Kennedy Sabelko
Kennedy Sabelko
Kennedy Sabelko is a master’s-level Clinical Therapist and Doctoral Candidate in Health Psychology/Behavioral Medicine with 20+ years of experience in the field. Kennedy’s compassion for helping individuals improve their quality of life derives from his own personal and cultural experiences. Kennedy’s focus is allowing individuals to recognize irrational or negative thoughts/beliefs (Cognitive Distortions), and how they impact emotions such as anxiety or depression, which subsequently manifest into maladaptive behaviors. Kennedy provides coping strategies to decrease and manage negative thinking patterns through Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)-Cognitive Restructuring, and Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (DBT) which teaches Emotional Regulation and Interpersonal Effectiveness skills.

I am an eclectic therapist that uses techniques that are best suited to each individual client. My style is to let the client lead the treatment; however, I do help my clients stay accountable for the goals they are wanting to achieve. I enjoy working with individuals wanting to be their best selves while still protecting themselves. I have experience working with men’s issues, depression, anxiety, sexual issues and other concerns.

Life is full of storms. The ebbs and flows they bring can leave anyone feeling shipwrecked. My role as a counselor is a grounding one: to equip and enable you to find light through the darkness. I work with men and women that have experienced depressions, anger, or past hurts that are causing their futures to look bleak.

You’re used to being in control, but when it comes to your emotions, it feels like they control you. Maybe the anxiety or hurt from past experiences keeps you on edge, or your relationship is strained because of anger, withdrawal, or difficulty expressing yourself.
I help men navigate relationship challenges, emotional barriers, and past trauma. Through the use of various trauma-informed techniques I help you gain control over your emotions and reactions. My approach is direct but supportive, helping you address the root causes of your mental health struggles and equip you with tools to manage stress and triggers.

I am Micheal Franklin with Franklin and Kiai Counseling Services, PLLC where we believe that nobody is left behind and we want our clients to become everything that are capable of becoming. I believe that since we were all children at once that we’re a product of the environment in which we were raised. Many times the things that we’re having difficulty facing is related to our childhood and I would like to have the opportunity to help you overcome those obstacles in your life so you can freely move forward and find happiness within yourself.

The most common phrase I hear from clients is “not good enough.” Many of us come to believe that we are unworthy of acceptance, so we conceal aspects of our identities that others might view as unacceptable and present a fragmented version of ourselves to others. My task as a therapist is to create a safe environment in which you can be your whole self, without fear of judgment. I am committed not only to understanding and validating you, but also to helping you learn how to understand and validate yourself. I am a licensed psychologist providing virtual therapy to adult clients, and my specialties include men’s issues, LGBTQIA+ concerns, early childhood trauma, shame, anger, depression, anxiety, and occupational concerns.

The majority of my experience so far in my career as a therapist has been in trauma, substance use recovery, eating disorder relapse prevention, body image and sex, partnerships and sexual concerns, as well as working with couples, families, and parenting issues. In this experience, especially working with eating disorders and substance use recovery, I have found that what seems to be missing with the recovery process is a sexual recovery component. I feel that who I am, my authenticity, my message, and showing my humanness sets me apart from many therapists trained to be a blank slate for their clients. The work we do in session does not end there and it is not confined to the hour that I actually see them each week.

Our world is undeniably gendered, and there are unique challenges, special strengths, and certain spoken and unspoken expectations that come with navigating the male experience. I create a therapeutic space that is conversational, non-judgmental, connective, and supportive to help you process, understand, and cope with your personal challenges. I particularly enjoy working with men who are looking to use their analytical strengths to expand their skill set in the realm of emotional awareness.

Dr. Aileen Fullchange

My approach to therapy has its foundation in strengths-based interventions that create emotional safety and facilitate insight and transformation. I draw from a variety of orientations, including client-centered, solution-focused, cognitive-behavioral, dialectical behavioral, positive psychology, mindfulness, and body-based therapies, such as Trauma Sensitive Yoga. I take an ecological approach to therapy, considering each person’s unique history, experiences, and communities.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with experience working in inpatient and outpatient settings with adults and teens.

Are you struggling with life and want to gain back some control? Have life’s challenges gotten overwhelming for you? Are you ready for change, but don’t yet have the tools needed to make this goal a reality? Many men often feel overwhelmed and anxious about what they’re feeling and how to make the changes necessary to live a rich, full, and meaningful life.
Utilizing evidence-based treatment modalities like Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT), I believe that change can happen and that the past doesn’t equal the future. You can begin to change your life by focusing on what’s in front of you. Let’s start making that change today!
