About Kahea Sammons

Kahea Sammons, MA, LCPC, NCC

There is always a back story as to how a person may feel or view the world and you’ll never know unless you sit down and listen. Starting out in the Mental Health field in 2012 as a youth care worker in a residential facility gave Kahea has the insight to understand the many pieces of the puzzle in a person’s life. Kahea has previously worked with a variety of populations ranging from adolescents, teens, and adults from all walks of life which has helped her understand mental health is not one size fits all. 

Kahea believes that as a human being, there will eventually be something in life that creates discord, confusion, or another emotion that is new and uncomfortable. Kahea focuses on clients as individuals for what creates stress and anxiety for one person, which may not be an issue for the next. Kahea mentions that the key is learning to accept yourself without comparison on good days and bad.  Kahea’s theoretical orientation is Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and an eclectic style pulling from a psychodynamic framework as well. 

Kahea specializes in working with those who are struggling with: trauma/depression, suicidal ideation, anxiety, and personality disorders. Other areas of knowledge include Autism Spectrum Disorder, adoption, bipolar disorder, mood disorders, OCD, creative persons, and substance abuse.  Kahea is passionate about working with those who have personality disorders because she wants to assist her clients in piecing together their stories. Kahea also has a personal interest in working with creative individuals: those who are the performer or seen as outside the box. Kahea’s goal is to assist clients in accepting themselves even when they’re not on stage, wherever that may be in life.  Everyone has a story, what’s yours?
