Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?

I originally became a therapist to help others. What motivates me to continue being a therapist is how special it is to play such an intimate role in people's lives and witnessing them put some of the puzzle pieces together to achieve and maintain peace within their own lives.

I am a dually licensed therapist specializing in addictions and anxiety. I am passionate about helping others to achieve and maintain peace within their own lives.

I became a therapist to support people as they navigate through the struggles of life . My motivation is seeing the change a person can make simply by feeling seen. 

I have worked in the mental health field for over 12 years with clients ranging from 5 to 60 . I believe we should be empowered to make the changes within ourselves. 

It is my purpose, my calling.

I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. with an authentic, keeping it real attitude and personality. Not your standard type of therapist. These are difficult times we are living in right now. If your feeling overwhelmed, nervous, stressed, lacking confidence, tired or just stuck. You are not alone.

I’ve been using art in my own healing for as long as I can remember. After spending ten years in direct service work—where I was passionate about what I was doing but felt like I was missing key tools to truly support those I worked with—I decided to become a therapist. I’m motivated by the wisdom of elders who taught me that my liberation is connected to yours, and that healing truly happens in community.

I’m so glad you’ve found your way here! You can call me Mckenna or Kenna (they/them). I identify as Queer, neurodivergent, a “spoonie”, and was raised on the unceded land of the Duwamish people, now known as Seattle. As an ally to those with marginalized identities, I’m grounded in the belief that our collective liberation is interconnected. I recognize how structural harms shape our experiences and healing journeys, and I’m committed to creating an inclusive, gender-affirming, sex-positive space rooted in Health at Every Size, and beyond. My work blends Liberation Psychology and Feminist Theory, striving to be authentic, anti-racist, and anti-oppressive. I hold a MA from Antioch University Seattle, trained in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and Art Therapy and am currently accepting new clients at Playful Minds Counseling. I have experience providing LGBTQIA2S+ and neurodivergent-affirming care to teens and young adults navigating their sexual orientation and gender exploration, life transitions, family dynamics (particularly for children of immigrants and third culture individuals), disability & chronic illness, trauma/PTSD/C-PTSD, and suicidal ideation. I believe in the healing power of the creative arts and will introduce you to art therapy. Whether or not we incorporate art in our work together, creativity can show up in many ways, and I look forward to exploring that with you.

I have always had a passion for supporting others through their challenges. I enjoy partnering with clients as we work towards an increase in general well being and self Fulfillment.

I have a deep passion for supporting others through their journey towards general wellbeing. Through a blend of therapeutic modalities including mindfulness techniques, trauma-informed care, cognitive processing therapy, I work with clients to develop effective coping strategies to overcome challenges and achieve their goals. I follow a holistic approach to therapy and place emphasis on total mind body wellness. I understand that the first step towards seeking therapy can feel overwhelming and I strive to create a safe space where you can feel heard and supported.

I was raised by several generations of social workers and that has taught me the value of community, empathy, and meaningful action. These values can change lives, when offered in appropriate doses at critical times. I have found great satisfaction in helping others find their power and use it to improve their lives.

I'm a third generation social worker who was raised in the lifestyle of assisting others without judgement. I'm also an artist and musician who appreciates all modalities that allow my clients to benefit from expressing their emotions. If you want an objective point of view, empathy, or validation on your emotional journey, please reach out!
