Prenatal and postpartum therapists & psychiatrists in Kent, WA

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with extensive experience in both medical social work and mental health counseling. I have dedicated my career to helping individuals and couples experiencing crisis. anxiety, depression, life transitions, relationship challenges, and trauma. As an experienced therapist, I work with individual adults and couples to navigate life’s challenges with compassion and clarity. I offer affordable flexible teletherapy with evening and weekend appointments.

I believe therapy is most effective when it feels safe, collaborative, and human. My approach is grounded, compassionate, and non-judgmental, with an emphasis on helping clients feel understood while building insight and emotional resilience.

I am a licensed therapist with advanced training in trauma-informed and parts-based approaches, including Internal Family Systems (IFS). I work primarily with adults, parents, and caregivers navigating anxiety, depression, relationship challenges, life transitions, and the impact of complex or relational trauma. Many of my clients are managing over-responsibility, boundary challenges, or the pressures of caregiving and midlife transitions.

I am LGBTQIA+ affirming and support clients exploring identity, authenticity, and belonging. I also enjoy working with parents of neurodiverse children and who may be neurodiverse themselves. My style blends evidence-based practices with warmth and flexibility, helping clients feel more grounded, connected to themselves, and better equipped to meet their lives with clarity and confidence.

I’m Dr. Emem Nkanga, Doctor of Nursing Practice. I believe that everyone deserves a personalized and compassionate approach to mental health care. I bring over 20 years of experience in healthcare, with a focused dedication to psychiatry over the past 4 years. My passion lies in supporting mental health and emotional well-being.

I work with children ages 10 and above, adolescents, and adults from diverse backgrounds who are experiencing challenges such as anxiety, depression, ADHD, PTSD, bipolar disorder, OCD, insomnia, and more.

As someone who suffers from anxiety, I understand how impactful therapy can be. If you are constantly in your own head, overthinking every decision, feeling anxious, or worrying about letting people down, I can help. You may be someone who looks like they have it together on the outside, but on the inside, you're overwhelmed and exhausted. You might struggle to say no and set boundaries or to stop the racing thoughts you have. If this sounds familiar, you are not alone - and it doesn't have to stay this way.
