Kayla, a licensed Clinical Social Worker with a background in community mental health, recognized the profound disparities in access to mental health care within BIPOC communities. Inspired by a vision of creating a space where healing is both inclusive and affordable, she founded Helen’s Project with the belief that everyone deserves access to quality mental health support, regardless of their background or financial situation.Helen’s Project operates on the principle that culturally competent and empathetic mental health care is essential for holistic well-being. The organization collaborates with a diverse team of mental health professionals who not only possess clinical expertise but also understand the unique cultural nuances and challenges faced by the BIPOC community.
Healing happens when you feel seen, supported, and empowered to move forward. I work with individuals, couples, and families navigating anxiety, OCD, family conflict, anger management, and cultural & ethnic identity concerns while also helping clients facing depression, trauma, stress, grief, ADHD, relationship challenges, women's issues, physical health concerns, and life transitions. With more than 17 years of experience in mental health, I bring a diverse background that includes private practice, school counseling, and serving as an Infant and Early Childhood Mental Health Consultant. These experiences have strengthened my belief that lasting growth happens through meaningful connections—with ourselves, our relationships, and our communities. Whether you're seeking support during a difficult season or looking to create lasting change, I'm committed to meeting you where you are with compassion, respect, and practical guidance.

Factors to Consider When Choosing a Postpartum Therapist in Huntsville, AL
Finding postpartum therapists in Huntsville starts with looking for care that matches the concerns you want to address. Postpartum support can include more than postpartum depression. Many people also look for help with postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity shifts, relationship strain, or adjusting to new routines. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience in perinatal mental health, postpartum care, or maternal mental health. The PMH-C credential can also signal specialized training in perinatal mental health.
Huntsville has a range of postpartum therapists, and virtual care can expand your options when local availability, infant care, or physical recovery shape your schedule. Some people prefer meeting in person, while others choose virtual sessions because they fit more easily around feeding, naps, appointments, or support at home. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment availability, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also show how a therapist describes their style, which can help you decide who may be a good fit.
Therapy in Huntsville can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and understand what you may pay before care starts. Headway helps you search postpartum therapists who are accepting new patients, review detailed profiles, and see estimated out-of-pocket costs after entering your insurance details. From there, you can compare virtual and in-person options, browse therapists, and book directly when you’re ready.
