Kerrin Messina (Telehealth)

About Me

I am passionate about helping adults navigate the challenges of anxiety, depression, grief, relationship issues, stress, low self-esteem, and life transitions. My mission is to guide you toward becoming the most authentic, empowered version of yourself. Whether you’re feeling overwhelmed by life’s demands or stuck in patterns that no longer serve you, I’m here to support your journey toward growth and healing. 

My Background

I am a Licensed Master’s Social Worker (LMSW) with 5 years of experience in mental health care. 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), both of which are grounded in research and have proven effective in fostering positive change. 

My Approach

Your journey is unique, and so is my approach. I tailor each session to fit your specific needs and goals, drawing from a variety of evidence-based treatments, including:

• Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
• Rational Living Therapy (RLT)
• Psychodynamic Therapy
• Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT)
• Mindfulness Techniques

These methods are designed to help you develop deeper self-awareness, shift unhelpful thought patterns, and equip you with practical tools for lasting change. Evidence-based treatments are backed by rigorous research, ensuring you receive care that’s both effective and impactful.

What to Expect

When you are in a session with me, you’ll find a warm, nonjudgmental environment where you can feel safe to be yourself, explore your challenges and create meaningful change. My goal is to help you become the best/most whole version of yourself.  I firmly believe that you already possess the inner strength to live a fulfilling, meaningful life. My role is to help you uncover and harness that strength, empowering you to make the changes you desire.

Let’s Work Together

If you’re ready to take the next step in your journey, I’m here to help. Together, we’ll work to overcome life’s challenges and help you achieve your goals. Contact me today to learn more or schedule your first session.
