About Layla
As a licensed therapist in Pennsylvania, I specialize in supporting individuals navigating complex emotional landscapes. My approach centers on helping clients develop self-compassion, overcome interpersonal challenges, and rediscover personal strength. I have extensive experience addressing a wide range of concerns, including depression, anxiety, trauma, grief, and life transitions.
My therapeutic practice focuses on empowering individuals to build healthier relationships, with themselves and others. I’m particularly passionate about supporting women through unique challenges, including workplace stress, relationship dynamics, and personal growth journeys. Whether you’re struggling with social anxiety, processing past trauma, or seeking deeper self-understanding, I offer a compassionate, collaborative approach.
I believe healing happens through genuine connection and personalized support. My goal is to create a safe, affirming space where you can explore your experiences, develop resilience, and move toward meaningful, sustainable change.

What clients say
- “I felt very comfortable talking to layla and I am excited to get to continue working with her. Very responisve, professional and you can tell she cares about her patients and their best interest.”
- “Layla has been very helpful in keeping me grounded and having a good source to make sure I’m reading things correct in my social life as that can be hard for me at times.”
- “Layla Hendricks is so kind and understanding. She listens and sessions with her don’t come with any pressure. In the past, I’ve had a lot of anxiety surrounding therapy and “knowing what to say” but sessions with Layla feel laid back and she guides the conversation when needed. She also checks in on me often —if I haven’t logged in for a few days she sends me a message which makes me feel like she takes my mental health seriously.”
