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 Montgomery, AL
Finding postpartum therapists in Montgomery starts with looking for someone whose experience matches what you want support with. Postpartum care can include support for postpartum depression, postpartum anxiety, birth-related stress, identity changes, and relationship strain. As you compare therapists, look for listed experience with perinatal mental health, pregnancy, or new parent support. Some therapists may also list a perinatal mental health certification, such as PMH-C, which can signal more focused training in prenatal and postpartum care.
Montgomery has a range of in-person and virtual therapy options, and the right format may depend on your schedule, infant care, transportation, and physical recovery. Virtual appointments can make it easier to access postpartum therapists beyond nearby offices, especially when local availability is limited or your schedule changes week to week. Before booking, review each therapist’s profile for appointment times, therapy approach, and whether they offer a free phone consultation. Bios can also help you understand how a therapist describes their style and what postpartum concerns they work with most often.
Therapy in Montgomery can be a significant expense without insurance. Using in-network insurance is one of the most reliable ways to reduce session costs and see your estimated out-of-pocket price before you book. Headway helps you find postpartum therapists who accept a wide range of insurance plans, offer virtual or in-person appointments, and are accepting new patients, so you can review bios, compare fit, and book directly when you’re ready.
