Anessa Kemna, PLPC

When you’re neurodivergent, queer, or disabled, it can feel like you’re constantly trying to meet unreachable standards. Shame, doubt, and overwhelm can make you feel like you’re falling short no matter how hard you try. You’re not failing, though. The problem is the world’s one-size-fits-none expectations. But together we can create new expectations and redefine what success means for you. We’ll embrace every part of you, especially the parts you’ve been told don’t belong.
Here’s some information about me. I’m blind, and I was diagnosed with ADHD during grad school. I’ve been through some “stuff”, which means I’m ready to throw down against society’s BS alongside you. I don’t believe in the word “should”. I do believe in being fully authentic in session. If you can’t cry, curse, and be yourself in therapy, what’s the point?
I know how hard it is to navigate a world that doesn’t make room for you or let you feel safe. But you deserve a space where you can show up as you are, without judgment, without masks. If you’re ready to explore what self-acceptance and real growth look like, I’m here to help. If my style resonates with you, please reach out by phone or email.
