Kayla Neill

Hi! I'm Kayla Neill, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) and the founder of Grace Bridge Counseling. I believe therapy should be a space where you can show up exactly as you are, feel heard without judgment, and work toward becoming the best version of yourself.

I have experience working with teens and young adults in school, college, and community settings. Over the years, I've supported individuals navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, grief, life transitions, emotional regulation, and the challenges that come with growing up and figuring out who you are.

My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and tailored to you. I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)techniques, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT)techniques, trauma-informed care, solution-focused techniques, and grief work. I enjoy helping clients better understand themselves, develop practical coping skills, navigate difficult emotions, and build confidence in their ability to handle life's challenges. I also welcome spiritual integration for those who would like it to be part of their therapeutic journey.

=My approach to therapy is warm, collaborative, and centered around meeting you where you are. I believe therapy should feel like a safe space where you can be yourself, feel heard, and explore life's challenges without fear of judgment. I don't believe in a one-size-fits-all approach, so I tailor our work together to your unique needs, experiences, and goals.

I incorporate Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) techniques to help clients better understand their thoughts, manage emotions, build coping skills, and navigate difficult situations. I also use trauma-informed, solution-focused, and grief-informed approaches to support clients through past experiences, current challenges, and life transitions. For those interested, I offer optional spiritual integration as part of our work together.

I especially enjoy working with teens and young adults as they navigate anxiety, depression, relationships, identity, emotional regulation, grief, and the many transitions that come with growing up. My goal is to help you gain a better understanding of yourself, recognize your strengths, and develop tools you can carry with you beyond therapy.

Above all, I want therapy to feel like a partnership. We'll celebrate progress, work through setbacks, and figure things out together, one step at a time.

My goal for our first session is to create a welcoming, comfortable space where we can begin building rapport and getting to know one another. I want to learn about what brings you to therapy, understand your background and current concerns, and gather a comprehensive intake so I can better understand your needs and goals.

We'll also take time to review informed consent, confidentiality, expectations for therapy, payment, and any questions you may have. Just as importantly, we'll explore compatibility and make sure you feel comfortable with my approach and that we're a good fit for working together.

You don't need to have everything figured out before our first session. My hope is that you leave feeling heard, supported, and with a clearer understanding of what our work together could look like.
