gracefulchange.orgAbout Kalisha
Hi, I'm Kalisha Crone and I’m a licensed clinical social worker who is passionate about supporting communities of color and helping all of my clients improve their overall well-being. My life’s journey paired with my education has afforded me countless learning opportunities that have shaped me into the therapist that I am today. I use techniques such as mindfulness, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral interventions to create a safe space for my clients to process, reflect, learn, grow and eventually go forth on their own. I believe in the power of resilience and I understand that in sharing our stories and receiving the validation that we deserve we can heal the hurt and trauma we have carried for far too long. I care about you, your family, and your story. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity and compassion in every interaction, while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics. Please feel free to contact me for a free consult to see if we are a good fit!

What's your experience with children or adolescents?
The majority of my work in the clinical field has been with children and adolescents. As a former school counselor I have received training in play therapy, trauma informed practices, dialectical behavior therapy, age appropriate cognitive behavioral therapy, and sand tray therapy. Providing therapy to children and adolescents has been some of the most inspirational work that I have done. Children and adolescents are incredibly resilient and able to recover from trauma, grief, and life changes in astonishing rates when they are provided with the necessary resources and tools to assist them. Witnessing the emotional healing and growth of a child is a powerful and humbling experience that I have been honored to have.
What's your experience with clients with anxiety?
As a therapist in private practice, the bulk of my work has been with clients who struggle with anxiety and depression. The thoughts, experiences, and feelings that come with anxiety and depression are palpable and often times when we are struggling through it alone, it can feel like there is no light at the end of the tunnel. Individual therapy is a great tool to address these challenges. In my work with those struggling with anxiety, panic, and depression my client explore the root of their experience as well as learn and practice new ways to cope and respond to their triggers.
Why did you become a therapist, and what motivates you to continue?
The work of therapy, both as the client and the therapist, requires intentionality, vulnerability, bravery, and patience. As a therapist, I have had the opportunity to develop meaningful relationships with a variety of people, many of whom were passionate about the change they wanted to see in their lives. Supporting my client while they embark on the emotional work of healing and self-awareness is both motivating and exciting. I understand the challenges of sharing the thoughts and feelings that we are not always comfortable sharing. When my clients acknowledge their feeling of discomfort or uncertainty and still decide to move forward in the therapeutic process- that fuels my work as their supporter.
For people that are hesitant to try therapy, what do you wish you could tell them?
For those who are hesitant to try therapy, I want you to know that I understand why. Actively participating in therapy can be scary because it requires vulnerability and openness about topics that may be taboo or uncharted territory for you. I understand. In my therapeutic setting, I create a safe space for you to come and share your thoughts, feelings, and beliefs in a space that is free of judgment or criticism. Therapy won't always be comfortable, but I believe it is worth it and your effort will yield results.
