About me

Hi, I’m Kumalo—Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), behavioral health leader, and Army veteran with over 20 years of experience helping individuals overcome challenges and reconnect with their strengths. My therapeutic style is structured, grounded, and compassionate. I use evidence-based treatments including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), and EMDR to support adults navigating stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship struggles. I work with individuals who are often juggling high-pressure careers, caregiving responsibilities, or the complex aftermath of traumatic experiences, especially military service members and veterans. You might feel stuck, overwhelmed, or like you’re operating on autopilot. Together, we’ll slow things down, clarify your goals, and build practical strategies for healing, growth, and renewed purpose. Therapy with me is collaborative: I’ll challenge your thinking while also giving you the space to reflect, reframe, and rebuild. I earned my Master of Social Work from Fayetteville State University and am board-certified in Clinical Social Work. Before joining SonderMind, I led behavioral health programs across military and correctional settings—designing systems of care that work. Now, I bring that same level of commitment to every client I serve. If you're ready to start showing up for yourself the way you've always shown up for others, let’s connect. You don’t have to carry it all alone.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session, we’ll talk about what brought you to therapy and begin to explore your goals, concerns, and what you hope to get out of our work together. I’ll also ask some background questions to better understand your experiences and how they may be impacting you now. The session is relaxed, collaborative, and focused on building comfort and clarity, there’s no pressure to share more than you’re ready for.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

What sets my approach apart is the balance between evidence-based structure and a compassionate, individualized process. I draw from therapies like CBT, CPT, and Solution-Focused Therapy to help clients gain clarity, challenge unhelpful patterns, and build real-life coping skills. Clients often tell me they appreciate how practical, goal-oriented, and emotionally grounded our work feels, helping them not just understand their struggles, but actively move through them.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

My ideal clients are adults who are motivated to better understand themselves and create meaningful change, even if they feel stuck, overwhelmed, or uncertain about where to begin. I work best with individuals navigating anxiety, trauma, life transitions, or relationship challenges who are open to reflection and willing to try new strategies. Whether you're seeking clarity, healing, or direction, I offer a collaborative and supportive space to help you move forward.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), to help adults manage stress, anxiety, trauma, life transitions, and relationship challenges. CBT allows us to identify unhelpful thought patterns and develop practical strategies for change, leading to greater emotional balance and resilience. My goal is to provide structured, supportive care tailored to each client’s unique needs and goals.

Cognitive Processing (CPT)

I specialize in Cognitive Processing Therapy (CPT), a proven treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. I have extensive experience working with military service members and veterans, helping them process combat trauma, military sexual trauma, and moral injury in a structured, supportive way. Through telehealth, I offer CPT in a format that’s accessible, confidential, and effective from the comfort of your home.

Prolonged Exposure Therapy

I specialize in Prolonged Exposure Therapy (PE) another proven treatment for PTSD and trauma-related symptoms. I have extensive experience working with military service members and veterans, helping them process combat trauma, military sexual trauma, and moral injury in a structured, supportive way.

Psychoeducation

I incorporate psychoeducation to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. By increasing awareness of mental health patterns and evidence-based strategies, clients feel more empowered to take an active role in their healing and growth.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

Using Solution-Focused Therapy, I help clients identify their strengths and build on what’s already working in their lives. This brief, goal-oriented approach focuses on creating meaningful change by clarifying priorities, highlighting past successes, and developing practical steps forward.
