Kaia Koby

Dedicated and compassionate graduate student at Northwestern University's Marriage and Family Therapy program, with a strong background in clinical work and research. I bring hands-on experience from my roles as a Mental Health Technician and ABA Therapist, where I provided therapeutic support to children with neurodevelopmental disorders in preschool settings. My academic foundation includes a Bachelor's in Psychology, with a Family Therapy minor, and a Capstone project exploring the impact of adverse childhood experiences on adult attachment styles. My long-term goal is to obtain licensure as a Marriage and Family Therapist, with aspirations to build a private practice and later pursue a PhD.
