Kenyada Wagoner, LCSW — Therapist in California

Hi there, I'm Kenyada!

Are you struggling with your emotions and mood? Have you experienced a traumatic event? Do you find yourself having a hard time fitting into social settings? Do intrusive thoughts cause daily impairment? Are you unhappy with a relationship or grieving a loss? Does anxiety rule your life? I would like to help you manage these struggles.

My focus

My client base covers adolescent children through all adult-aged clients.

My approach

I believe that therapy meets the client where they are. None of us is built the same; for that reason, therapeutic approaches are most effective when the treatment process is individualized.

My communication style

I adapt to your preferred communication style to create a comfortable and collaborative space where you feel heard and understood.

My journey to mental healthcare

Working alongside professionals, I learned there was a need for culturally sensitive therapists who understand and identify with similar struggles. I strive to make therapy a positive and welcoming experience for anyone who questions its relevance.

My goals for you

Goal setting is most effective when the client leads, and the provider supports. No one understands the client's struggles more than the client. My approach is through self-empowerment and collaboration.

Our first session

Our first session is intended for the client to share a summary of their mental health history and the pertinent concerns to support an outline for treatment. I need to understand your expectations and cultural considerations. These are the first steps of our rapport-building.
