Kalen Wheeler
Introduction
I was born and raised in NYC, where I have spent most of my life, with exception to my years studying at Smith College, and briefly living abroad in Dakar and Beirut. During my undergraduate years, I did not study psychology, so my early theoretical background is in sociology. As such, I bring a great deal of structural analysis into our work, with attention to race, class, gender, sexuality, disability, immigration status, as well as histories of colonization, imperialism, and resistance. Before practicing as a clinical psychotherapist, I was a union organizer and a school counselor. My MSEd in Counseling is from CUNY Hunter, where I also taught for years, and my Advanced Certificate in Mental Health Counseling is from SUNY Buffalo. Together, we will grow further awareness of your self, your relationships, your work and your play in this ever-evolving world. Through the process of (re)discovery, you will develop insight into old, repetitive patterns, and find new ways of being. I love hearing bird chirps in NYC, dancing near speakers, and watching latte froth-bubbles pop. kalenpsychotherapy.com
