Kaylyn Evans is a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Registered Play Therapist RPT™ and Nationally Certified Counselor (NCC). She earned her Bachelor’s Degree at Southwestern University in Biology and Psychology and her Master’s Degree in Professional Counseling at Texas State University. Kaylyn is currently working towards her certification in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy. Kaylyn’s goal is to provide trauma-informed, anti-racist, and LGBTQIA+ affirming counseling at all times. Kaylyn has experience working with children, adolescents, and families in a variety of settings including elementary school and community agencies.
Kaylyn believes that counseling children and adolescents requires connecting and working with parents because you know your child best. She provides counseling from an prescriptive perspective using evidence-based practices including Cognitive Behavior Therapy, Solution Focused Therapy, and expressive modalities such as play, art and sand tray. Kaylyn has speciality training in Parent-Child Interaction Therapy (PCIT), a therapy geared toward increasing parent confidence and enhancing children’s emotion regulation, and Supportive Parenting for Anxious Childhood Emotions (SPACE), a therapy designed to work with parents only to address the effect of anxiety and OCD on families. She works closely with families to help create an individualized plan to meet their needs. Kaylyn has experience working with anxiety, depression, ADHD, parenting skills, emotion regulation, adjustment issues, and externalizing behaviors (tantrums, big emotions).
