Are you someone who finds yourself feeling unseen or misunderstood in traditional therapy settings? Have you noticed that standard, “one-size-fits-all” approaches don't align with your cultural identities, needs, and experiences? If so, you are in the right place, and I’m so happy you’re here. I’m Kamaria :) I’m an intuitive, decolonized, and depth-oriented therapist who enjoys helping people connect with themselves. My practice is built on anti-oppressive and decolonial values, and centers Black/Brown people, as well as LGBTQ+, neurodiverse, and liberatory-focused individuals across all backgrounds. I combine clinical techniques, social awareness, and ancestral healing wisdoms to create a culturally-attuned and systemically-informed healing space - one which allows you to express authentically, and does not require you to code-switch, mask, or defend/abandon the identities, needs, values, or experiences integral to your existence. I take a humanistic, collaborative approach and pull from a diverse set of modalities that honor where you’re at, and help us move closer to who you truly are and where you want to be. I’m not here to pathologize you or your experiences, or convince you that I have all the answers. I’m here to walk alongside you, as your supportive guide, as you connect further with yourself, develop awareness as the expert of your own life, and define wellness on your own terms.
Our first session will be all about getting to know each other and making sure we're a good fit. I’ll ask you plenty of questions about yourself and your needs, and I’ll also share about myself and my experience as a healer. We won’t fit everything in within our first meeting, and there may be things you’re not comfortable sharing until later. That’s okay! What’s important is that you feel safe, understood, and confident in my ability to support you on your journey.
Those who work with me describe me and the space I provide as explorative, nurturing, personable, and honest. I am passionate about restructuring therapy in a way that helps marginalized communities heal from potential traumas that can often be experienced in traditional therapy settings. I enjoy forming strong, authentic connections with the people I work with, and I value bringing warmth, humor, and curiosity to the therapeutic space.
My work is dedicated to those in need of a therapy space where their ethnic/cultural identities, queerness, and neurodiversities are seen, understood, and integrated into the conversation. I find that my specific style of therapy is most appreciated by those who are open-minded, curious, and looking to expand their sense of self. Healing and growing can be serious and taxing work, but I strive to make it fun - if you want a therapist who uses astrology as a self-awareness tool and assigns movies as homework, I'm your girl!
You are a complex being who is comprised of a diverse system of mental, emotional, spiritual, intergenerational, and ancestral parts. Transpersonal approaches help us to honor every one of these parts. With use of various techniques that honor your pace, I help you explore the depths of yourself to identify the values, strengths, and shadows that tend to sit just outside of our awareness. My approach does not utilize hypnosis or mind-altering techniques - you’re simply learning new ways to consciously listen to and acknowledge yourself. This can look like recognizing when that little kid inside of you needs to be loved on, or making sense of those destructive patterns/defense mechanisms that you can’t seem to shake. This approach is most enjoyed by my deep processors and creative folks, and those who are simply feeling stuck and looking to expand their sense of self.
Understanding our emotions is crucial to understanding ourselves and our needs. I am not the therapist to look to if you are wanting to escape reality or suppress your emotions - if you work with me, I’m gonna get you in your feelings! I am also not the therapist who will tell you that your depression, anxiety, anger, etc. is your enemy or something that needs fixed. Instead, I will help you to understand the root of your emotional experiences, as well as what your emotions may be trying to tell you about yourself and your needs. We will also learn ways to sit with and nurture difficult emotions without judging them, dissociating from them, or allowing them to dictate our lives.

She is a breath of fresh air. Immediately she understood me, listened actively and gave me reassurance. I look forward to continuing to speak with her and work with her. She is truly exceptional and an excellent counselor.

Kamaria is amazing at what she does! She is so personable and welcoming and it honestly feels like I'm having a conversation with a trusted friend during our sessions (except I'm getting actual sound advice from a professional lol). I couldn't be more grateful that I found her when I did! 10/10 would recommend :-)
