Hi there! I’m Kayla Block, the owner of Spectrum of Growth Counseling, and I’m so glad you’re here. I truly enjoy supporting adults as they explore and understand their neurodivergent identities. Whether you were diagnosed with autism or ADHD as a kid, or you're just starting to make sense of your diagnosis now as an adult, I’d love to work with you and be a part of your journey.
Feeling like you’re “too self-aware” for therapy? That’s more common than you might think! I often combine approaches like EMDR and IFS parts work, which can really dig into the deeper stuff that traditional talk therapy might not fully get to.

I help people find relief from ADHD, depression, and trauma by helping them understand their unique story and how they have come to navigate in the world. We identify what isn’t working and the why behind it. Then, we'll learn to make needed changes and to have more compassionate relationships with themselves and others. I work with those who often feel a deep sense of shame or may never have had a healthy attachment. I partner with those who feel at war with themselves and/or others and engage in negative patterns but struggle to stop it. Ultimately, I help people come home to themselves.

Sometimes the hardest part isn’t what’s happening right now, it’s the weight of everything that has happened before. If you’re feeling overwhelmed by anxiety, trauma, addiction, or patterns that keep repeating, therapy can be a place to slow down, feel understood, and start moving forward.
I work with adolescents and adults for individual counseling. My goal is to create a space where you feel safe, supported, and genuinely heard. My style is both compassionate and direct, because meaningful change often comes from being able to look honestly at what’s going on while also feeling supported through the process.

You know the pattern. You enter a relationship full of hope, and somewhere along the way, the same old wounds resurface the same fights, the same walls, the same quiet fear that maybe this is just who you are. But it isn’t. Those patterns have roots, and they can change.
I work with individuals, women, men, and couples who are ready to understand why they keep showing up the same way in relationships and who want something different. Whether you’re navigating the aftermath of past trauma, struggling to feel close to the people you love, or simply feeling stuck in cycles you can’t seem to break, I’m here to help you make sense of it.

I work with women navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life transitions. Many of my clients grew up in homes where they had to grow up too fast - emotionally neglected, parentified, or made to feel small for having feelings. You’ve spent years trying to be “the good one,” the responsible one, the fixer. You’re tired of overthinking, tired of the guilt, tired of feeling like you’re never enough. If you’re struggling with self-doubt, burnout, relationship patterns that leave you feeling unseen, or a constant pressure to be “perfect,” you’re not alone. And you don’t have to keep doing it all on your own.

Is everyone in the Psychology Today Therapy Directory a licensed therapist?
The Psychology Today directory lists providers who offer legitimate mental health services to the public, including psychologists, psychiatrists, social workers, and counselors.
Many have been licensed by the country or state where they practice; providers whose license or primary credential has been verified by Psychology Today are signified by a “Verified” symbol. Some clinicians or organizations provide services for which their state or country does not offer licenses, such as pastoral counseling. They may be selectively included without the “Verified” seal.

What’s the difference between a psychologist, a therapist, and a counselor?
Therapists, psychologists, and counselors are all licensed mental health professionals. In the US, psychologists have earned a doctoral degree. The terms “therapist” and “counselor” are used somewhat interchangeably, but generally therapists offer longer-term, mental health care, while counselors offer shorter-term care that may focus on one domain, such as marriage, career, or academic challenges.
Clients should consider factors such as insurance coverage and their primary reason(s) for seeking therapy to determine the type of professional best suited to their needs. Someone struggling with mental health challenges such as depression or anxiety, for example, may wish to seek out a clinical psychologist or therapist, while someone navigating career obstacles or marital upheaval may benefit from seeing a counselor who can offer short-term, targeted support.

What type of therapy is right for me?
The type of therapy best suited to a particular individual depends on several factors, including their primary reason for seeking therapy, their preferred timeline (some therapy types last for a set number of sessions, while others are open-ended), and their personality and preferences—some may prefer a more structured approach. For many individuals, multiple types of therapy could provide a good fit.
How much does therapy cost?
The cost of therapy depends on a number of variables, including location and the therapist’s experience and training. On average, a therapy session in the United States could cost between $100 and $200 or more. If you have insurance, the expense of mental health care is typically lower, but it varies based on your insurance plan details and whether you choose an in-network or out-of-network mental healthcare provider.
What are more affordable or low cost therapy solutions?
Many therapists offer sliding scale payments, usually on a limited number of slots, which consists in an agreement between the therapist and a client to pay a reduced rate. Therapists who provide such arrangements often consider the client's income or ability to pay, but the extent of the discount is ultimately at the therapist's discretion. Furthermore, while group therapy may have different goals and benefits compared to individual therapy, it can be a more affordable solution to address certain types of issues.
Is online therapy cheaper than in-person therapy?
Many therapists charge the same amount for online therapy as they do for in-person therapy—though clients may still find this cost-effective if it cuts down on their transportation costs. Health insurance plans often offer equivalent coverage for online and in-person therapy; indeed, in many places, they are legally required to do so. Text-based or on-demand therapy apps may be cheaper than traditional one-on-one psychotherapy; however, the practice may be less effective and is not likely to be covered by insurance.
Is online therapy a good option?
Therapy conducted online can be just as effective as in-person therapy, as long as there is a strong alliance between the client and the therapist. To find a therapist who provides telehealth services to clients in your area, click “Online Therapy” on the directory homepage and search by your city or town or your zip code.
Are therapy sessions confidential?
Confidentiality is a crucial part of the therapeutic relationship. Therapists in the United States are bound by the regulations set out by the Health Insurance Portability and Accountability Act of 1996 (HIPAA), which aims to protect sensitive health information. With very few exceptions, a therapist will only discuss their client with others when the client has given their written permission. The instances in which a therapist would be required to disclose personal information are: if a client poses a danger to themselves or others, if the therapist suspects the abuse of a child or an elderly or otherwise dependent adult, or if they are legally forced to by court order. These exceptions to the confidentiality agreement are usually discussed with a client before their first session.
