Dr. Kenneth T. Washington, LLC.

I am a cis Black man. I am heterosexual. I am from rural Arkansas. I was raised in low-income family. I’m first generation. My background taught me the value of community and resourcefulness. These are the things that shape how I see the world and how I serve in this role. I help my clients create sustainable change by working with them to combine knowledge and skills into purposeful action. A cornerstone of my approach involves "me-search". I believe self-knowledge is essential to insight (our ability to identify, understand, and take steps toward our goals). I draw on my clinical-research expertise exploring meaning in life and liberation to approach healing as an integrative process. My goal is offering a brave and empowering space to facilitate that transformation. I practice from a strength-based approach where I invite collaboration, courage, and trust in the process. I believe there is great value in establishing a brave and affirming therapeutic relationship and space to identify, make sense of, and take action to work toward my client’s goals. My ideal clients are folks who are curious, open to ask themselves really hard questions, and have a willingness to approach change in an honest way. I've successfully supported clients navigating a life transition (academic, work, identity or relationship based), coping with depression and anxiety, and/or healing from traumatic experience. Therapy can take on many forms as a short (1-5 sessions) or long term process (more than a year). I collaborate with my clients to determine what goals they'd like to accomplish and identify a reasonable timeline to work toward those ends. I enjoy work that’s rich and depth-based and this can be accomplished in any format for clients who are interested in therapy that focuses the source and viable solutions. I look forward to exploring how your concerns relate to you, your body, social world, and worldview and using that information to help you make intentional change.
