Great to meet you!

Welcome to Stillness Within Counseling. I’m Kenya, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker dedicated to helping teens and adults find resilience and healing. I bring extensive experience in evidence-based practices and a compassionate approach to issues like anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions. My goal is to create a safe space where clients feel empowered to make meaningful changes, rediscover strengths, and achieve a more balanced, fulfilling life.

A bit about my approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth and empowerment. I believe in creating a safe, nonjudgmental space where you feel heard and valued. Together, we’ll explore your strengths, build resilience, and set goals that feel achievable yet impactful. I see therapy as a collaborative journey, one that helps you unlock your potential and gain the tools to navigate life’s challenges with confidence and balance.

What you can expect from our first session

In our sessions, you can expect to gain greater self-awareness, practical coping skills, and a renewed sense of confidence in facing life’s challenges. Together, we'll work to uncover your strengths, embrace resilience, and create meaningful change. My goal is for you to leave each session feeling empowered, motivated, and one step closer to the balanced, fulfilling life you deserve.
