New to Grow
Welcome! I'm Kianna McIntosh, a Licensed Mental Health Therapist and ADHD Coach! I'm dedicated to helping individuals facing various challenges, including ADHD, anxiety, depression, women's issues, family dynamics, and low self-esteem. Together, we focus on emotional regulation, understanding how your nervous system responds to stress and connection, and building a stronger sense of safety and trust within yourself and with others. Therapy with me is a space to slow down, make sense of your experiences, and move toward relationships and a life that feel more balanced, grounded, and aligned.
During the first session, we’ll spend time getting to know you, discussing what brings you to therapy, and exploring the challenges, patterns, or goals you would like support with. My approach is collaborative, nonjudgmental, and paced in a way that helps you feel emotionally safe and heard. You do not need to have everything figured out before starting therapy. The first session is simply a space to begin understanding your experiences, identify areas of support, and discuss what healing and progress may look like for you.
hat makes my approach stand out is my ability to balance emotional depth with practical support. I help clients not only understand their thoughts and patterns intellectually, but also explore how those experiences live within the body, nervous system, and relationships. Clients often appreciate that I create a space where they can be honest without feeling judged or rushed. My work integrates approaches such as Brainspotting, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, attachment-based work, and trauma-informed care to support clients in building healthier relationships, emotional regulation, self-awareness, and lasting change.
m best positioned to support adults who appear high-functioning on the outside but internally feel overwhelmed, emotionally exhausted, disconnected, or stuck in repeating patterns. Many of my clients struggle with ADHD, anxiety, relational trauma, emotional overwhelm, people-pleasing, attachment wounds, or difficulty maintaining healthy relationships and boundaries. I work well with clients who are seeking deeper self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthier relationship patterns, nervous system healing, and practical tools to better navigate daily life while reconnecting with themselves.
Brainspotting
I use Brainspotting to help clients process emotional overwhelm, trauma, and “stuck” patterns by working with the brain and nervous system, not just talk therapy alone. It can help clients gain deeper emotional insight, regulation, and healing when they feel aware of their struggles but still unable to shift them.
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help clients identify and challenge unhelpful thoughts, behaviors, and emotional patterns that may be contributing to anxiety, overwhelm, low self-esteem, or relationship difficulties.
Attachment-based
I use an Attachment-Based Therapy approach to help clients understand how early relationships and emotional experiences may impact their current relationships, boundaries, self-worth, and emotional responses. Together, we explore relational patterns and work toward building healthier connections, emotional safety, and self-trust.
Solution Focused Brief Treatment
I use Solution-Focused Brief Therapy to help clients focus on strengths, achievable goals, and practical solutions rather than staying stuck in problems. This approach helps clients identify what is already working, build confidence, and create meaningful change in a supportive and goal-oriented way
Trauma Informed Care
I provide Trauma-Informed Care by creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental space that recognizes how past experiences can impact emotions, relationships, behaviors, and the nervous system. My approach emphasizes emotional safety, collaboration, empowerment, and helping clients move toward healing at a pace that feels manageable for them.
