Kenna has a degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Northwestern University. With a background in communications and expressive writing, Kenna believes that storytelling is central to the therapy process, and that clients and their experiences need to be safe, seen, and heard. In therapy, Kenna invites her clients to explore these stories — about who we are, where we’ve been, and what we’ve endured — with curiosity and non-judgment. Kenna brings a warm, steady presence to the work, rooted in the knowledge that healing happens in relationships, especially ones built on honesty and trust. She draws from person-centered, psychodynamic, and strengths-based approaches to support clients’ goals and honor their pace, while always returning back to clients’ values, autonomy, and lived experience as guiding points in the therapeutic process. Kenna has a special interest in working with clients in their late teens through adulthood, and is drawn to helping clients work through depression, periods of transition, identity exploration, stress and burnout, OCD, and BFRBs (body-focused repetitive behaviors). She is available to meet in-person in Concord or via telehealth.

Elizabeth (she/her) is a sex and relationship therapist specializing in kink, BDSM, ENM, LGBTQ+ identities, and sexual trauma recovery. Her practice is grounded in trauma-sensitive, client-centered care that integrates IFS parts work and movement to support healing through both mind and body. Elizabeth works with individuals and couples—romantic, platonic, play, D/s, or any other meaningful connection—helping clients rebuild trust, communication, intimacy, and joy within themselves and their relationships. Many of the people Elizabeth supports are unpacking religious or cultural shame around sex, pleasure, and identity. She offers a compassionate, judgment-free space where clients can explore these experiences with curiosity and self-acceptance. A TCTSY-certified yoga therapist, she incorporates somatic awareness and gentle movement to help clients reconnect with their bodies and sense of agency.

Passionate about helping others reclaim what has been lost or silenced, Elizabeth often says, “If you feel like your body was taken away, I want to help give it back.” Her work is deeply affirming, collaborative, and rooted in respect for each person’s unique story and capacity for growth.
