Therapists
Kevin Keovongsa, Therapist
I specialize in helping individuals overcome challenges that hinder their development and well-being. My focus includes addressing emotional neglect, parentification, codependency, and setbacks in romantic relationships. With a particular interest in adult attachments and relationship formation, I support clients in building and maintaining long-term, committed relationships.
My goal is to empower you to thrive and achieve personal growth. I believe that learning to become a mature, emotionally attuned adult involves healing from childhood traumas and reparenting oneself. By reclaiming lost or fragmented parts of yourself, you can become whole and embody your true, authentic self. Together, we will navigate the developmental tasks essential for personal growth, foster emotional intelligence, and work towards forming healthy relationships that reflect your genuine needs and desires.
