Connie Rector Kinnison

Connie Rector Kinnison, MA, MFT, is a dedicated Marriage & Family Therapist with nearly two decades of experience. She understands that life can often bring relationships that once flourished to a state of strain and distance, leaving individuals feeling depressed, anxious, or isolated. Connie has a profound awareness of how old anger, boundary issues, financial stress, and the pain of loss can impact connections with friends, co-workers, and family members. As a parent herself, she recognizes the guilt and overwhelm that can come from witnessing children struggle with academic pressures, peer relationships, or issues of self-esteem. Her clients range from preteens to elders, and she has found great success working with parents, single parents, couples, and youth alike. Through her compassionate practice, family members have the opportunity to heal from the lingering shame associated with past trauma, addiction, or losses. Connie emphasizes personal growth and the development of effective relationship skills, guiding her clients towards self-compassion. She has extensive experience working with families recovering from the effects of parental substance abuse, focusing on the dynamics that arise in the presence of addiction. In addition, Connie's background as a teacher for special needs students, combined with her facilitation of anger management groups for men and women, enhances her ability to support clients facing diverse challenges. Through her expertise in mindfulness-based therapy, humanistic approaches, and psychodynamics, she fosters a nurturing environment where growth and healing are attainable.
