Kevin uses natured-based therapy to create the conditions for healing to occur and to enhance the therapeutic experience. He also focuses on using a strengths-based approach to help clients participate in their own healing process.

Kevin has worked in the African-American community for the last 15 years working with children, adolescents, and adults.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In the first session, we will establish rapport. The goal of the first session is to answer a single question "What brought you in today?" My role is to gather data and explain how the therapeutic process works. I will never tell you how to think, feel, or behave but instead identify the disruptions to your day-to-day functioning and collaborate on how to move through your concerns. I'm ready and willing to support throughout this process with an eclectic approach and a gentle injection of humor where appropriate. We are so much bigger than our issues - so let's build our awareness, together.
What treatment methods and tools do you utilize?
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, EMDR, Solution Focused Brief Therapy, Eco-therapy (Nature Based Therapy) and Mindfulness Practices. My hope in working with client's is to first assess and determine together which method works best for the client.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I use a strengths-based approach so my focus often begins with client's learning about their self: their triggers, their trauma and their innermost desires in life. The goal is to ensure that as client's build awareness their relationship to their condition changes and they gain perspective. As we move through treatment, momentum will come from highly structured - failsafe homework assignments. Client's will also walk away from treatment with a better understanding and appreciation for mindfulness and slowing down enough to appreciate life in real-time.
