Therapist in St. Louis, MO


Clinical Specialties:

  • Play Therapy

Hi, I’m Shayla! I’m a Master’s level therapist at Marble Wellness.

My Education and Professional Background

I have earned a Bachelor of Arts in Social Sciences from Southeast Missouri State University, as well as a Master of Arts in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Missouri Baptist University. I’m a counselor-in-training working towards LPC licensure and I’m also completing a certification to become a Registered Play Therapist. 

I graduated with my Masters Degree in May of 2023. In my work thus far, I have gained experience working with clients with anxiety, depression, ADHD, Autism, grief and loss, and processing various life stages. I absolutely love working with kids and teens.

I am currently a counselor-in-training (CIT) under the supervision of Kristi Machica, LPC, RPT-S, License No: 2010031659-LPC; S2821-RPT.

How I Like to Work in Therapy

I enjoy working with children and adolescents between 3 years of age and 17 years of age, as well as young adults. I enjoy working with children of all ages because every session is an adventure. Children are fun, exciting, unpredictable, and eager to learn new things. I hope to build a relationship with your child and family and to provide tools and strategies they can utilize as they continue to learn and grow. 

My favorite thing about being a therapist is being able to see how a client learns, grows, and flourishes through the therapeutic process.

It’s so important to be able to develop that therapeutic relationship with a client, to meet them where they are, and to cultivate a therapy space where they are able to feel safe and secure.

Fun Fact

I was born and raised in the St. Louis area. My husband and I have 3 adorable cats. I am a big St. Louis Blues fan, enjoy comedy movies, love to travel, love a good stroll through Target, and feel that you can never go wrong with a good nap. Visiting Greece is at the top of my bucket list.
