What is therapy like? What does a typical session with you look like?

I'm Khameelah Tomlin, LCSW-C, a dedicated mental health professional with a passion for empowering individuals on their unique journeys towards healing and growth. With over 10 years of experience, I have honed my skills in providing compassionate and evidence-based mental health care to diverse populations. My commitment to serving underserved and underrepresented communities has driven my work as an author, public speaker, and mental health consultant. I've authored four trauma workbooks that offer practical tools and insights for individuals and practitioners navigating the complexities of trauma recovery. As a sought-after public speaker, I've had the privilege of sharing my expertise on trauma, resilience, and mental health at various conferences, workshops, and events. I believe in fostering open conversations that reduce stigma and increase awareness around mental health issues. My goal is to create a safe and supportive space where individuals feel empowered to embark on their healing journeys. In addition to my speaking engagements and writing endeavors, I am the proud owner and operator of Flowidity Counseling. My practice specializes in trauma care for Military Veterans, African American communities, and immigrants. I approach therapy with a holistic perspective, considering the unique needs and experiences of each individual. Together, we work to develop coping strategies, explore healing modalities, and cultivate resilience. Currently pursuing a Ph.D. in International Psychology from the prestigious Chicago School of Professional Psychology in the District of Columbia, I am committed to advancing my knowledge and skills to better serve those in need. My academic pursuits complement my real-world experiences, allowing me to offer a well-rounded approach to mental health care. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in various capacities, including as the Director of Mental Health Services. In this role, I ensured that unaccompanied children received the clinical care they deserved. My ability to manage complex programs, provide comprehensive case management, and uphold the highest standards of quality has shaped my approach to effective mental health interventions. I am excited to connect with fellow providers, collaborate on innovative approaches to mental health care, and contribute to the positive transformation of lives. Thank you for visiting my profile on MintLeaf.co. If you're seeking a compassionate, experienced, and dedicated mental health professional, I look forward to connecting with you and being a part of your journey towards healing and well-being.

I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker ready to help you through challenges you are facing and/or any events in your life that have left you confused, scared, sad or hurt. I offer a mindful, evidence based, trauma-aware perspective with a down-to-earth approach. I use EMDR, ACT and CBT as some of the modalities for treatment. I strive to create safe and non-judgmental space where you can show up and be your authentic self and heal. My goal is to give you tools you can use in your life, way after therapy is over and build on your innate resilience. I am fluent in Spanish & culturally sensitive. I believe in inclusion and respect. Areas of concern I work with are: Trauma, Grief, Anxiety, Sexual Abuse, Depression & Domestic Violence. Accepting self-pay clients. (HSA/FSA cards accepted and can provide a super bill for insurance.)

 I help people manage life’s transitions with less worry. Anxiety can often cloud our sense of who we are and make relationships and decisions difficult. With support and tools, together we can work to find coping strategies and sort through the tricky parts of being human. It is my goal to provide a warm, compassionate, sometimes humor-filled space to do this emotional work. I work from a supportive, client-centered, strength- based perspective. I have training in Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and am a Certified Clinical Anxiety Treatment Professional.  

Rapport building is important to me so the client is comfortable with sharing his/her life stories. Serving diverse populations of clients to evaluate individual needs. My counseling style is warm and genuine.

Do you feel stuck in your relationship? Disconnected? I believe the potential for happiness and fulfillment in both one's relationship with themselves and others is universal. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy I have been able to help couples/individuals move beyond negative patterns that often leave one stuck which often leads to anger, resentment and self-criticism. Have you experienced a traumatic event and are looking to heal? EMDR is a therapy designed to resolve unprocessed traumatic memories. EMDR enables people to heal from the symptoms and emotional distress that are the result of disturbing life experiences. Therapeutic modalities like EFT and EMDR can be a wonderful therapeutic approach for healing. I am committed to creating a safe, respectful and non-judgmental environment. I look forward to working with you to help break debilitating cycles, whether you are seeking support for marital conflict, grief, trauma, anxiety. I am committed to you and your growth. TRAINED: Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT). EMDR Certified Therapist - Member of EMDRIA - EMDR International Association.

EMDR trauma and anxiety therapist based in Los Angeles California. I help people overcome anxiety and depression rooted in trauma.

Will Dempsey is the founder of Heads Held High Counseling. He started this practice with a simple goal: to help people. Over time, he realized how often the healthcare system gets in the way of that. Insurances don’t pay providers enough to make a livable wage, but charging what’s fair for therapists can make care unaffordable for clients. It’s a broken system, and he wanted to do something about it. That’s why he expanded into a group practice. By bringing together a talented team, we’re able to push for higher insurance rates while still providing care that’s accessible—especially for marginalized communities that are often priced out of mental health services. Our team also specializes in culturally competent care. As members of the queer community ourselves, we have a deeper understanding of what it means to live as a queer person and the unique challenges that come with it. While he's no longer seeing clients directly, he pours his heart into running this team because he believes in our mission. We strive to meet you where you’re at and guide you toward reaching your goals—whatever they may be. Having been in therapy himself for over 10 years, he understands how frustrating it can be to navigate insurance and mental health care. That perspective drives me to reduce as many barriers to care as possible. Outside of work, he's a drag performer — a passion that reflects his values as a social worker. Both drag and social work are about fighting for social and political justice, and they inspire him to keep showing up for the communities he cares about.

I know many are facing increased anxiety and major changes in lifestyle during these uncertain times, and I want to make sure you have support. If you are a college student that has unexpectedly been sent home and is now having to adjust to online classes and boundaries with family, a young professional working from home struggling to create work-life balance, or a veterinarian/animal care professional dealing with the chronic stress of a taxing job plus now reduced staff,setting boundaries with the public and risking your health – I want to help you work through the impact this pandemic is having on your life. I enjoy helping young adults (20's-30's ) increase self-acceptance, learn new habits,& create a meaningful life in a nonjudgmental space.  I also have a special interest in working with animal care professionals (veterinarians, vet techs, wildlife rehabilitators, etc) to combat burnout, compassion fatigue, vicarious trauma, depression, & suicidal thoughts.  I specialize in equine-assisted psychotherapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), Cognitive Behavior Therapy (CBT) & mindfulness skills - all of which can help you make the changes in life you're looking for. Online sessions available. Visit my website or email today to learn more!

I am a licensed professional counselor with over seven years of experience. I obtained my undergraduate degree from Texas A&M and Masters degree from the University of Houston - Clear Lake. I believe everyone has the ability to live a happy, healthy and fulfilling life. My job is to help you uncover the tools and skills to assist you in living your best and most fulfilling life. 

As a counselor, I don’t do “psychobabble.” I have a straight-talking and common sense approach to life’s problems. It is my job to help you find a way to make adjustments in your daily life that will help you improve decision making, find solutions to problems, and develop and maintain relationships with frank and honest communication.
