Hello, I'm Kayena. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and families find strength and resilience in the face of life's difficulties. With a background in clinical social work, I have worked extensively with clients from diverse cultural backgrounds, addressing an array of concerns such as depression, autism, and developmental disabilities. I understand that no two individuals are the same, and I am committed to tailoring my approach to meet your unique needs.
Specialties:
1. Family Therapy: I have a deep understanding of the complexities of family dynamics and the challenges that can arise. Whether you are facing issues related to communication, conflict resolution, or the impact of a family member's mental health condition, I can help you build stronger, healthier family relationships.
2. Cross-Cultural Concerns: I have a special interest in working with individuals and families from various cultural backgrounds. I appreciate the unique challenges that can arise when navigating different cultural contexts and offer culturally sensitive counseling to foster understanding, respect, and harmony.
3. Depression: Depression can be a heavy burden to bear, affecting all aspects of life. I have assisted numerous individuals in managing their depression by utilizing evidence-based therapeutic approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help reframe negative thought patterns and cultivate a more positive outlook.
4. Autism and Developmental Disabilities: I have extensive experience working with individuals and families affected by autism and developmental disabilities. My approach is person-centered, aiming to enhance the quality of life for individuals while providing much-needed support and guidance to families.
Therapeutic Approach:
I believe in the power of collaboration and providing a safe and non-judgmental space for my clients to explore their thoughts and feelings. I draw from a wide range of therapeutic techniques, with a particular emphasis on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). CBT is a goal-oriented approach that focuses on helping individuals recognize and change unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors, which can be particularly effective in addressing depression and anxiety.
If you are ready to embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and growth, please feel free to reach out to me. Together, we can work towards enhancing your emotional well-being and improving the quality of your life.
I look forward to connecting with you and supporting you on your path to a healthier, more fulfilling life.
