Meet Dr. Kayla Bunderson
Telehealth therapy for complex trauma and men’s mental health in California & Washington
Dr. Kayla Bunderson, Psy.D.
Clinical Psychologist & Founder
CA PSY33963 and WA PY61365838
As a licensed clinical psychologist, I specialize in working with men and adults who have experienced trauma — particularly complex, relational, and high-impact forms of trauma that continue to shape identity, relationships, and emotional regulation long after the events have passed.
For over eight years, I have worked extensively with individuals navigating personality disorders, Complex PTSD, and the psychological aftermath of cult involvement, coercive control, and high-control environments — including those actively involved and those who have escaped. Many of the individuals I treat appear strong and high-functioning externally, while internally struggling with anger, shame, dissociation, attachment wounds, or relational instability. My work focuses on helping you understand not only what is happening, but why.
I began my career working in a residential treatment center for children who had experienced severe abuse. Witnessing the long-term impact of trauma on developing minds and nervous systems shaped the direction of my professional life. I pursued both my master’s and doctorate in Clinical Psychology at Alliant International University, California School of Professional Psychology, in San Diego, with continued clinical focus in private practice, hospital, treatment center, and school settings.
In our work together, I show up grounded and authentic, offering attunement, clinical depth, and structured trauma-informed treatment through EMDR and IFS. Whether you are working through complex trauma, redefining masculinity, or seeking greater emotional clarity and stability, therapy can become a place where strength and vulnerability coexist.
