Kayle Torres, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT 96009
My Experience: I have worked with children and families for over 20 years. I have worked as a nanny, preschool teacher, and childcare director. I have extensive experience working with children with special needs and offering support to their parents. I have a passion for working with children and parents, whether it is support while potty training or an exploration after a child leaves home. While I work with all ages; I LOVE working with middle school and high school children. I have created and supervise a middle/high school social skills training program in El Dorado Hills. I’ve also worked closely with schools as an ERMHS provider (educationally related mental health services) and collaborated with IEP teams to support students in and outside of the classroom.I work with all populations, however specialize in working with children and young adults that are neurodiverse (autism, ADHD) as well as providing support to their families.
I chose Marriage Family Therapy as a career because I saw how many parents just needed a little support and wanted to be able to assist and offer healing for families. Therapeutic Style: Therapy is a collaborative experience that is created by the therapist and the client. I hope to create a safe and supportive environment that allows us to walk together through our journey of therapy. I am knowledgeable in various types of therapy including Murray Bowen’s Family Systems approach and Solution-Focused therapy, CPT, and DBT. Education: I have my Bachelor’s Degree in Child Development from California State University, Sacramento and my Master’s of Arts Degree in Psychology with emphasis in Marriage Family Therapy at Brandman University.
