How do you work with clients with depression?

Who am I really? How do I have better relationships? What’s the point of life? Is something wrong with me? Where do I belong? Can I heal? Are you asking yourself these questions? Are you ready to find some answers? Let’s co-create a space where you can find your internal compass, release your burdens (personal, intergenerational, cultural) and figure out what real change looks like. I’m here to help you embrace the intricate beauty and messiness of who you are. I bring to sessions boundless curiosity, caring challenges, and commitment to building trust at your own pace, all while keeping the focus on you. I am a trauma therapist at my core, and work a lot with folks who are navigating alternative sexualities and relationship styles (kink/BDSM, polyamory, ace, aro, you name it), living with chronic illness or disability, and exploring their gender (which is for cisgender folks too!). My approach is integrative in the sense that we will attend to your emotional, intellectual, and embodied ways of being. Are you ready to make meaning of your life in a way that integrates all of your experiences? Being witnessed in our whole truth can offer deep healing. I hope our work together will catalyze internal liberation, strengthening our shared path toward collective liberation.

Every one of us is a very unique combination of identities and life stories that contribute to who we are. Sometimes things happen to us that shape us deeply and it takes further exploration and a non-judgmental space to help us learn to change some of those hardwired patterns and build our resilience. I specialize in treating trauma, anxiety, and depression. I have also had extensive training in multicultural, LGBTQ+ affirming counseling and am also Kink - allied/affirming. I am board certified in neurofeedback therapy. I know there are a million therapists to choose from, and it can be hard to choose the right fit for you. If you are looking for a therapist that uses a lot of humor, metaphors, and down to earth counseling style, you have found your match.

Hello, my name is La Shekia and I’m a Licensed Clinical Social Worker; also holding a certification in Trauma.  My love for studying behavior and the mind is what led me to the road of psychotherapy. The approach of Cognitive Behavioral Therapy encompasses the study of how our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are intertwined. In addition, when working with trauma there is a lot of cognitive work to address as we work through the layers of our mind that need healing. But even before we get to those layers we must work on body awareness to understand how we respond to various triggers.    Self-care and Wellness are other important areas of focus in my practice as I feel that these dimensions are always an ongoing piece of our lives that are always evolving. 

Hi! I'm Haley, and I would love to work with you and your partner! I strive to bring hope and compassion into every therapeutic relationship, knowing that it takes courage to reach out for help. I specialize in working with attachment needs and concerns in relationships. Drawing from my background in family systems work, I can assist you in better understanding the impact of your family of origin experiences, and other significant relational experiences in your past and present, as you make changes to your current relational functioning. 

I believe the goal of therapy is to provide a safe environment to explore their life history and learn how to manage stressors, trauma, and mental health on a daily basis. I provide my clients with emotional regulation tools, education on their mental health, active listening, and resources to better facilitate their needs. I utilize techniques from several theories that allow me to bring an eclectic approach instead of a “one size fits all” approach. To have the courage to reach out to talk to someone is an enormous emotional stressor. The fact that you are looking at my profile says you have taken the next step in finding peace within yourself and are willing to be an active participant in changing your life for the better. I work with all general mental health concerns, including anxiety, depression, and trauma in adults. I assist the client in navigating the challenges in their lives and finding strengths to build upon. I have worked in foster care and individual counseling services. I help my clients learn their strengths, overcome barriers and provide a non-judgmental stance on their experiences to allow them to process their pain in a way that is not forced but comfortable and safe. I received my Bachelor’s degree in Social Work at Wright State University. I completed a dual Masters program at Wright State and Miami University in Social Work. I have worked with children, teens, and adults, supporting them through self-esteem issues, parenting, emotional regulation, trauma, and many other concerns and life experiences.

I graduated in 2022 from Lindsey Wilson College in Columbia, Kentucky with a Master of Education in Counseling. I interned for a year at Serenity Counseling in Gallatin, Tennessee. I was able to work with so many wonderful individuals and couples who got their, "oooh, I never thought of it that way" moments. The moments of clarity of all the components that have played a part in the reason they seek therapy. The parts that have caused the pain, self-doubt, worry, anger, sadness, and so on. The parts that made them feel they had lost their way and couldn't find where they fit in the world. It was an honor to work with each person to begin to find their way. I learned so much from this internship; not only how to work with my clients, but I learned so much about myself and why I chose this field to work in.  ​
