KALISHA BOYKIN, AMFT
THERAPIST | AMFT #141408
Hi my name is Kalisha!
My practice is grounded in narrative therapy, with influences from mindfulness, somatic therapy, and family systems. I enjoy working with a diverse client population, including families, children, teenagers, and adults. My practice is proudly LGBTQIA+ affirming, and I hold a specialization in gender-affirming care. I believe that everyone's issues are significant, including all marginalized individuals who may face unique challenges, as well as young individuals who may have difficulty expressing themselves fully.
When working with children, I find benefit in utilizing play therapy, sand tray therapy, as well as art and music therapy techniques. These methods can help children communicate and process their feelings and experiences in a way that feels comfortable and safe for them. With adults, I incorporate similar creative techniques, but with a greater emphasis on introspection and self-exploration.
My therapeutic approach is a blend of Eastern practices, such as mindfulness and somatic therapy, and Western modalities, including family systems and cognitive exploration. This allows me to tailor therapy to your unique needs as they emerge and evolve.
My mission is to provide a safe, inclusive, and supportive space where we can work collaboratively to address your concerns, promote self-discovery, and facilitate positive change in your life. In our therapy room, we stand as equals, as "fellow travelers" on your journey of growth and healing. I look forward to joining you on this path of self-discovery and transformation.
