I am Toshanika M. Kennington, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker with twenty years of practice. My unwavering commitment lies in empowering individuals, families, and adolescents, drawing from my experience working with military service men and their families. With an empathetic approach, 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, addressing their unique mental health needs. Additionally, I have a heart for adolescent females, supporting them during critical developmental stages. I also work with trauma 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. Meeting clients where they are offers solace and support in helping them navigate life’s complexities.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

My philosophy resonates deeply with the essence of healing and compassion. Healing the inner self is a profound journey—one that requires courage, vulnerability, and understanding; and I am able to empower and facilitate healing for clients and become a beacon—a bridge between struggle and transformation.
