I work with individuals, couples, and families who’ve lost their way to themselves, each other, or their sense of purpose— and are ready to do the inner work to reconnect and thrive. Rooted in systems theory and trauma-informed care, I see each person as part of a larger network: family, relationships, community, and culture. All of which shape our inner world. Here, your whole story is welcome. We will work collaboratively to identify where these systems may need nourishment. Please note I no longer accept insurance for couples/family therapy. I offer sliding scale options for private pay.

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.

My ideal client is someone who feels overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected whether that disconnection is from their partner, their past, or even themselves. They may be working through the effects of trauma, struggling with patterns related to substance use, or feeling lost in the dynamics of their relationships. At their core, they’re seeking relief, clarity, and the reassurance that they’re not alone in their experience. They want to feel grounded, reconnected, and more in tune with who they truly are.

Relationships and life in general can be stressful, frustrating, and disappointing. We are often taught to work more, give everything, try harder and keep going at all costs. But for many of us, this becomes a never-ending cycle of exhaustion that can lead to anxiety and depression. My goal is to provide you with a safe and collaborative environment to help you develop the confidence to get what you want out of your life. I am passionate about self-care and I believe caring for your mental health should be given the same attention as caring for your physical health.

You're the one everyone relies on—smart, high-achieving, always holding it together. But under the surface? You’re overthinking, exhausted, and constantly “on.” You’re managing anxiety with productivity, perfectionism with people-pleasing, and burnout with late-night catch-up loops. You want relief that actually works—tools that match your brain, boundaries that hold, and space to stop feeling like you’re failing at “doing it all.” You’re not lazy or broken. You’re just done pretending.

Bisexual Therapists

What is bisexual-affirming therapy?

Bisexual-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client’s bisexual identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual’s orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of bisexual people. This support is especially important, as research shows that bisexual individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and suicidal ideation compared to other groups. Bisexual-affirming therapy acknowledges that bisexual individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as invalidation, relationship challenges, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for bisexual partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship.

While not required, some clients prefer working with bisexual therapists who may bring personal insight to the therapeutic relationship. However, a non-bisexual therapist with strong training and a genuine commitment to affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who understands how identity impacts mental health and can create a space of trust and respect.

What can a bisexual therapist help with?

Bisexual-affirming therapists can provide support across a wide range of concerns relevant to bisexual individuals. Whether through personal or professional experience, they often have specialized knowledge in areas such as the coming out process, navigating stereotypes, and dealing with common stressors. Relationship support is another key area of focus, as bisexual clients may face unique challenge when dating or maintaining relationships across genders. Affirming therapists can also help clients build coping strategies for managing discrimination or stigma.

Additionally, many bisexual-affirming therapists can connect clients to other providers or community-based resources—such as bisexual support groups or LGBTQ+ organizations—that offer additional affirming spaces for connection. It's important to note that therapists provide can talk therapy and counseling services but do not prescribe medication—if medication is needed for conditions like depression or anxiety, they will coordinate care with a psychiatrist or primary care physician who can provide psychiatric medication management alongside therapeutic support.

How do I find a bisexual therapist?

The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding bisexual-affirming therapists. You can use search filters to identify therapists who specialize in LGBTQ+ care and work specifically with bisexual clients. You can also filter by clinical specialties, therapeutic approaches, accepted insurance, session costs, and languages spoken to find the right fit.

During initial consultations or early sessions, ask potential therapists about their specific training in bisexual-affirming care, their experience with LGBTQ+ clients, and their therapeutic approach to identity-related concerns. An effective bisexual-affirming therapist will demonstrate genuine understanding of bisexual experiences, including awareness of the unique challenges facing bisexual individuals. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
