My name is Reanna and I use they/them pronouns. I am a light-skinned biracial (Black & White) nonbinary queer, navigating chronic illness. I received my MSED in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from St. Bonaventure University. I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor Associate, and my clinical supervisor is Dr. Amy Johnson, Ed.D., LCMHCS, NCC. I’m a performance artist, cartoon lover, meandering hiker, loyal friend, and dog dad. For the astrology lovers: Scorpio Sun/Cancer Rising/Gemini Moon.

My counseling approach is person-centered— rooted in disability justice, feminist theory, and an exploration of decolonization practices. The top 3 counseling therapies I integrate in sessions are Person Centered Therapy, Psychodynamic Theory, Internal Family Systems. I help clients build cognitive and emotional skills using techniques from Trauma-Informed Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Somatics, and Dialectical Behavior Therapy. I am currently pursuing a certification in Expressive Arts Therapy. I find that applying a creative or ecological lens to evidence-based practices helps make processing and skill-building accessible for many clients.

I affirm folks from Black, Indigenous, Latine, Arab, and Asian backgrounds; as well as the 2SLGBTQIA+, kink/BDSM, and sex worker communities. Most of my clients are navigating systemic oppression, trauma, depression, anxiety, grief, neurodivergence, spirituality, relationship concerns, ethical non-monogamy, identity exploration, and adjustment to change. I focus on creating comforting spaces that allow clients to explore emotional vulnerability, strengthen the body-mind connection, and practice relational skills. I’m big on providing resources and helping people establish community care circles.
