Kayla Davis

Kayla Davis is a licensed clinical social worker based in Hawaii with 14 years of experience in the field. She began her educational journey with an Associate of Applied Science in Nutrition from the University of New Hampshire, then completed a Bachelor of Arts in Psychology at Bridgewater State University.

After working primarily with eating disorder and mental health populations, she returned to graduate school in Hawaii at Pacific University to earn her Master of Social Work.

Her training emphasized cultural competence, which continues to inform her day-to-day clinical work.

In her post-graduate career Kayla has worked with homeless and teen populations as well as individuals facing addictions, anxiety, depression, eating disorders, and other mental health challenges. She focuses on clients’ strengths and meeting people where they are, using a blend of cognitive behavioral therapy and motivational interviewing. Kayla centers active listening and supportive reflection in sessions to help clients make decisions that fit their goals.

She holds licensure to practice social work in both Hawaii and Massachusetts. Kayla brings a flexible, strengths-based approach shaped by broad clinical experience across diverse populations.
