My name is Kayla Bennett, and I am a Licensed Professional Counselor. I have many years experience working with children, teens, and adults in multiple areas.

If you are ready to take steps towards change and healing, I would honored to help you!

Thank you for taking a moment to read my profile! I specialize in trauma-focused cognitive behavioral therapy and EMDR. I work with clients who may be facing complex post-traumatic stress disorder caused by childhood neglect, abuse, or domestic violence. C-PTSD can lead to anxiety, depression, inability to regulate emotions, strained relationships, intense feelings of distrust, dissociation, or suicidal thoughts.

In both my professional and personal experiences, I have come to realize that healing starts in an environment where individuals feel genuinely heard, respected, and understood. Therapy is a collaborative journey rooted in trust, empathy, and mutual respect. Together, we will identify obstacles to well-being, develop effective coping mechanisms, and cultivate the skills needed to achieve robust emotional health and a more fulfilling life. I utilize evidence-based practice strategies to assist individuals in managing anxiety, depression, trauma, life transitions, relationship challenges, stress, grief, and personal development, among other issues. My goal is to foster a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental environment where individuals can freely examine their thoughts and emotions as part of a healing process, progressing toward a state of freedom and holistic wellness.

I have been a licensed clinical social worker for over 30 years bringing broad experience and perspective to my sessions. I believe that joining with a client is paramount to establishing trust. Trusting that your provider cares for you, has your best interest at heart and provides you with reasonable and doable solutions is key to growth. If we don’t connect, no harm/no foul. We agree to move on and I will assist with that process, if necessary.
