About Kenya Evans-Pinckney

I received my Masters in Social Work with a specialization in Substance Abuse from Fordham University. I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with over 12 years of experience working with various populations, such as domestic violence, mental health, and substance abuse. Currently I work at a large not for profit organization in NYC and provide individual and group supervision to bicultural staff as well as provides overall administrative oversight at numerous mental health residential programs. I have also worked as a licensed psychotherapist where I provided individual and group counseling to children and adults with mental health and substance abuse diagnoses.

I provide culturally competent services in conjunction with evidenced based practices. I am trained and practice the following evidenced based treatment models: Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Trauma Informed Care (TIC).

I look forward to connecting with you and becoming part of your journey to create a mentally healthy lifestyle.
