Your life has meaning and purpose! If you’re ready for change, I am ready to take this journey with you.

My name is Kayla Bain and I am a mental health counselor in New York State. The approach to therapy I take is based on the belief that each person is their own unique individual; therefore, everyone's treatment might look different in order to fulfill your own personal goals. I place value in the idea that in order to grow, it is important to share your story. How did your life story make you who you are right now? What do you want your life to look like in the future? As your therapist, i will allow you the space and time to share your story, and together, we will work towards reaching your goals!

My ideal client feels that things may not be working out in their life and would like to talk about it, work on it, resolve and heal. I'm here to help on that journey. You may be dealing with trauma, bereavement, loss, substance abuse, or sexual and psychological abuse, work or school issues, ADHD, relationship/communication problems. During these difficult times, many have unmet needs and feel lonely, depressed and isolated. Most people want release from their emotional pain and greater joy and love in their lives. "My" client is looking to be heard and seen and taken seriously. You want to matter in the world. I hear that.

As a psychotherapist with over eight years of experience, I have been able to help clients of diverse populations with various needs to achieve their full potential. Navigating daily life stressors can be a challenging task, especially when facing multiple challenges at once. Finding the "right" therapist can also be distracting at times. However, if you are searching for a compassionate, dedicated therapist that can help you feel empowered to achieve your every goal and have a more positive outlook in life, then look no further.

Is your child or teen struggling socially, academically or at home? Do they appear sad, worried, or angry? Are they spending too much time on digital media? Parents want to help their child but do not always know how or where to start. In our work together, I can help you better understand your child's behaviors and needs. I work collaboratively with the family unit to negotiate change so that all members feel heard and everyone has bought into a healthier way of life. I strive to provide a supportive, comfortable, safe and encouraging environment that facilitates growth and lasting change.

I am a trauma-informed provider supporting couples and individuals navigating grief/loss, conflict, trauma and transition. I am passionate about supporting folks identifying with neurodiversity (eg. eg. autistic, AuDH, diagnosed with ADHD, etc ). Clients I support often struggle with the impact of stories about who they "should be", questioning, "Do I matter?" or shedding pieces of themselves to create a sense of belonging. Understanding our stories is one of the bravest things we can do. Together we can explore yours, identify your values and strengths, and pursue healing and growth.

It is in these moments of personal turmoil that we often have the greatest potential for emotional growth through self-reflection and self-awareness.
