Ms Harriet Wakini, MA
Licensed Clinical Psychologist
“Feeling stuck, overwhelmed, or disconnected? My work as a licensed Clinical Psychologist is focused on helping you move from distress to growth. I partner with clients to address the challenges of life, such as mood disorders, chronic stress and recovery from narcissistic abuse by combining expert clinical knowledge with genuine human connection. Together, we will clarify your goals, identify patterns that no longer serve you, and develop a toolkit of strategies to manage difficult emotions, improve relationships, and cultivate self-compassion. Healing is not just about reducing suffering, but also about building a life that feels authentic, vibrant and a sense of freedom.”
