Hi, I’m Kayla Protze, a LCMHCA with a Master of Arts from Adams State University. I specialize in supporting adults, children, teens, and parents through challenges related to trauma, grief, ADHD, Autism Spectrum Disorder, and family transitions. I’ve worked with youth and families in residential treatment, administrative, and behavioral health settings since age 19, including experience as a Registered Behavior Technician supporting neurodivergent children and adolescents.During my graduate internship at a nonprofit focused on grief and trauma, I deepened my commitment to walking alongside individuals and families during life’s
most difficult moments. My approach is compassionate, collaborative, and personalized. I integrate mindfulness, cognitive-behavioral (CBT), strengths-based, and expressive arts approaches to help clients build emotional regulation, self-understanding, and healthy relationships. I adapt to each client’s unique needs, whether that’s through talk, play, art,
or movement, creating a safe space for growth, understanding, and connection. I’m especially passionate about helping families strengthen communication, nurture resilience, and navigate difficult emotions.Every person deserves to feel seen, supported, and empowered — and every family deserves guidance and connection along the way.
