Greetings!
My name is Kylie, and I have been a practicing counselor and counselor educator for the past 14 years. I hold a doctorate in Counselor Education and Supervision, a Master's degree in School and Clinical Mental Health Counseling, and a Bachelor's degree in Psychology and Coaching. I have experience serving a wide variety of young clientele within alternative high schools, private elementary schools, and a program serving youth with diverse special needs. My primary clinical practice has been serving women, children, and families in crisis and recovering from trauma. This included six years in emergency non-profit shelters for clients facing intimate partner violence and comorbid substance abuse. I'm currently a professor in a Master's level counseling program where I teach and supervise counselors-in-training, write and publish research in the field, and present at local, state, and national conferences. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC), Licensed Clinical Addictions Counselor (LCAC), National Certified Counselor (NCC), and a Board Certified-Telemental Health (BC-TMH) provider as well.
My therapeutic approach intentionally integrates various theoretical models dependent on client need. I believe deepened self-awareness is fundamental to long-term positive change. We all have blind spots, and this is often where our most painful pieces are buried. I believe I can help clients increase their holistic self-awareness by shining light onto irrational beliefs, cognitive distortions, existential anxieties, and potential insecure attachment styles. Most people in our lives respond or react to our overt behaviors. I'm interested in understanding the intent behind such behaviors, which is often out of awareness (unconscious). Many of us suffer various forms of trauma, and our brains and bodies create intricate defenses to protect ourselves from future pain. No one is broken, "crazy," or hopeless. Some simply need help understanding why they think, feel, and act the way they do in response to psychological threat. When we feel heard, seen, and validated for our circumstances, the defenses that no longer serve us start to loosen their grip on our lives.

Dr. Rogalla is highly empathetic, knowledgeable and very easy to speak with, which is huge for someone like me who tends to have a difficult time opening up to others.

Dr. Rogalla-Hafley has so far been extremely helpful to me. Frankly, she sold me on this service and I expect to remain subscribed for quite a while so that I may continue my sessions. My only gripe is that she is quite busy, so sometimes scheduling can be tough, but it’s still much more lenient than it would be with an in-person therapist.

Dr. Rogalla- Hafley has been my first experience with counseling. I had never spoken to a counselor and was not looking forward to it. So far I have been extremely happy with my experience. Dr. Rogalla- Hafley has made me feel extremely comfortable and communicating with her is easy and relaxing. I feel comfortable opening up to her and her responses always make me smile and give me a boost of confidence and happiness. I would highly recommend her to anyone needing someone to talk to.
