“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!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.

Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

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!

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

Reviewed January 2022

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.

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.
