Takisha Booker
I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in North Carolina and owner of The Kairos Experience, PLLC. I have been professionally practicing for three years. I am trained and skilled at assisting clients in navigating recovery from childhood trauma and narcissistic abuse, effective parenting using Attachment Theory, couples counseling, and treating individuals with depression, anger issues, and anxiety. I currently have openings for 5-7 couples (self-pay only) and 20 adolescents or adults.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session, clients can expect to briefly discuss their psychosocial history and complete an assessment. That is, their mental health history, social history, relationship history, childhood experiences, parental relationships, medical history, and etc. so that together we can determine if I am a good "fit" (i.e., a good therapeutic match) for the client. Then we discuss expectations of psychotherapy and the client's needs on the surface. Clients are welcomed to cry, scream, or vent during the first session. In individual counseling, clients receive immediate assistance with any emotional disturbances they are having on the first day, and after this is addressed we develop a routine schedule for meeting. Clients receiving couples counseling can expect a full assessment without intervention in the first session. I do this so that I can get a full picture of the relationship before any intervention is done. Clients will be asked to review their relationship history, current dynamics of the relationship, and discuss the goals of the relationship. Couples will briefly learn the plan and purpose of the Gottman Method and how this treatment can help them strengthen relationship intimacy.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
I see beyond the mask my client's put on their face and I see them for who they are. I allow my clients to scream if they need to, cry if they need to, and exhale. I have a strong foundation in my faith and if given consent will use this to help assist the client in meeting their therapeutic goals. My own trials and tribulations have prepared me to assist clients right where they are without judgment, but in love regardless of their practices, beliefs, or orientation.

VirtualMy treatment methods
Integrative
I use an integrative, holistic approach to determine what works best for you as a unique individual. That means... if Cognitive Behavioral therapy does not work to treat your depression, I am willing to try mindfulness. The point is... I am here for you to help figure out which therapeutic approaches work best for you. I am skilled in supportive therapy, behavioral therapy, play therapy, CBT, DBT, mindfulness, motivational interviewing, psychoanalytic therapy, and more. Initial sessions typically consist of a detailed psychosocial history and an exploration of your personality, attachment style, and relationship interactions. My goal is for you to become self-sufficient and disciplined in self-care habits, use effective coping strategies, and self-aware enough to ensure holistic wellbeing & healing.
Christian Counseling
Clients that would like to specifically address issues in faith and mental health can expect to discuss spirituality, the Bible, and prayer that can not only treat mental health symptoms but also strengthen their relationship with Jesus Christ.
Gottman method
Gottman method is for couples who would like to receive couples counseling based in strengthening intimacy. I am trained at level 3 in the Gottman method and I am looking for at least 3-5 couples that are interested in improving intimacy in their relationship. This method includes premarital and marriage counseling. Clients do not have to be married to receive couple's counseling. I am trained in treating affairs and substance abuse recovery in relationships as well. Even if you are preparing for a new baby, I can help with that as well. I meet clients for sessions in their homes to provide assessment, intervention, and support.
Psychodynamic
I help clients use mindfulness to maintain and develop self-awareness and reflect on their experiences. I assist clients in connecting with unconscious emotions, and feelings from their past relationships and childhood experiences to heal from trauma and change core beliefs.
