Every phase has its light.

Aluna Therapy aims to be a guiding light, offering safe and affirming spaces where individuals can grow and flourish.

Hi, I’m Lyla Wakut

(she/her)
MSW, LCSW, PMH-C
Founder & Psychotherapist

Navigating your perinatal journey can feel overwhelming, but you don’t have to do it alone. As your therapist, I aim to provide a validating space to explore how past experiences affect your self-view and inner dialogue. Through EMDR therapy, we’ll reframe negative narratives, build coping skills, and strengthen positive self-beliefs.

With experience as a NICU social worker, a Perinatal Mental Health Certification, and advanced EMDR training, I bring expertise and compassion to our sessions. And as a mixed Latina with Type 1 Diabetes, I understand the complexities of navigating intersectional identities in healthcare. This fuels my commitment to creating a safe, inclusive space for healing—because everyone deserves that.

“As someone prone to anxiety and depression, navigating IVF and a miscarriage was extremely difficult. Lyla’s familiarity with fertility treatments made me comfortable opening up, and she has taught me coping mechanisms that have kept me afloat throughout this process. I will be forever thankful for her expertise, help, and support!”

“Lyla helped me work through a pregnancy loss, and her expertise got me through to the other side. Working with her also set me up to approach a new pregnancy with a clear, balanced mind and enter motherhood with a better understanding of who I am.”

Aluna Client

“For three years, Lyla has provided invaluable support during my transition to motherhood. She understands the unique pressures and anxieties of parenthood, creating a safe space to process complex emotions and develop healthy coping mechanisms. I had never tried EMDR before, but I've been amazed at the positive impact it's had on my anxiety. I highly recommend her.”
