“Know all the theories, master all the techniques, but as you touch a human soul be just another human soul.”― C.G. Jung

Hello, my name is Kenyatta Dent and I am a Licensed Professional Counseling in Mississippi. I love helping others overcome obstacles through goal setting and finding potential solutions to problems that are causing emotional turmoil in their lives. Like Carl Rogers, I believe a clinician should be empathetic, congruent, and have unconditional positive regard. When working with my clients, it is my job to provide an atmoshphere that is conducive to change.

I have over 10 years experience working in the mental health field. I've served as a school based therapist providing services to children with behavior problems. Most of the children I have worked with were diagnosed with Attention Deficit Hyperactive Disorder, Oppositional Defiant, and some trauma. I currently provide individual and group counseling services to male inmates who have been diagnosed with substance abuse disorders in a correctional facility . I also facilitate groups on Anger Management and Basic Cognitive Skills. My counseling approach is a combination of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Person Centered, and Motivational Interviewing.

I currently hold a Master's in Rehabilitation Counseling and Master's in Counseling/Psychology. I look forward to working with you!

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from an online mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

She is amazing

Pleasant and always attentive to my needs. Grateful for her attention and support.

She is amazing!!

Kenyatta is outstanding I have grown so much, she is easy to speak with, pushes my thinking, and has useful resources that she shares and checks in with me about.

She is beyond understanding. I found it extremely easy to get comfortable with her just within the first session. She genuinely cares to help you in the best way she can. I would highly recommend her to anyone.

Kenyatta is very friendly, open, caring, flexible too with scheduling. I highly recommend her as a therapist.

She is a great listener and provides helpful feedback and appropriate resources

Kenyatt is a wonderful therapist. And me and my family really enjoyed talking to her.

Kenyatta was very kind, professional, smart and knowledgeable

Thanks

Kenyatta it's very friendly, kind and was able to establish a good rapport with me that was good. She is open and offers a lot of good feedback which is positive and received well by me.

After much thought and contemplating, I decided to take a leap of faith and sign up for therapy. I had no idea what to expect but rather told myself to walk into this experience with an open mind. I love that I was paired with Kenyatta Dent. She has that ‘listening ear’ while providing an approachable and safe space for me to freely and willingly open up to her. I also appreciate when she asks me those provoking questions in response to whatever I had just shared with her. I look forward to my upcoming sessions Kenyatta. I also make sure to make the effort and do the suggestive exercises which ultimately is beneficial for my growth. After just 3 sessions, I have already noticed a shift within myself and in other areas of my life. I see Therapy is a result of the effort that one puts forth to ‘better’ the quality of your life. You get out what you put in. I’m very much here for it and will always recommend for others to do the same for their mental health & wellness. Therapy should be everyone’s norm. Thank you Kenyatta & BetterHelp!

Excelent

Kenyatta is a great therapist. She understands my concerns and is very helpful with ideas so I can achieve my goals.

She is amazing! She always makes all my concerns feel heard and addresses my concerns. She is the most attentive counselor or therapist i ever had ❤️

My daughter really likes her new Therapist. And as her mom we would like to keep working with her..

She is Awesome!

Kenyatta is very good at listening and hearing what it is you are trying to say even when you are not saying what you want to express. I appreciate her efforts to suggest things to assist me. Thank you. I do recommend her to address your needs

I was nervous going into therapy because I was worried about having a connection with my therapist that would allow me to feel comfortable to open up. Those nerves very quickly went out of the window during my first session with Kenyatta. Every session I sit there word vomiting for 30 minutes, and not once have I felt the need to stop. Usually, I am self conscious about the fact that I talk A LOT. But Kenyatta makes me feel like I have a safe place to be my true self, and work through anything that might be on my mind.

I truly appreciate being connected with Kenyatta. I truly feel that she understands me and why I am here, and I am grateful for the advice and tools she has given me.

She is awesome! She really takes the time to listen and offers great resources and questions to help you process. She makes you feel comfortable to express your thoughts no matter what they are.

Kenyatta is very good at what she does. During our sessions it doesn’t feel forced or like I’m being analyzed. I feel like I’m chatting with a friend and that there’s someone who can understand what I’m going through. Plus, she has solutions and explains things in a way that makes things click. I’m so glad I found her.

I only had one session do need to have a few more before I can determine more but she is a very friendly and informative counselor.

She is so sweet. I am excited to work with her because I know she has so much to offer and I already know I love her personality. I love the safe environment she gave me :)

She is an asset in my support system and in the healing process in my divorce from a narcissist. She is understanding and is comforting when I have anxiety over issues in current life situations. She provides wise counsel.She is spiritually respectful to my beliefs. We are healing root wounds so that the new chapters I face are better then the previous ones.So I dont repeat those mistakes.She gives me tools to help build my confidence to reach my goals and understanding of blocks when I dont. She has been amazing healer,really helping me process the damage and appreciate the growth.

Kenyatta is a treasure. She's understanding, intakes what you're saying and understands immediately your concerns. She's easy to talk to and is down to earth. I wouldn't hesitate to recommend her to anyone I know.

Kenyatta is attentive, compassionate, and prompt. I enjoy her style of processing and her willingness to allow me to share out.

I just want to say thank you to my counselor Kenyatta Dent for her support and advices, l really appreciate her patience and support
