Meet Kayla

Kayla is a Forensic and Clinical Counseling Intern who brings real-world experience in residential and clinical mental health settings to her work with clients. Under the supervision of licensed professionals, she provides individual, family, and group therapy using a trauma-informed and client-centered approach. She supports people facing mental health challenges, family system issues, and involvement with the legal system.

In Kayla's previous roles, she supported clients with severe mental illness by providing emotional support, teaching daily living skills, running therapeutic groups, and managing crisis situations. These experiences helped her develop strong communication, de-escalation, and documentation skills—all of which she brings into her work a counseling intern at AmWell Group.
