Hi, I’m Kayla Silguero, a Licensed Professional Counselor with a Master’s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. I work with children, adolescents, adults, and families facing anxiety, depression, stress, self-esteem concerns, grief, life transitions, relationship and family concerns, and emotional or behavioral challenges. I know reaching out can feel overwhelming, so I strive to create a welcoming space where you feel heard, supported, and comfortable being yourself.

Hi! My name is Laurie, welcome to Waves of Joy Christian Counseling. It is a true honor to walk with you during this season of your life. At Waves of Joy, I offer Christ-centered therapy that meets you where you are through convenient online sessions. I have 29 years' experience working with children and teenagers.

You might look like you're holding it all together on the outside while feeling exhausted, anxious, disconnected, or overwhelmed on the inside. Maybe you've spent so much time taking care of everyone else that you've stopped checking in with yourself. Or maybe life changed unexpectedly, and you're trying to figure out who you are now.

If that sounds familiar, you're not alone.

I work with children, teens, adults, couples, families, veterans, first responders, and LGBTQ+ individuals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, relationship struggles, major life transitions, and the stress that comes from simply trying to keep up. My goal isn't to tell you how to live your life. It's to help you understand yourself more deeply, quiet the constant mental noise, and feel more confident in the choices you make.

Clients often tell me they appreciate that I'm easy to talk to, calm, honest, and genuine. Therapy with me is a place where you don't have to have it all figured out. You can show up exactly as you are, and we'll take it one step at a time.

I have a depth of experience as a clinical school social worker for over 18 years. Prior to school social work and private practice, I worked in residential treatment, inpatient treatment and juvenile probation. The majority of my 20+ year career has been working with pre-teens, adolescents and their families. I love working with parents as they navigate raising kids!

Most recently, I have been working more with college aged busy moms and professionals. I also love working with high performing athelets.

For the past 16 years I have also supervised Masters level, clinical social work students. I also provide supervision for those working towards their LCSW.

My husband and I are busy raising our three young children. Being a parent is the greatest joy and there is no other role I rather be in.

I know that seeking therapy can feel overwhelming — especially if you’re carrying a lot on your own. I believe deeply in the strength, warmth, and resilience that come from our cultura, and I bring that understanding into every session.

I work with clients who want support navigating anxiety, trauma, stress, and life transitions, particularly when cultural identity and family dynamics play an important role. My goal is to create a space where you feel seen, respected, and understood, while also using research-backed tools that truly help you move forward.
