About Kayla Heline

I am a Licensed Professional Counselor with a passion for helping individuals navigate life’s challenges, build emotional resilience, and create meaningful change. With a client-centered, compassionate, and collaborative approach, I strive to provide a safe and nonjudgmental space where my clients can feel heard, supported, and empowered. I value developing a strong therapeutic relationship and building rapport, which I consider essential. I am known for my relaxed and empathetic approach to counseling. I earned my Master’s in Counseling from Stockton University.

FAQs

I worked with a client who was diagnosed with Stage 4 lung cancer. I was able to create an environment where she was listened too but also where she felt she didn't have to give up and still could do things she wanted to do. The client was able to do things with her children, go on trips, and not let the diagnosis define her. Helping my client create a positive outlook and challenge herself in ways that she thought was impossible. Empowering her and supporting her though the process. The client was able to achieve her goals, work on ways to cope, and learning how to find herself.

In the beginning, our sessions are focused on getting to know each other and understand what brings you to counseling. I like to work from a warm and relaxed approach to build trust and to allow for you to be comfortable. A strong therapeutic relationship can lead to you fulfilling and completing your goals and having a positive experience with therapy.

My first session typically includes building rapport and creating an environment where you feel heard and comfortable. I gather any information which you feel comfortable sharing and we work on developing trust. We will identify the reasons you came into counseling and the goals you may have. It's important you feel comfortable and that we can move forward in a meaningful way.

I wanted to provide a safe space for clients to feel heard, seen, and supported. I wanted people to feel less alone, more understood. My clients should know that they don't have to struggle alone. I like to be a part of their journey and to be someone that can help them make sense of their experiences. My goal is for them to be able to create change for themselves. Seeing my clients become happier, achieve their goals, and overcome obstacles is something I am passionate about.
