My name is Khiana Gray Wyatt-Locus, and I am the owner of Teatime With Khi, PLLC. I am inspired by the African American slang “spilling the tea,” which symbolizes the value of sharing one’s truth in a nurturing setting. I believe that when individuals feel free to express their authentic selves, they pave the way for life-changing opportunities. At Teatime With Khi, PLLC, therapy is not about staying stuck in the same cycle for years. It is about creating real change, building confidence, and helping you get where you need to be. The tea is this: Khi is going to help get you right. I specialize in short-term, goal-focused therapy designed for clients who are ready to do the work and see results. Most clients work with me for about 6–10 sessions, where we focus on practical strategies, mindset shifts, emotional healing, and accountability that supports lasting growth. My approach is strengths-based and solution-focused, meaning we spend less time dwelling on what is wrong and more time identifying what is already working, what needs to shift, and how to move you forward. I believe you already have strengths, resilience, and answers within you, my role is to help you uncover them, strengthen them, and use them effectively.
During your first session at Teatime With Khi, PLLC, we will spend time getting to know you beyond the surface. The intake session is designed to help me better understand your history, life experiences, current challenges, and the goals that brought you to therapy. Together, we will explore patterns, behaviors, thought processes, relationships, stressors, and emotional experiences that may be contributing to feeling stuck or disconnected from the life you want to create. This process allows me to identify underlying “stuck points” and barriers that may be interfering with your growth, healing, confidence, or progress. The intake session helps us create a roadmap for meaningful change so we can begin moving toward solutions, emotional wellness, and real results.
My greatest strength as a provider is that my approach is rooted in the belief that mental health diagnoses are merely a part of a person’s story, not their entire identity. By focusing on the whole person rather than just a diagnosis, I empower individuals to unlock their potential and enhance their overall quality of life.
My ideal clients are individuals who despite seemingly having it all, still feel a sense of emptiness or disconnection in their lives. If you are someone who is successful, yet struggling to find deeper meaning or satisfaction, my practice can provide the guidance and support you need. I specialize in working with those who are ready to explore their inner selves, challenge limiting beliefs, and embrace new possibilities.
Other specialties
I identify as
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
At Teatime With Khi, PLLC, I draw inspiration from the African American slang “spilling the tea,” which means sharing truth and wisdom in a candid and insightful way. This concept aligns perfectly with my approach to Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT). Just as "spilling the tea" involves revealing truths, CBT helps you uncover and examine your automatic thoughts and beliefs. This process allows you to see how your thinking impacts your emotions and actions. By revealing and addressing underlying issues, my approach to CBT empowers you to take control of your mental health.
Cognitive Processing (CPT)
I incorporate Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT) to help you work through trauma and distressing experiences. CPT encourages you to recount your traumatic experiences in a safe and supportive environment. This storytelling process helps you confront and articulate your thoughts and feelings about the trauma. Sharing practical advice and strategies is a key part of "spilling the tea." Similarly, CPT equips you with adaptive coping strategies to manage distressing thoughts and feelings. Thus, helping you process your trauma in a way that is both honest and healing, leading to profound personal growth and resilience.
Strength-Based
Just as "spilling the tea" involves sharing positive insights and truths, the strengths-based approach involves recognizing and celebrating your strengths and achievements. With this approach, I help you identify your personal strengths, such as resilience, creativity, and problem-solving abilities, and use these as a foundation for growth. By emphasizing what you are already doing well, we foster a sense of competence and self-efficacy. This in turn helps you harness your innate strengths and wisdom to navigate life's challenges and achieve your goals.
