Professional statement

Kaylee is a licensed mental health counselor and registered dance/movement therapist. She has many years of experience working with children, adolescents, adults, and geriatric populations. She has worked with clients aging from 6 months to 104 years old in environments such as; early childhood centers, nursing homes, inpatient/outpatient psychiatric facilities, and public schools.

Kaylee provides trauma-informed, client-centered care using a combination of therapeutic approaches. She specializes in dance/movement therapy and other expressive art therapies with clients of all ages and abilities. She has completed training for Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), as well as training to practice as a reiki master. She often uses play therapy with younger clients to provide developmentally appropriate support. She has a strong educational and professional background in human development, particularly stages of development from infancy to early childhood.

Kaylee believes that therapeutic interventions should be just as unique as the people engaging in them. Because of this, Kaylee places great value on building rapport and collaborating with the client throughout the therapeutic process. The use of humor and creativity are hallmarks of Kaylee’s therapeutic practice. She specializes in increasing self-esteem, particularly with clients with neurodivergence.

Kaylee is located at 1130 Ten Rod Rd, Building C, Suite 104 lower level, North Kingstown, RI, 02852. She is available for in-person and telehealth sessions. She is available to meet with clients Monday through Thursday.


Message to clients

Welcome! I am glad you are here. Wherever you are in your healing journey, I invite you to take a moment to appreciate how far you have come. Whether you are taking your first steps or are looking to fine-tune your mental health "toolbox," you have made progress to get to this point. My name is Kaylee and I am a licensed mental health counselor and registered dance/movement therapist. I work with clients to establish, strengthen, and maintain a mind-body connection within themselves as I believe that healing is an embodied process. I work with people of all ages and levels of ability, meaning that we will collaborate to find a therapeutic approach that works for you! This may include the use of dance/movement therapy. Please note: You do not need to be a trained dancer to engage in this somatic form of therapy. In fact, you do not have to "be" anything other than yourself. We will let wherever you are at guide the journey for each session. I hope to hear from you soon! Be well.
