I am a trained clinical therapist who brings 14 years of experience working with children, adolescents, couples and families. I have experience working with with adjustment disruption, parenting difficulties, relational concerns, and individual issues. During my time as a therapist, I have collected many rich experiences along the way. I find the therapeutic relationship to be a powerful dyad where change and healing abound.
I approach therapy as a relational experience. My style is engaging, eclectic, conversational and goal-oriented. I value the whole person and believe that we all experience healing within a holistic context. My goal for therapy is to create an environment where those I have the privilege of working with experience a space where they can be their true selves and be met with compassion, understanding and gentle exposure to new and/or existing truths.
The journey of therapy is one that I honor and I look forward to becoming a sojourner with you.

These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kayla Bayer. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with BetterHelp might be different.
I have grown so much during our visits. She intuits so many things and has helped me to see different perspectives. Kayla has helped me through some very difficult trials this past year including the death of my mom, a son that failed to launch and issues with our blended family. It has been a year of challenges but huge growth. I am better than I have been for years! Thank you Kayla!

Mrs. Kayla is a true gift from God!
I marvel at how the Lord uses her to effectively communicate and process the situation in words that confirm as if she were in the situation herself.
It's so beautiful and a breath of fresh air. As my first time seeking therapy, I didn't believe she'd understand or be able to give advice for my specific situation, but it really wasn't about that. I enjoy being able to express my thoughts without judgement and receiving support in a way that my friends and family haven't been able to. For the first time I understood that just has God gifts the hands of a doctor, or an artist, he gifted the mind of a therapist and they are needed! I'm so thankful to God for orchestrating a perfect fit for me and my situation. I am thankful that while she was a blessing to me, I had moments that inspired her!
