I believe in being able to come as you are, as your most genuine self. And sometimes that genuine self is a bit messy and we need support along the way, both which can be kind of scary. I've been described as your "classic millennial therapist with a dark sense of humor". I'm sarcastic and sassy, I tell it like it is, and I'm full of pop culture references. I'm also here to have your back and support you along the way.

I believe that we all have the capacity for healing, growth, and meaningful change within ourselves. My role as a therapist is to help you access that capacity, understand what is getting in the way, and build practical tools that support the life you want to create. I work well with clients who are ready to be active participants in therapy. My clients are people who want support in problem-solving, practicing new skills, and in taking steps between sessions. My background as a collegiate athlete and coach also gives me insight into the unique pressures faced by athletes, coaches, and high-achieving individuals.

Do you keep getting pulled into the same thing? Anxiety, overthinking, or relationship conflict, no matter what you try?
You may understand what’s happening logically, but in that moment, you still react the same way, have the same arguments, or end up feeling stuck again.

As a biracial woman, mental health advocate, and researcher, I am particularly passionate about understanding how systems, culture, and social experiences impact well-being.
My name is Kamryn Buchanan, and I am a PhD student in Counseling Psychology, a master's graduate, mental health advocate, and former Miss Nebraska USA 2024. My passion for counseling began through my own experiences navigating mental health challenges and longing for support during difficult times. Those experiences inspired me to become the person I once needed for others, a therapist who creates a space where clients feel seen, heard, and valued.

My ideal clients are those that don't fit the mold. Someone who’s always doodling when you’re supposed to be listening in class, the teen who’s mastered the fine art of procrastination, or the college student who has a desktop full of tabs and a backpack full of… who knows what. Or maybe you’re just tired of hearing “Why can’t you just remember your stuff?” and want someone who won’t judge you for losing your keys for the fiftieth time. You want support that actually makes sense for your brain, you want to feel less stuck, and, let’s be real, you want desperately to reach your goals, you just may need some help to get there.

I have the utmost respect for lived experience. I'm convinced we are influenced by early relationships and unconscious patterns, as well as social, cultural, and systemic forces that surround us. Experiences such as racism, gendered expectations, economic pressure, and trauma don’t just happen “outside” of us—they profoundly influence how we see ourselves and relate to others. There is a unique pain that comes from trying to survive in a world that often wasn’t built with us in mind. By understanding how past experiences and present social realities intersect, we can build greater insight, self-compassion, growth, and resilience.

Why might mixed race or multiracial identity be important to address in therapy?
Mixed race or multiracial identity can shape how you understand yourself and relate to others around you, so it is natural that this identity may be important to speak about in therapy. If you identify as mixed race, you may find it helpful to speak with a therapist about identity, belonging, racism, cultural disconnection, or feeling pressure to “choose” one part of your background over another. A therapist who understands or shares your mixed race identity may be better able to support conversations about your experiences. A shared background may also strengthen the therapeutic alliance, which refers to the working relationship between you and your therapist and is tied to positive therapy outcomes.
How can a mixed race therapist support couples counseling or family therapy?
Like other therapists, mixed race therapists can support couples and families with a broad range of concerns, including communication challenges, conflict, parenting, life transitions, and relationship stress. However, therapists who personally identify as mixed race may be especially helpful when race, culture, or ethnicity are part of the concerns being discussed, such as when partners come from different cultural backgrounds and are navigating differing personal or community expectations. A mixed race therapist may also help couples and families explore how identity shapes each person’s experience in the relationship. Family members, for instance, may not experience race or culture in the same way, even within the same household. Therapy can offer a space to talk through these differences.
How might I inquire about a therapist's experience working with mixed race or multiracial clients?
The initial consultation, which is typically a brief phone or video call, can be a good time to ask about a therapist’s experience working with multiracial clients. You can ask specific questions, such as “Do you have experience working with multiracial clients?” or broader questions, such as “How do you approach cultural identity in your practice?” As sessions begin, it can be helpful to notice how the therapist responds to your concerns. A good therapist should respond with respect, curiosity, and cultural humility. If you feel dismissed or misunderstood, or if you find yourself having to explain your beliefs or cultural context constantly, it may be worth considering another therapist.
Who is included in Psychology Today's directory of mixed race therapists?
The directory of mixed race therapists includes therapists who have shared their mixed race or multiracial identity in their profiles, as well as therapists who indicate that they have extensive experience working with mixed race clients, regardless of their own background. Not all therapists choose to disclose this information on their profile, and these individuals may not appear in search results for this reason.
