“As a first timer doing therapy, Kinu provided a safe and comfortable space for me to express my concerns. Can’t wait to see where this leads. ”

“Easy communications and scheduling of appointment as well as coordinating times we meet for the long haul. Kinu is very professional and insightful, was able to help me to make intentional life choices with more constructive outlooks. She has a calm demeanor and is a great listener. Like good therapists, doesn't give you the answer but will ask you the right questions to help you get there yourself. She helped me to process life challenges in constructive ways. She understands my cultural context as a Black woman and that was really important to me, she is culturally competent. ”

Getting to know Kinu Johnson
Have you been feeling alone or stuck? Having trouble completing day-to-day tasks due to feeling down or anxious? Do you feel like there is no one who understands or nothing that can help? If you are reading this, you have taken a powerful first step toward positive change. As a social worker with a Master's degree from Columbia University, I provide a safe and compassionate space for us to collaborate and address your concerns. I use a cognitive-behavioral and strengths-based approach to help identify and overcome the obstacles in your way and empower you to build independence to face them in the future.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I have a strong background in healthcare, so am familiar with addressing issues such as chronic illness, caregiver stress, financial instability, family conflict, and loss of independence in elders. I also offer Mindfulness practices to help ground you and provide a sense of tranquility and stability in our sessions.

It was great. Therapy was different at first, but the more I opened up, the more I got from it. It took some time, but it was time well spent.
