Meet Kenzo.
Before he became a therapist, he spent over a decade in Chicago Public Schools classrooms. Then union organizing with the Chicago Teachers Union. Then a master's in public policy. Then another in social work.
That's not a winding road. That's someone who kept asking the same question in different rooms: what does it actually take for people to feel supported enough to change?
He works with people carrying a lot. Parents holding everything together for everyone else. First-generation Americans navigating two worlds at once. Men who've been taught that needing help is a character flaw. People rethinking their relationship with alcohol. People burned out from doing everything right and still feeling off.
Kenzo's approach is practical and honest. He's not going to hand you a list of coping skills and call it a day. He's also trained in Motivational Interviewing, Trauma-Focused CBT, and Alcohol Moderation Counseling.
Outside of sessions, he hosts on WZRD Radio, powerlifts, writes, and plays soccer with his son. He's a pop culture person. He knows Chicago's neighborhoods the way you learn a place by actually living in it.
If you've been waiting for a therapist who gets complexity without making it complicated, Kenzo's accepting new clients.
