Kawaski Owens

My communication style

I believe developing mutual trust is important for a safe environment. I encourage you to be honest with yourself and with me so that we can work effectively together and get the best possible return on the time spent.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have always enjoyed helping others and watching them grow. I can say that I am glad that I am a counselor and get to work with people from all walks of life; even when the only job I complete for my client is providing a great referral to other counselors more specialized than myself.

My goals for you

Setting goals is a personal choice that I respect as a part of my client's autonomy. My job is to identify patterns and help you adjust goals to ensure achievement. I will provide feedback and then respect your decision-making as long as it does not breach any laws or best practice standards.

Our first session

During our first session, you and I will talk a lot about your past, things you have tried, what worked, and what did not. We will also look at your long- and short-term goals and discuss whether or not I am the best fit for your needs. Lastly, we will set therapeutic goals together and begin working on the first steps to achieve those goals.
