I am Toshanika M. Kennington, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of practice. Unwavering commitment, empowerment and compassion is the reason I do what I do! Drawing from my experience working with military families and other communities I offer compassionate care, guiding clients through their mental health journey with resilience and strength. My approach is empathetic, nonjudgmental, and client centered. I specialize in working with women of all ages, trauma, attachment issues and survivors of intimate partner violence and sexual abuse. Remember, seeking therapy is a courageous step, and I’m here to guide and support you on your journey toward healing and growth!
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
As a non-judgmental therapist, I want to create a safe space for those who hesitate to seek counseling and meeting clients where they are at.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
My philosophy resonates deeply with the essence of healing the inner self and compassion. I would like to empower and facilitate healing for clients and become a beacon—a bridge between struggle and transformation.
