Kaivone W. is a trauma-certified intern who supports clients in exploring the deeper impact of their lived experiences while challenging the belief that trauma defines them. Her approach emphasizes reflection, accountability, and personal agency, guiding individuals as they transition from a state of survival to a more authentic sense of self. She believes that healing begins when we can name what we’ve been through and intentionally choose what comes next.

Her clinical work is grounded in several complementary therapeutic approaches:

Trauma-Informed Psychodynamic Therapy: Examining unconscious patterns shaped by early experiences, with a focus on relational wounds and identity formation.

Narrative Therapy: Assisting clients in re-authoring their stories, separating themselves from problems, and reclaiming personal agency.

Internal Family Systems (IFS): Engaging the various “parts” of the self to foster integration and healing, particularly within trauma work.

Somatic and Sensorimotor Approaches: Attuning to the ways trauma is carried in the body, supporting regulation and embodied healing.

Kaivone is an asset to our FOCUS Team of clinicians.
