The Story Of Kyla Care
Lyndsey founded Kyla Care Therapy in 2020 during the pandemic. After working in various settings related to women’s health Lyndsey recognized the intersections of the reproductive journey and the body-mind impact of these experiences. She wanted to address reproductive mental health on the individual and community level by making therapy accessible, educating about reproductive mental health and wellness, and supporting providers with training to empathetically support the emotional experience of their patients.
