I hope clients will find safety and freedom to explore themselves in their work with me!
Welcome
Kaylee Bayer is a psychotherapist and Clinical Team Lead at Repose. She is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and sees clients in person at the Pleasantville office and online. Kaylee most enjoys working with children and families, and with young adults.
Kaylee shapes therapy around the person in the room. She draws on several evidence-based approaches and adjusts them to fit the client, rather than asking the client to fit the method. Working with her is meant to feel supportive and collaborative, with room to explore at your own pace. She keeps the focus on what matters most to each client.
