Florence Kyomuhendo (cho-moo-hen-do), LAPC is a trauma-informed therapist in Philadelphia, PA. She specializes in supporting clients in naming, accessing, and processing emotions that cause them to feel trapped or disconnected in the aftermath of trauma. Florence has a specialization in art therapy for clients who prefer creative expression as a pathway to healing.

Florence believes that each person holds a unique story that shapes how they experience and understand their life. She will help you foster healing through connection, and develop effective coping skills to navigate life’s challenges.

As a Ugandan immigrant who acclimated to life in the United States during adolescence, Florence brings a culturally informed and nuanced perspective to her work with immigrants.
