Kayla Davis is a licensed clinical social worker with 14 years of experience working across a wide range of clinical settings and populations. She began her academic path with an Associate of Applied Science in Nutrition from the University of New Hampshire and later completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Bridgewater State University, which helped launch her early work with eating disorder treatment. She then pursued graduate training at the University of Hawaii Pacific University, earning a Master of Social Work and gaining extensive clinical experience during internships that included work with addictions, cancer survivors and their families, and complex mental health presentations.

Over the course of her career Kayla has worked with teens, individuals experiencing homelessness, people managing anxiety and depression, clients with bipolar disorder, and those affected by trauma, grief, and substance use. Her training emphasized cultural competence, an influence that continues to inform her day-to-day clinical practice and her ability to adapt to diverse needs. She holds both an LICSW in Massachusetts and an LCSW in Hawaii - professional social work licenses that denote advanced clinical training and supervision.

Her therapeutic approach blends cognitive behavioral therapy with motivational interviewing and draws on active listening and reflective support to help clients clarify goals and make sustainable changes. She focuses on practical, collaborative work around stress, anxiety, addictions, eating concerns, self-esteem, and communication challenges while maintaining attention to each person’s unique context and values.
