Hello, my name is Kieshara Matthews. I am a Supervisee in Social Work in Virginia. I attended the illustrious Norfolk State University where I obtained my Bachelor’s in Social Work in December 2019. I then continued my education at Fordham University where I obtained my Master’s in Social Work in August 2020. In October of 2020, I became certified as a Qualified Mental Health Professional for adults and children. Prior to entering the field of Social Work, I worked as a Certified Nursing Assistant providing care and support to clients and their families. I’ve always been passionate about providing exceptional service and care to assist people with overcoming obstacles to reach their full potential.
During our initial session I will provide a non-judgmental, client-centered, nurturing environment and safe environment which allows for my clients to process their thoughts and feelings to provide clarity when they need it the most. During our time together I will get an understanding of your views of your issues, explore goals and most importantly get to know you as a person.
I provide the support and guidance you need to get you to the next level. Utilizing therapeutic techniques from various treatment modalities such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Solution-Focused Brief Therapy, and Mindfulness I strive to help clients deal with self-esteem issues, anxiety, depression, imposter syndrome, boundary setting, financial distress, parenting needs, life transitions, and other issues that may arise.
