Meet Kenn, one of our amazing interns at IHI! 🎊

💛 To increase access to therapeutic care, during October and November, we have been offering subsidized sessions with our interns, including Kenn.

Only 11 days left for our $65/session discount! Book today ✨

Kenn is a q***r, first-generation Caribbean American, Marriage & Family Therapy (MFT) intern with a passion for providing affirming, relational, and justice-oriented care. Rooted in systemic theory and cultural humility, their approach to therapy is deeply informed by lived experience and a commitment to challenging oppressive structures within mental health.

As a Marriage & Family Therapy intern, Kenn works with individuals, couples, and families to explore how relational patterns, cultural contexts, and systemic forces shape emotional experiences and communication. They support clients in navigating identity development, intergenerational dynamics, and conflict resolution, with a focus on fostering connection, understanding, and healing across difference.

Kenn brings experience working with LGBTQ+ communities, with particular focus on intersectionality, trans and nonbinary identities, race relations, neurodivergence, and trauma. As an anti-capitalist clinician, Kenn believes in decentering pathology and reframing emotional struggles within broader sociopolitical contexts. Their practice draws from postmodern, strengths-based, and non-pathologizing frameworks, aiming to co-create therapeutic spaces that honor identity, community, and resistance as essential parts of healing. They are influenced by q***r theory, feminism, disability justice, and an awareness of how capitalism, white supremacy, and cisheteronormativity impact mental health and relationships.

Kenn is especially passionate about empowering partners and families navigating complex identities and systemic oppression, as well as with neurodivergent clients including those with autism and ADHD.

Fun fact: When they’re not in session, you can find Kenn exploring worlds through gaming or curled up with their cat.

Every contribution helps cultivate life-saving access to LGBTQ+-affirming therapy provided by therapists who vigorously study the impacts of marginalization, support clients in navigating its detriments, and often live these experiences themselves as q***r folx.
