Kenny Balinao, LPC-A, supervised by Penny Haight, LPC-S

My clients describe me as:

A caring, flexible person who genuinely wants the best for you. I'm not afraid to help you tackle your tough times, however scary they may be.

Something to know about my approach is:

I believe that each individual is unique and there is no one theory that would be best for everyone. I like to take advantage of your strengths and think about things in a way that makes the most sense to you.

Together, we will:

Figure out how I can best help you - taking culture, family upbringing, and current situation into account. We'll work together to help you process your feelings, discover negative thinking patterns, and manage the parts of life you have control of.

I specialize in working with people who:

are young adults from ages 14+, dealing with issues including depression, anxiety, lack of motivation, relationship issues, family issues, cultural issues, grief, and loss.

I became a therapist because:

I have been passionate about mental health for a long time, and I find no greater joy than helping others through their own journey.

Something that stands out about where I offer therapy is:

Even if we decide I might not be the perfect fit for you, we have other therapists who I fully endorse and believe in that I could refer you to!

More about me and my practice:

We are here to create the therapeutic space you need to embrace and confront your pain, joy, and sense of self. We are fellow travelers working to empower you to make changes necessary to overcome barriers preventing you from living the life you want
