Getting to know Zephaniah Mukendi

Hello, I'm Zephaniah, and I bring over fifteen years of experience to our sessions, helping clients navigate through loss, grief, family issues, depression, and anxiety. My journey has allowed me to work closely with family caregivers, adolescents and their parents or guardians, and individuals facing medical challenges. Each of these experiences has enriched my understanding and approach to therapy, making me well-equipped to support you through your unique challenges. I specialize in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), a powerful tool that helps us understand the intricate connections between your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Together, we'll explore these connections and work towards meaningful change. My goal is to create a warm and inviting atmosphere where you feel safe and supported as we address the issues that brought you here. Professionalism, friendliness, and compassion are the cornerstones of my practice. I am committed to helping you find solutions that meet your needs, and I strive to ensure you leave each session feeling better than when you arrived. Whether you're dealing with anxiety, depression, family or romantic relationship issues, or navigating the complexities of grief and bereavement, I'm here to support you every step of the way. I look forward to working with you and helping you achieve the positive changes you seek. Let's take this journey together.

great active listener.
Verified patient
I feel that she was a poor listener, that she misunderstood or just didn't respond to most things I said, even when I emphasized a couple times that they were important topics to cover for me. She didn't ask for clarification, which made me think that she didn't realize that she had misunderstood. This might be unfair, but she was three minutes late to virtual session, and ended it about three minutes early. I get the feeling she may have ended earlier if I hadn't kept asking questions. Additionally I spent a lot of time carefully filling out the online forms asking why I was seeking therapy when I signed up for this session and it was very clear that she hadn't reviewed it. The only thing that she said that was even remotely useful was that I could ask a doctor to refer me to another psychologist to get evaluated for ADD, something which I said in our session and outlined why I was hesitant (cost). Not horrible, but I found her less helpful than say speaking to a friendly stranger
