Getting to know Chrys Kinchen

Hi there, I'm Chrys! Get the insight you need for healthier coping skills and discover your own safe space when you work with me. Dive into self-exploration and release the worries, feelings, and vulnerabilities that you’ve been holding onto without the burden of judgement or criticism. My focus While I've worked with a variety of people with a range of concerns, my primary focus now is working with adult creatives who deal with depression, anxiety, relationship issues, and/or are dealing with transitions that can leave us feeling unsure of our footing. You're NOT alone! My approach In my years of experience, I know that peace of mind comes from a willingness to accept & navigate through the ebbs & flows of life with greater insight, patience & love. There isn't one type of intervention. Some clients enjoy worksheets/podcasts between sessions, want solutions, others want long-term support. Feedback from you is key! My communication style Therapy has to be a space where you can “let it all out”, receive gentle guidance while confronting challenges and truths to ultimately feel better. The benefit of years of experience with diverse groups is that I know how to adjust. With some, I use humor/more casual, but others may not like that. Either way, authenticity comes through. My journey to mental healthcare In 8th grade, about a girl in school who was depressed. I was struck by her story, but also by how key the right support was. It was life-altering. That emphasis on community is part of my journey. I completed my undergrad at the esteemed HBCU, Spelman College, majoring in psychology, and attended UCLA for my graduate program. My goals for you No matter how small you think it may be, every step you take toward bettering yourself is progress, and that’s a vital part of the healing process. I'm not an advice giver. The goal is to leave you feeling more certain & trusting in your perceptions, your relationships, the way you make decisions, and live your life.
