Hey there, I'm Keionna, a licensed counselor in Georgia, New York, New Hampshire, Massachusetts, and Alaska. I'm also a certified professional clinical supervisor, a certified Enneagram coach, a master addictions counselor, and a Level III Gottman therapist working towards full certification. I'm a proud member of the Georgia Licensed Professional Counselor Association. Currently, I'm pursuing my doctoral degree in Community Care and Counseling with a focus on Marriage and Family from Liberty University. I also have an advanced degree in mental health counseling from Argosy University, Nashville, which I received in June 2011. Furthermore, I graduated summa cum laude from both degree programs, including my undergraduate degree in social work from Austin Peay State University in Clarksville.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
At the commencement of our initial session, I would like to hear your thoughts and expectations for our time together. Following this, we will meticulously examine the paperwork that you completed before the first session. This will allow me, as the clinician, to gain a comprehensive understanding of your world, perspective, and the level of support you require. Consequently, we will collaboratively devise a treatment plan that is tailored to your unique needs and will serve as a roadmap for our joint endeavors. Subsequently, I will dedicate ample time to attentively listen to your thoughts, perspectives, and expectations for our ongoing work together, ensuring that your voice remains central to our collaborative efforts.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a clinician who places a high value on fostering meaningful relationships, I firmly believe that establishing a strong connection with each client is absolutely crucial in every aspect of clinical practice. It is imperative to me to authentically support my clients, actively engage with their feedback, and gain a deep understanding of their unique support needs, as this is essential for the overall success of the therapeutic process. The deliberate level of empathy, compassion, and unwavering attention that I consistently endeavor to provide to each individual I serve truly distinguishes me within my profession. To me, this is far beyond just a job; it is my unwavering passion and a profound privilege.
