Kayla Brumm
Hi, I’m Kayla Brumm, a Licensed Social Worker with a Master of Social Work from the University of Kentucky, with certificates in Clinical Social Work, Trauma-Informed Care, and Substance Use Disorders. My passion lies in helping individuals and couples foster healthy communication, explore their sexuality, and process feelings of guilt or shame.
With personal experience as a military spouse, I have a deep understanding of the unique challenges that military couples face, especially around intimacy during and after deployment. I also work with service members navigating their sexuality, offering a supportive and understanding space. Growing up in the South, I know firsthand the stigma, guilt, and fear often tied to desire, sexuality, and kink. My goal is to help clients release internalized shame and embrace their authentic selves.
I have a deep passion for working with the polyamorous/ethical non-monogamy community as well as kinky folx. I want people to feel seen and understood no matter their sexual interests. As we often say in sex therapy "don't yuck someone's yum!"
I use a trauma-informed approach through blending EMDR, Internal Family Systems, and a blend of relationship therapy techniques to help people find healing and pleasure in their relationships.
I am committed to providing gender-affirming care and creating a respectful, empathetic, and empowering environment. My approach is client-centered, focusing on helping you find confidence and comfort in your body and life. By being present with you through pain, discomfort, fear, joy, and all that life brings, I strive to create a safe space where you can truly thrive.
