HI! I’M DR. KAYLEN FITZPATRICK, PSY.D.
I’m a licensed clinical psychologist based in South Florida. I provide therapy for adults seeking real, lasting change—whether you’re navigating anxiety, trauma, burnout, relationship challenges, depression, or major life transitions, including pregnancy, prenatal, and postpartum mental health. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, mentally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we focus on practical, effective solutions to help you feel more in control, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.
I specialize in working with individuals who are high-achieving yet internally struggling—often holding themselves to high standards, feeling self-critical, or finding it difficult to “turn off” their thoughts. Many of my clients come in feeling overwhelmed, mentally drained, or stuck in patterns that no longer serve them. Together, we focus on practical, effective solutions to help you feel more in control, think more clearly, and move forward with confidence.
In our work, you’ll learn how to:
Reduce anxiety, stress, and emotional overwhelmImprove communication and build healthier, more secure relationshipsProcess and move beyond past traumaBreak cycles of overthinking, perfectionism, and self-criticismNavigate life transitions with clarity and stabilityCreate a more balanced, sustainable way of living
My approach is integrative and relational, always tailored to meet your unique needs. I am trauma-informed and draw from evidence-based modalities such as psychodynamic therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), solution-focused strategies, and process-oriented practices. I am also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
My approach is integrative, relational, trauma-informed, and results-oriented, combining evidence-based therapies such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), psychodynamic therapy, Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), and solution-focused techniques. This means we’re not only gaining insight into your experiences, but also actively building tools and strategies that create meaningful, lasting change.
As a self-pay practice, therapy is fully tailored to you—your goals, your pace, and your priorities—without the restrictions of insurance-driven treatment. This allows for a more personalized, focused, and effective experience.
You don’t have to keep carrying this on your own. With the right support, change is possible—and it can feel more manageable than you think.

Yes. I am EMDR-trained and offer Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy as part of my trauma-focused treatment approach. EMDR is an evidence-based method that helps clients process and heal from distressing memories, reduce emotional triggers, and build healthier responses to stress.
Alongside EMDR, I also integrate trauma-focused and trauma-informed therapy techniques into my work. This includes helping clients process difficult memories, build emotional resilience, and develop healthy coping strategies. My approach draws from evidence-based modalities like CBT, psychodynamic therapy, and process-oriented practices to support healing and growth.
-
Absolutely. Many of our clients seek therapy for burnout, chronic stress, and emotional exhaustion related to their professional careers. We work together to identify the root causes of burnout, develop strategies for work-life balance, and build boundaries that protect your mental well-being—while also exploring any deeper patterns that contribute to feeling overwhelmed.
-
Yes. We treat perinatal and postpartum mental health, supporting individuals through challenges like postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, intrusive thoughts, birth trauma, and the emotional adjustment to parenthood.
Therapy can help you process your experiences, regulate emotions, and feel more grounded during this transition.
-
Yes. We offer secure virtual therapy sessions for clients across Florida, MissourI, New York, & PsyPact States.

I am a PSYPACT-authorized psychologist, which means I can provide telehealth therapy across multiple participating U.S. states without requiring separate licenses in each one. PSYPACT (The Psychology Interjurisdictional Compact) is an agreement that allows licensed psychologists to offer online therapy to clients located in other PSYPACT states.
If you live in a PSYPACT participating state, you can work with me via secure video sessions, even if I’m not physically located in your state. This makes it easier to access therapy when you move, travel, or live in an area with limited mental health resources.
You can check the full list of PSYPACT states here to see if you’re eligible for online therapy with me.

Before your first session, you’ll receive an email or text with a secure link to join via SimplePractice, our HIPAA-compliant telehealth webcam platform. You can connect from a quiet, private space using your computer, tablet, or smartphone.
During our first meeting, we’ll discuss your reasons for seeking therapy, review your history, and set goals for our work together. You’ll also have a chance to ask questions about the therapy process, scheduling, or payment. Our goal is to make your first session comfortable and supportive so you feel at ease moving forward.
