McKenna Huynh
By way of background, I have lived in the Bay Area for the past twenty years, having previously spent my childhood in the Pacific Northwest and my adolescent years in New England. This broad geographical background gives me a well-rounded perspective.
I meet my clients wherever they are in their journey, focusing directly on your goals and what a successful session looks like to you.
Professionally, I worked as a domestic violence counselor before spending over ten years as a Child Protective Services social worker. After taking time away from my career to care for my two children, I am now eager to return to the workforce. In my personal time, I enjoy CrossFit, traveling, and spending time with my family and friends.
First session
My hope for our first session is to create a comfortable and safe space where you feel heard. I look forward to learning about your goals for therapy so I can better understand what you are seeking and how my skill set can support you.
Strengths
I meet my clients wherever they are in their journey, focusing directly on your goals and what a successful session looks like to you. My approach provides a safe, supportive space while also helping to constructively challenge unhelpful thoughts to achieve your goals.
Ideal clients
My ideal client is someone who actively chooses to better themselves, even if that simply means taking the very first step of deciding to start therapy. Life is full of challenges, and my goal is to help clients learn the skills and tools needed to navigate those difficulties while recognizing their own strengths. I want to make sure we gain a deep understanding of who they are today, as well as the key experiences and factors in their life that shaped them into the person they are now.
Treatment methods
Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)
Our thoughts and feelings make us who we are. I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to understand our thoughts and feelings and to question if these are helping or hindering your life.
