About me
Welcome! My name is Kaneaster Hodges, I’m a Licensed Professional Mental Health Counselor, helping people navigate life’s challenges. My therapeutic approach blends psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and person-centered psychotherapy to provide tailored support for anxiety, depression, and trauma. I believe in the power of a collaborative therapeutic relationship to promote lasting change, and I work alongside my clients to explore and understand their thoughts, behaviors, and emotions; dreams, fantasies, and ambitions.
Specialties & Areas of Focus
My practice centers on helping clients address the root causes of repetitive behaviors often born from trauma and past crises. I specialize in working with individuals experiencing PTSD, and complex personal exploration. I deeply understand how our past experiences shape our present, and I’m committed to guiding clients through the process of healing and self-discovery.
Therapeutic Approach
I take a holistic, integrative approach to therapy that draws from psychodynamic, cognitive behavioral, and supportive psychotherapy techniques. My goal is to create a space where you can reflect on your experiences, explore the underlying reasons for your challenges, and learn tools to build lasting resilience. Whether you are dealing with the aftermath of a traumatic event, struggling with mental health symptoms, or seeking deeper meaning and understanding in your life, I’m here to help you find insight and healing.
Experience & Qualifications
I graduated from the University of Massachusetts Boston with an M.S. in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and have worked in various settings and roles, including psychiatric emergency, private practice, and as part of an Assertive Community Treatment team. My clinical background is complemented by certifications in CBT, DBT, and CPT for PTSD. Over the years, I’ve developed a deep understanding of the complexities of mental health and am committed to providing compassionate, effective care.
If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I’m here to help you navigate through the challenges you’re facing with empathy and practical strategies. I look forward to working together!
