McKayla Roberts

 

McKayla is a Provisional Mental Health Therapist. McKayla was born and raised in Omaha, Nebraska. She currently studies as a Clinical Psychology doctoral candidate at The Wright Institute in Berkeley, California. McKayla has received her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Oral Roberts University, and her Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from Montclair State University. She is expected to graduate with her Psy.D. in June 2026.

 

McKayla has worked with children, adolescents and young adults. McKayla has worked with individuals interested in exploring their identity, individuals experiencing depression, difficulties adjusting to new circumstances, trauma symptoms, anxiety, feelings of suicide, and more. She takes an integrative and person-centered approach to therapy. She utilizes Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy; Psychodynamic Theory, a Family Systems approach; and/or The Attachment, Regulation, and Competency Model (ARC) to tailor her approach to meet her clients where they are at. 

 

McKayla celebrates diversity, while also paying close attention to the issues of culture and the systematic barriers that may impact her client’s well-being. An example of her approach could look like exploring the undesired physical and emotional feelings attached to previous experiences impacting the quality of an individual’s daily life.

 

McKayla’s long-term goal is to obtain her doctorate, and create a safe and efficient mental health and reentry program for system-impacted individuals/families, and individuals post-incarceration.
