Therapy

Individual Psychotherapy

Collaborative, strengths-based work for adults and adolescents — grounded in the specific life you’re actually living.

Dr. Kanaventi has over a decade of experience providing therapy to individuals, couples, groups, and children. As human beings, we all struggle — and the right therapy relationship can help you move through that struggle with more clarity, not less.

The purpose of this practice is to help you become free from the grip of sadness, anxiety, pain, or hurtful relationships — without pretending those things don’t exist.

She works from a strengths-based position, placing value on identifying opportunities for growth and supporting positive change during challenging life circumstances.

“A good first session feels specific. Not dramatic, not transformative — just honest, and slightly clearer than the hour before it.”

What a first session looks like

  1. Request an appointment

    Use the SimplePractice booking link or reach out through the contact form. The office typically responds within one business day.

  2. A short phone intake

    Before the first full session, a brief call helps confirm fit, answer logistics questions, and schedule the first appointment.

  3. The first session

    A 50–60 minute session focused on history, what brought you in now, and what you’d like to be different. No homework, no pressure.

  4. A collaborative plan

    By the second or third session, you’ll have a working sense of frequency, format, and the focus of the work. Plans can evolve — that’s expected.
