Zaya Kuykendall , LMHC, LPCC

Zaya Kuykendall helps people find balance when life feels fast, overwhelming, or off course. She works with clients to reconnect with themselves, regulate emotions, and clarify priorities so they can move forward with greater stability and purpose. Her approach emphasizes collaboration - she listens, offers feedback, and partners with each person to identify practical next steps and personal goals.

Zaya brings an eclectic clinical style informed by Gestalt therapy, motivational interviewing, and Solution Focus therapy. She uses these influences to help clients identify feelings, build personal strengths, and address obstacles that block progress. Sessions focus on increasing self-awareness, resolving unfinished issues, and developing strategies that support lasting change.

She has worked in the helping field for more than fifteen years and has been a practicing psychotherapist for a decade. Zaya holds LMHC and LPCC credentials - LMHC stands for Licensed Mental Health Counselor and LPCC stands for Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor - and she completed a Bachelor of Science in Psychology in 2000 and a Master of Arts in Professional Counseling in 2004.

Over the years she has developed specializations in areas such as domestic violence, child development and parenting, familial conflict, women’s issues, and substance abuse. Zaya provides therapy to children and adults across individual, group, family, couples, and e-therapy formats, supporting clients through the bumps and turns of life as they work toward greater calm and resilience.
