Meet your provider
Hi, I'm Kayla.
Kayla Canon, MSN, APRN, PMHNP-BCI am a board-certified Psychiatric Mental Health Nurse Practitioner and the founder of Your Own Grounds. My nursing career began in critical care, where I learned to think quickly and decisively, recognize subtle changes, and consider how each decision affects a person’s safety and well-being.
My work in medical detox later inspired me to pursue psychiatric care. Listening to people during some of their most vulnerable moments shaped my belief that meaningful care begins with understanding the person and their journey.
Read Kayla's storyI only recommend a treatment I confidently support for someone I love under the same clinical circumstances.
