Layla has been amazing over through the entire timespan of our sessions together. Even though the discussions and homework can be rather uncomfortable (which is the point of therapy, after all), she approached everything with what feels like a great sense of compassion and understanding.

Welcome to Betterhelp!
My name is Layla, and I am a licensed professional counselor in the state of Colorado. I have been working in the mental health field for 8 years, and I have worked with clients with a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, career challenges, OCD and ADHD. I also helped many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.
I became a counselor because I believe that everyone deserves to be understood, heard, and supported while working towards becoming their best selves. I have worked in military and civilian settings as both a therapist and first responder for mental health crisis. I attended Regis University, where I earned a master's degree in mental health counseling.
I believe in treating anyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I don't believe in stigmatizing labels. My approach combines cognitive-behavioral, humanistic, psychodynamic and rational-emotive counseling. I will tailor our dialogue and treatment plan to meet your unique and specific needs.
It takes courage to seek for a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards a change. If you are ready to take that step I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling
- Affordable.
- Pay a low flat fee.
- Convenient.
- Do it at your own time and at your own pace. Communicate whenever you feel it's needed.

- There is no waiting list and no calls to make. Simply fill out a short questionnaire and send your first message.
Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Layla is extremely professional and insightful. She really helps me see the heart of the matter in an amazingly reassuring manner.
Layla is a good fit for me. I am grateful I found her.
Layla has been central to the best therapy experience that I have had. She always listens and offers excellent insight. She also provides wonderful guidance, as well as challenging homework to help me along the path of self improvement. I cannot believe the progress that I have made, much of which would not be possible without her expertise and ability to guide me through the discomfort of change.
Layla is awesome. She is a wonderful counselor that is full of knowledge.
I’m grateful I found Layla
