Practicing since: 2018 <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agnes Macharia graduated from Loyola University with a Master\u2019s degree in Clinical Mental Health Counseling. Her journey toward becoming a therapist was shaped by a desire to make a meaningful difference in people\u2019s lives. She is fascinated by how experiences, relationships, and cultures shape how someone thinks, feels, and interacts with the world. She strives to create a space where clients can openly share their stories without fear of judgment. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Agnes tailors treatment to each client\u2019s unique needs, goals, values, and cultural background, recognizing that there is no one-size-fits-all approach to healing. She draws from evidence-based practices, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, and strengths-based interventions, while emphasizing self-awareness, emotional regulation, healthy coping skills, and resilience. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
Working with Agnes, clients can expect to gain greater self-awareness, build confidence in navigating life\u2019s challenges, and develop practical tools they can carry with them long after therapy ends. Agnes helps clients develop healthier coping strategies that foster stronger emotional resilience and a renewed sense of hope. For Agnes, therapy is a partnership where clients are encouraged to explore their experiences, honor their identities, and determine their own paths to healing. She aims to create a welcoming environment where clients can gain insight, build resilience, and gain the confidence to help them work toward the life they envision. <\/p>\n\n\n\n
