ABOUT DR. MCAYLA
Hi! I’m Dr. Mcayla
a psychotherapist, author, and advocate for helping people uncover and develop their true, authentic selves. With over two decades of experience in the mental health field, I’ve dedicated my life to helping individuals heal, transform, and rediscover the truth about who they really are—once and for all.
I hold a master’s degree in marriage and family therapy and a doctorate of psychology. I am also a certified EMDR therapist, specializing in helping individuals overcome trauma, dismantle limiting beliefs, develop a solid sense of self, and create lasting change. My approach uniquely blends psychology, science, and spirituality to uncover the truth of who you are beneath the stories shaped by external influences.
My passion for truth stems from my own life journey...
Growing up, I struggled with conflicting narratives that left me questioning who I truly was. I knew logically who I was and what I was capable of, but it often felt like a lie I was telling myself. Those conflicting stories grew louder over time, pulling me further away from my inner truth and leaving me stuck in patterns I couldn’t escape. Eventually, this inner turmoil brought me to a pivotal moment in my life—far from home, alone, out of solutions, and without a clear path forward.
On that day, I experienced three back-to-back epiphanies that changed everything. These realizations were profound and life-changing, yet they weren’t new; they were truths I had encountered before.
What made them truly profound, however, was their timing. How could these truths emerge with such undeniable clarity at the exact moment I needed them most? The odds of it being a coincidence felt impossible. The realizations I had on that day turned my life around. The journey to understand the timing of them became the driving force behind my book, Behind the Story.
What I discovered about how familiar realizations can suddenly become undeniable in pivotal moments of our lives inspired me to share this insight with others. The book invites you to reexamine the narratives that shape your sense of self, uncover the hidden forces that have defined your identity, and confront the barriers keeping you from reshaping it. It challenges the narratives you’ve been living by and reveals how understanding these forces can unlock profound personal transformation.
Through my work, I’ve helped countless individuals uncover their own truths, reconnect with their authenticity, and rewrite the stories that guide their lives. This journey isn’t just about healing—it’s about reclaiming your truth and creating a life defined by your internal authenticity rather than shaped by external experiences.
 What caused those epiphanies at the precise moment when I needed them most? What caused truths I had resisted for so long to suddenly feel undeniable, transforming my life in an instant? The answers not only changed my life but hold the key to helping you change your own. I invite you to find out in Behind the Story.
