About Jonathan Kawira

I grew up in Tanzania as a missionary kid, where I spent most of my childhood. I was home schooled, went to boarding school RVA (Rift Valley Academy) and attended college at Goshen College, in Goshen IN in 2012.

I received my masters degree from Whitworth University in 2022 with a degree in school counseling (M.Ed). I have experience working with adolescents and adults with a wide range of issues.

I am a licensed mental health therapist, based in Spokane WA, specializing in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) therapy, focusing on trauma, stress, depression, and Post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD). Discover the transformative effects of our therapeutic services.
