About Layla Hendricks

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.

“Layla is extremely validating, accommodating and offers an amazing variety of resources or alternatives for whatever may be happening in life. It took awhile for me to find what I wanted out of therapy and she really does a great job at giving you resources you might not even know to ask for!”

“Positive considerations to my mental health”

“Even though I’ve only had her a short time she’s very kind and gives great insight”

“Layla has been helpful and active in communicating with us. <br /> Our problem has been a technical issue that may be user error.”

“Layla is excellent at listening. She has a way of making look at things differently, that makes me feel better. I would highly recommend.”

“Layla is a healer and is easy to talk with. She asks good questions, and directed me to focus on reading material at hand, to focus better on self care.”

“Layla is an incredible therapist who helped me through many difficult issues. She easily created a safe & supportive environment. She is very responsive & flexible with scheduling. You can tell she genuinely cares and wants to help others. This was my first experience with therapy and I’m so glad I was matched with her.”

“Layla is the best. Someone else said it best when they said “talking with her is like talking with a friend I’ve known for years.” I look forward to our sessions every week!”

“I have been working with Layla for a few weeks now. All I can say is wow. She was able to show me comfort and a safe space, that changed my views on therapy in general. She is wonderful!”

“Layla is INCREDIBLE. I’ve only had a handful of sessions with her so far, but I immediately (and continually) felt so comfortable with and welcomed by her. She is respectful, insightful, and extremely compassionate and understanding. I can’t say enough positive things about her! Definitely would recommend her without a doubt. She especially is talented in working with my anxieties and providing multiple perspectives and approaches to managing it. :)”

“I could write a book about how great of a therapist Layla is. To put it simply, I am a healthcare professional by trade. I hold myself to a higher standard than most and expect the same from other healthcare professionals. Safe to say, I do not trust many other healthcare professionals wholeheartedly. I have had to switch therapists a dozen times across multiple different platforms before finding Layla and I have to say, I am glad I kept trying because I almost gave up on therapy. Layla as a whole is a work of art. She is kind, passionate, gentle, but also not afraid to tell it as is. However the best part about her is that she treats me like an individual HUMAN; Not a number, and not a diagnosis; and based off my experience I can just tell that is the type of person she is with every person she encounters. I cannot recommend her enough, and from me, that is saying something.”

“She has been wonderful! She gets it!! I wish I could talk to her in person”

“This is my first go at therapy, and I chose BetterHelp due to my schedule and it’s been nothing but great! Layla has been very understanding and supportive! Although it’s early in my therapy journey, everything through Layla and the BetterHelp has been a great addition to my healing!”

“Layla is very sweet and personable. She’s truly helped me in a way I can’t explain. I haven’t been in therapy very long at all but she has really made a difference already.”

“Layla is not only personable but relatable! She professionally lays things out flat giving you the power to think, while she offers tools and support. I love the honestly and openness!”
