Kenia Gutierrez Avelino

My communication style

My communication style is calm, supportive, and client-centered. I follow the client’s lead while gently guiding the conversation toward their goals and areas of growth. I aim to create a space that feels safe, authentic, and collaborative, where clients can express themselves freely and feel truly heard.

My journey to mental healthcare

My journey began with a passion for understanding people and helping them heal. I’ve worked with children, teens, and adults in settings ranging from schools and drug rehabilitation facilities to online and in-person therapy. Having experienced the benefits of therapy myself, I bring both professional and personal understanding to the work I do.

My goals for you

I help clients set realistic, meaningful goals and break them into manageable steps. Together, we track progress, explore obstacles, and build the skills and insight needed to create lasting change.

Our first session

In our first session, we’ll focus on completing the intake process while getting to know each other in a comfortable, supportive space. I aim to build rapport, understand your goals, and create a sense of safety and trust that sets the tone for our future work together.
