather than taking a one-size-fits-all approach.
What drives me as a provider is helping people better understand themselves, feel less alone in their experiences, and develop ways of living that feel more authentic and sustainable. I value curiosity, humor, creativity, and genuine connection, and I want therapy to feel like a collaborative space where we can explore what matters most to you.
I chose this path because I’ve always been deeply curious about what makes people who they are and what helps us feel truly understood. Over the years, I’ve seen how powerful it can be when someone has a safe, nonjudgmental space to make sense of their experiences and feel accepted for who they are.
I’m especially passionate about supporting people who may have spent much of their lives feeling different, misunderstood, or like they needed to fit into expectations that didn’t feel natural to them. I love helping people uncover their strengths, understand themselves with more compassion, and create a life that feels more authentic to who they are.
Being a therapist gives me the opportunity to meet people exactly where they are and walk alongside them as they navigate change, healing, and self-discovery. That human connection—and seeing someone begin to understand and embrace themselves in a new way—is what continues to make this work meaningful to me.
I believe that each person already carries strengths, wisdom, and qualities that can help them move toward the life they want. My role is not to “fix” you or define you by your challenges, but to help you recognize and build upon what is already within you.
I take a compassionate, collaborative, and affirming approach to therapy. Together, we explore your experiences, values, needs, and strengths while creating space for you to better understand yourself and what works for you. I especially value helping clients recognize that the ways they have learned to cope or navigate the world often developed for a reason, and that understanding ourselves with compassion can be an important part of growth.
Rather than focusing only on what feels difficult, I want to help you identify what is meaningful to you, what you’re already doing well, and what allows you to feel most like yourself. My hope is that therapy becomes a place where you can build confidence in your own inner knowledge, develop tools that fit who you are, and move toward a life that feels authentic, sustainable, and fulfilling.
