- LCSW
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.

About online counseling

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.

Kenya is great, she makes me feel heard, she validates my feelings and helps me release all my pent up emotions. She allows me to speak without judgements, & I am glad I chose her as my therapist!
Kenya has been great. She’s listened to my experiences, concerns & struggles. She’s provided valuable feedback and has opened my eyes to a few things I wasn’t aware about myself. She’s also aided me by providing some very useful worksheets.
She made me feel comfortable and I was able to open up quickly with her
She was amazing, straightforward, honest and helpful. I felt supported and listened to. I wish I could keep seeing her as a counselor but unfortunately my schedule has changed. I can't recommend her enough, she really listens and offers constructive, thoughtful feedback when needed!
I've only had one session and it did so much good already. Suddenly after one discussion I felt safe and understood and like she really helped me ground myself in something practical to resolve my concern.
I enjoy spending time with Kenya Evans-Pinckney! She make me feel so welcomed and fully open the doors of expression that I needed to get things off my chest. 30 minutes is not enough time because we get to the heart of the issue with so much to say. Much appreciation to her and her dedication to the wellbeing of others.
