About The Author
Kayla De Felix
Kayla Cummings (pen name de Felix) is a clinical mental health counselor specializing in trauma and children’s therapy. With a deep passion for helping young minds heal, she integrates creative and evidence-based approaches into her work, including Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR).
Beyond the therapy room, Kayla is a devoted ferret enthusiast and is always eager to explore the world of animal-assisted play therapy. Her two beloved ferrets, Taro and Haru, keep life full of curiosity and adventure—much like the journey she hopes to inspire in the children she supports.
Her book, Dr. Felix the Feelings Ferret’s EMDR Adventure: A Journey to Happy Memories, is a heartfelt passion project that blends her love for animals with her mission to make therapeutic concepts accessible and engaging for children. Through the playful guidance of Dr. Felix, Kayla brings EMDR to life in a way that young readers—and their caregivers—can understand and enjoy.
