Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Norman, OK

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.

I specialize in therapy for the women everyone relies on who feel like if they stop, everything falls apart, helping them quiet anxiety, let go of perfectionism, and finally believe they are enough.

Specializing in anxiety, sex therapy, and trauma recovery. I hold a Master’s in Counseling and Psychology, am EMDR-trained, and am currently pursuing my Sex Therapy Certification through the Sexual Health Alliance. My work focuses on helping clients heal from trauma, reduce anxiety, and cultivate emotional and sexual well-being through a compassionate, evidence-based approach. Before becoming a therapist, I built a strong background in business, leadership, and process improvement, which now helps me bring clarity, structure, and empowerment into the therapy space. I use these strengths to help clients recognize their capabilities and move toward meaningful change.

I work with teenagers and adults, addressing anxiety, trauma, sexual concerns, women’s issues, and attachment challenges. As an LGBTQIA+ ally, I strive to create a welcoming and affirming environment for every client.

I believe healing begins when people feel heard, understood, and accepted. My goal is to provide a safe, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you can openly share your experiences at your own pace. I understand that seeking therapy takes courage, and I consider it a privilege to walk alongside you during that journey.

As a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma, substance use, grief, relationship concerns, and life transitions.
