Kerrin Messina (Telehealth)

I am passionate about working with adults that have faced anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions.

I am a Licensed Master’s Social Worker (LMSW) with 5 years of experience.  I received my Master’s degree in Social Work from Boise State University. I am currently working on obtaining my independent licensure in the state of Arizona.  I have training in Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Rational Living Therapy (RLT).

My approach is tailored to your individual needs and desired outcomes utilizing evidence-based treatments that includes Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Psychodynamic theory, Acceptance Commitment Therapy (ACT), and Mindfulness. Evidence-based treatment is defined as a counseling approach that has been rigorously researched and has been shown to make a positive, statistically significant difference in therapy outcomes.

My primary goal is to help you become the best/most whole version of yourself.  I help individuals discover their underlying issues and then work with them to create awareness and a better understanding of their struggles.  You will learn concrete tools to help you cope more effectively and make the changes you want in your life.

When you are in session with me you can expect to be invited into a warm, nonjudgmental environment that allows you to feel heard and understood, while creating space for change. I believe in the idea that everyone already has within them what it takes to live fulfilled, meaningful lives. I am here to help you connect to that inner potential.
