Rayme Mkwananzi,

My communication style

I believe in open and honest communication. I like to set a calm, welcoming tone where a client feels safe expressing their concerns. Together, we will identify goals and objectives and work towards achieving them.

My journey to mental healthcare

I have tended to be the one in my friend groups that everyone told their problems to, and for some reason, it just fit right. I have always wanted to help and support people, and social work just landed in my lap. At first, I thought I wanted to study Psychology in college. I ended up taking a social work class and totally fell in love.

My goals for you

My goal is to help clients gain insight, foster emotional balance, and move toward a healthier, more fulfilling life. I want to work with you to develop effective coping strategies and build resilience in the face of stress, anxiety, depression, trauma, and life transitions.

Our first session

I utilize the first session as an opportunity for you to get to know me and me to get to know you. It is an opportunity to go over necessary paperwork items and explore the goals you would like to set for future therapy sessions.

I identify as...

• Female
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
