Kayla Carthel, MS
Counseling Student Intern
Supervised by Dr. Caren Cooper, LPC-S, PMH-C
At Cooper Counseling and Wellness, we understand that accessing quality mental health care can sometimes feel out of reach. That’s why we’re thrilled to offer low-cost counseling services led by Kayla, a dedicated Master's level graduate counseling student intern. With her extensive training, compassionate approach, and personal experiences, Kayla provides accessible mental health support tailored to your needs.
Hello, I'm Kayla! As a Master's level graduate counseling student intern, I specialize in helping individuals navigate challenges like anxiety, depression, and relationship conflicts. My approach focuses on creating a safe, supportive space where you can feel valued and empowered to grow.
​
My background includes working with individuals and groups experiencing severe trauma during my internship at the Collin County Children’s Advocacy Center. There, I used evidence-based techniques like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Trauma-Focused CBT (TF-CBT) to help clients heal and thrive. I also have experience integrating play therapy for children, enabling me to meet a wide range of client needs.
​
In addition to helping clients navigate anxiety and depression, I also offer the following services.
Pregnancy Wellness Support
As someone who has experienced a traumatic pregnancy and birth, I bring a unique perspective to perinatal mental health care. I understand the profound emotional challenges that can arise during pregnancy and postpartum, especially for women of color who may face additional cultural and systemic barriers.
​
Whether you're experiencing stress, anxiety, depression, or navigating the complexities of motherhood, I am here to support you with culturally sensitive, trauma-informed care. Together, we’ll work to foster resilience, healing, and empowerment during this critical time.
Groups for Pregnancy and Postpartum Support
In addition to individual counseling, I will be leading Pregnancy and Postpartum Support Groups at Cooper Counseling and Wellness. These groups are designed to help mothers connect, share, and heal in a supportive community. Each session will provide a space to explore your experiences, build connections, and gain tools for navigating the joys and challenges of motherhood.
