Great to meet you!

Hi, I am Keann Pender. I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor, more specifically I am someone who helps facilitate change in people's lives and relationships. I started my career over 16 years ago counseling grieving families through many end of life decisions. Upon graduating NYU, I have worked helping individuals and couples who feel that no matter what they do it eventually leads to stress and frustration.

A bit about my approach to therapy

Do you often feel weighed down by feelings of anxiety or depression? You do not have to go through this alone. Imagine living a healthy lifestyle, beginning each day ready to take on the world, loving yourself and feeling loved by others! My goal is to help you create this life in a judgment free atmosphere. Through the use of therapy I teach individuals and couples skills to help them grow. My success is based on providing clients with the tools necessary to reach their full potential.

What you can expect from our first session

My method is structured and research-oriented with an emphasis on understanding patterns and monitoring progress. I use Solution-Focused and Emotionally Focused Therapy to help you learn practical skills to cope with anxiety, depression or any of life's stresses. Together we will work on strategies to make positive changes. I know from my many years of experience that you have the ability to make positive changes in your life if you're willing to let me guide you through the process.
