Meet The Therapist

Chenetta Kirksey, Licensed Professional Counselor

I know choosing counseling might have been a difficult decision for you, but I’m glad you’re here.

I wholeheartedly believe that mental wellness is detrimental to one maintaining a healthy, successful life. Without it, life challenges will become harder and harder to navigate. If you’re dealing with life interruptions or you’ve normalized a dysfunctional way of being, impactful to you and your relationships…I’m here to help you. 

 

I have 11+ years of experience in individual, group, and couples counseling. My treatment focus areas are: anxiety, depression, couples therapy and trauma to name a few. I employ Cognitive Behavioral, Reality and Solution Focused Therapy approaches. I work collaboratively with my clients, challenging their faulty thoughts and behaviors, while helping them adopt a new way of being that will lead them to living life abundantly. Let’s work together to get YOU the life you deserve.
