LCMHCA: Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate

Chapel Hill‍ | ‍In Person and Telehealth | ‍Accepting New Clients

Hi, I’m Kyleigh!

I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate who works with kids, teens, and adults through a person-centered and trauma-informed lens. Most of my experience is in working with the LGBTQ+ community and creating safe spaces where you have the ability to grow, understand, and heal on your own time.

I specialize in working with the LGBTQ+ community and those with anxiety, depression, trauma, and major life changes/transitions. I utilize a blend of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and Identity-Affirming care while also incorporating some non-traditional approaches such as nature therapy and the arts.

I approach therapy as you being the expert in your own life and experiences, and I can be somebody to help support you along your unique path and journey. As a queer therapist, I am dedicated to be culturally informed and community oriented in my practice. Therapy can be hard work, but I hope I can be a supportive partner along the way.
