Hi there! I'm so glad you're here.
I'm Kayla Helenske, a Registered Art Therapist, Licensed Mental Health Counselor in WA and Stress & Anxiety Specialist for families and children.
As a mother of 3, I know how important it is for our children to feel happy, healthy, calm, confident, and connected to themselves and the world around them.
My signature method provides families with the tools they need to help their children thrive using Art Therapy, Mindfulness & Natural Lifestyle Integration.
YES! I NEED THIS FOR MY CHILD!
Get started today so your child can move towards feeling joy everyday.
YES! I want to book my free 20 minute consult now!As a parent it's incredibly scary and hard to see our children struggle and feel we don't have the tools to help them.
You're not alone and have landed in the right place.
I specialize in working with kids and teens needing a space to tell their own story and receive guidance in finding their voice and confidence to shine in life.
Parents come to me all the time feeling like they have tried everything to help their child ease their stress and anxiety, but nothing seems to stick...
💔 Their child is just not acting like themselves.
💔 They are acting out in ways parents have never seen before, struggling with impulse control, emotional outbursts or feeling overwhelmed with worries.
💔 They are quietly keeping to themselves.
💔 They are fighting with peers, siblings, and parents.
💔 They feel like no one understands how they are feeling.
For over a decade I have been helping kids+teens in my art therapy work find relief from their stress and anxiety.
Perhaps you are noticing your child's need for new tools when it comes to their emotional and mental health.
I am here to help empower them (and you!) with the tools they need to THRIVE.
My creative approach can be beneficial in helping individuals facing challenges including:
-
social skills
-
emotional and behavioral challenges
-
stress-reduction
-
self-awareness
-
anxiousness/worries
- anger/frustrations
-
self-esteem/confidence
- identity
-
adjustment issues
-
children of divorce or separation
-
personal growth
-
parenting skills; emotion coaching & healthy attachment
Utilizing a client centered, humanistic, strengths-based approach, I draw from a variety of interventions, including cognitive-behavioral therapy, dialectical behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based therapy, art therapy, narrative therapy, solution-focused therapy and heart-centered approach meeting clients right where they are.
Together, we will craft sessions that are right for your child & their healing process. I look forward to meeting you.
I offer a complimentary 20 minute phone consultation session where we can talk, get to know each other, and decide if working together is the right fit for your needs. We can then schedule further sessions or I can refer you to someone I feel would be beneficial to supporting your family.
This sounds like a great fit for my child. I want to chat more.Being able to confidently help our children navigate their thoughts and feelings...
Is the foundation of it all.
When we feel heard, understood and connected we allow parts of ourselves to shine…
This is where the magic happens.
And sometimes words ARE NOT ENOUGH!
Maybe you wish you had another way to help your child express their thoughts and feelings...
Look no further!!
Your child WILL discover a deeper love and understanding of themselves through the healing and transformative powers of therapeutic art making.
One of the most effective tools for helping kids to express their emotions is through Art Therapy.
Art therapy is an integrative mental health profession that combines knowledge and understanding of human development, psychological theories and techniques utilizing the creative process.
Working with a registered art therapist (that's me!) provides a step-by-step plan that teaches you exactly what to do and why, so that you can stop spinning your wheels trying everything and getting lost in the world of googling all the things.
So many families need to stop sitting painfully in the overwhelming state and begin using the tools that work.
I am here to help guide your child in this process.
We work collaboratively to help your child gain the tools they need to thrive! The first step is book a free consult to see if working together is the best fit.
Yes, that sounds great. Let's chat!
