Marriage and Family Therapist

Kylie Maynard

ALMFT, EMDR
Therapy for Individuals, Partners, and Families ages 16+

I work with individuals, couples, and families ages 16+, helping clients explore and address challenges in relationships, mood, and communication. Trained in systemic therapy, I view each client holistically, examining patterns within the individual, family, and relational systems to foster meaningful growth and change.

I create a safe, judgment-free, and positive space where we can explore core issues, relational dynamics, and past trauma. My approach is collaborative, solution-focused, and often infused with humor, empowering clients to step outside their comfort zones and build healthier relationships with themselves and others.

I specialize in supporting clients navigating relationship challenges, depression, anxiety, mood disorders, and communication difficulties, providing guidance and tools to create the life and connections they desire.

What are your top specialties?

Depression, relationship therapy, family conflict, trauma & PTSD.

What would you say to someone considering therapy with you?

I like working with goal-driven clients that want to put in the work and have a therapist equally ready to work at that level with them. If that’s you, reach out.

What insurance do you accept?

BCBS PPO, Aetna, Anthem, and Cigna/Evernorth,

What does a typical session with you look like?

My sessions are tailored to each client. They will be laid-back, but goal-centered. Together we can look into core issues, relational problems, or aspects of trauma to find ways to create and maintain the life and relationships you have always wanted.

Who is your ideal client?

My ideal client is someone desiring change. I help my clients learn how to rebuild healthy relationships with themselves and others through individual, marriage, and family therapy.

I am especially passionate about working with folks processing trauma, domestic violence and sexual assault/abuse. The work these clients put in, and the empowerment they create for themselves, is really moving.

How do clients describe you?

Direct, compassionate and reliable.

Kylie’s Approach

Whether it’s traditional talk therapy (CBT), or DBT to focus on processing intense emotions, or EMDR to alleviate trauma responses in the body, I will use a combination of modalities to tailor sessions to each client.
