Maybe you're questioning a career path you used to feel sure about. Maybe a relationship ended, or shifted in a way you didn't expect. Maybe you're adjusting to a new chapter, a move, a new role, becoming a parent, or simply realizing the life you built doesn't fit the way it used to. If you're navigating any of this, you're in the right place. With over 14 years of experience, I help adults work through anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I use a strength-based, CBT-informed approach, so you leave sessions with tools you can actually use, not just insight. I provide telehealth across AZ, DE, IL, PA, TX, and VA.

Whether you're navigating retirement, relationship changes, grief, caregiving, anxiety, depression, past trauma, or simply wondering what comes next, there is hope.

You’re not lazy. You’re not inconsistent. And you’re definitely not “too much.” You might be a woman with ADHD. I specialize in helping women who are tired of feeling overwhelmed, disorganized, emotionally reactive, or stuck in cycles of burnout and shame. Whether you were just diagnosed or have been quietly struggling for years, therapy with me is about making your life work for your brain—not forcing yourself into systems that were never built for you. We’ll focus on real-life tools, emotional regulation, and untangling the internalized narratives that tell you you’re failing. Because you’re not—you’ve just been unsupported.

Immediate Availability! If the idea of starting therapy feels equal parts necessary and intimidating- you’re in good company. It’s a big vulnerable step. Maybe past experiences in therapy left you feeling unheard, unsafe, or unchanged. Maybe you're a first timer. Maybe you’re not even sure what you need, just that something’s got to shift. Wherever you are in the process, you’re welcome. My approach is grounded in compassion, curiosity, and authenticity. I aim to create a space where you feel supported, seen, and safe enough to show up however you are. Therapy doesn’t have to be overwhelming. It can actually be something sacred.

There's something particular about the weight that women carry, not just the hard events themselves, but the expectation to keep going, keep giving, keep managing… I work with women, individuals, and couples who are exhausted from doing exactly that, and who are ready for a space where their story finally gets the full attention it deserves. I specialize in trauma, depression, women's issues, and relationship healing. Using EMDR, CBT, and DBT, we'll work on processing what's underneath (not just managing symptoms!), so the growth you make in sessions actually changes how you feel in your daily life.

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.

In my practice I see individuals who are dealing with all types of painful problems revolving around issues concerning struggles with relationships, loss/bereavement, addictions, mood disorders and anxiety concerns. At times, life can be difficult especially when overwhelming circumstances occur that are beyond a person's normal realm of experience. Learning new coping skills and discovering how to be more self-protective by setting healthy boundaries and limits through a process of self-empowerment is the primary goal in the counseling setting. I work hard with clients to find their best solution.

Lesbian Therapists
What is lesbian-affirming therapy?
Lesbian-affirming therapy is a type of mental health support that fully affirms and reflects a client's lesbian identity. It is rooted in acceptance and does not attempt to change or question an individual's sexual orientation. In this type of therapy, clients work with a therapist who understands the unique experiences of lesbian women. This support is especially important, as research shows that lesbian individuals face higher rates of anxiety, depression, and other mental health challenges compared to heterosexual populations. Lesbian-affirming therapy acknowledges that lesbian individuals may encounter specific stressors—such as coming out challenges, family rejection, workplace discrimination, and minority stress—that require specialized understanding and intervention. Lesbian-affirming therapists often work with clients across all age groups, from adolescents navigating their emerging identity to adults and older individuals addressing life transitions and relationship concerns. Many therapists also provide couples therapy for lesbian partners, helping them navigate relationship dynamics, communication challenges, or external stressors that may impact their relationship. It is important to note that therapists provide 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.

Why should I see a lesbian therapist?
Some clients prefer to work with lesbian therapists who may bring personal lived experience to the therapeutic relationship. Choosing to work with a lesbian therapist can offer a deeper sense of connection, comfort, and shared understanding. A therapist who identifies as lesbian may require clients to give less background explanation—whether it’s about navigating romantic relationships, feeling unseen in certain spaces, or processing the impact of past relationship challenges. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. However, a non-lesbian therapist with strong training and a sincere commitment to LGBTQ+ affirmation can be equally effective. The most important factor is finding a therapist who respects your identity and fosters trust, safety, and understanding. Additionally, many lesbian-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.

How do I find a lesbian therapist?
The Psychology Today online directory is a helpful tool for finding lesbian-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. Look for profiles where therapists explicitly mention working with lesbian clients, or where they describe their approach as identity-affirming, inclusive, or trauma-informed. Many providers will also list their own identities, which may help you find someone with shared lived experience if that is important to you. You can also look for credentials or continuing education in areas such as LGBTQ+ mental health, trauma-informed care, and intersectionality.
