Hello, I am...

Kayla Atkins, MSN, CPNP-PC, PMHS

I’m a board-certified Pediatric Nurse Practitioner with over 10 years of experience caring for children and adolescents. I specialize in developmental and behavioral health, with a focus on ADHD, autism, anxiety, depression, mood concerns, and the many challenges that can come with growing up.


I truly love what I do. My goal is to create a space where both children and parents feel heard, supported, and never rushed. I take time to listen, understand the full picture, and work alongside families to create a plan that feels realistic and helpful for everyday life. Every child is different, and I believe care should reflect that.


I also hold a certification as a Pediatric Mental Health Specialist, which has deepened my passion for helping children not only feel better, but thrive—emotionally, socially, and at home and school.

As a mom of three daughters, I understand firsthand how overwhelming it can feel when your child is struggling. That perspective shapes the way I care for families—with empathy, honesty, and a focus on practical solutions that truly make a difference.


I’m honored to be part of your child’s care and to walk alongside your family through each step of the journey.
