I use a trauma-informed and affirming approach. I do this by trying to create safety in our interactions, remembering that you are the expert in your life, focusing on empowerment, and seeking correction and feedback. I also use a evidence and strength-based approach to improve areas that need development. https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fff0fa7043f90379f520326/1613260308853-UC4J011MKHDGH87WYGS3/100_2464.JPG Treatment Approaches - Types of Therapy Adventure Group Therapy Trauma Focused-CBT (TF-CBT) Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing Therapy (EMDR) Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT) Acceptance and Commitment Therapy (ACT) Motivational Interviewing (MI) Critical Incident Stress Management (CISM) https://transformativehealth.net/contact daily 0.75 2025-07-30 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fff0fa7043f90379f520326/80a655a1-4162-4758-81e5-415fb7e81a2f/DSC06053.jpg Contact https://transformativehealth.net/about daily 0.75 2025-05-21 https://images.squarespace-cdn.com/content/v1/5fff0fa7043f90379f520326/1613097197423-YQD9HOU13VE3Y0OPXXDS/IMG_1848.jpg About - Hi, I’m Dr. Kynetta McFarlane. I was born and raised in Washington, DC—the daughter of two Bisons, half-African American and Guyanese, and half first-generation American. This helped me appreciate the beauty of being Black and Proud and being a nerd. As a nerd, I love learning about the connection between mental and physical health. I was a trauma kid, and my strong advocacy for my patients is because I could have easily been any of my clients. I experienced trauma early on and saw how it affected my self-perception. As the oldest of my siblings, I was also able to see how the stress of trauma affected my family, particularly my mother. I try to use this knowledge of how stress and lack of understanding of self can lead to mental health problems when advocating and working with my clients. I'm the daughter of a Girl Scout Leader and a former Leader myself. As an "Always Girl Scout" I aim to leave every situation better than I found it and bring that same perspective to treatment, where I aim to make positive change. I'm a single parent. I began working on my advanced degrees with a 2-year-old in tow. During my parenting journey, my daughter was diagnosed with ADHD. Like many women, I was diagnosed with ADHD after my daughter was diagnosed. I think that experience reminds me that people often have unseen struggles, which affect their behaviors. Like many parents, I felt bad when I was unable to help my daughter; when she struggled, I struggled. I use this to remember how if one member of a family is off balance, it affects everyone. I’m a “stealth queer”, cis-gender woman. As someone who is usually in heterosexual relationships and whose gender identity and sex assigned at birth align, I have privileges that many of my clients do not have. With this, I remember how lack of privilege can affect mental health in seen and unseen ways. https://transformativehealth.net/assessments daily 0.75 2021-02-14 https://transformativehealth.net/virtual daily 0.75 2021-02-15
