Welcome! My name is Kiana Shelton. I am a dedicated and compassionate Licensed Clinical Social Worker with over 13 years of experience. As a Black Woman, Mother, and Ally to all marginalized populations. I know not everyone is equipped to hold your vulnerability. My commitment to fostering a supportive therapeutic relationship allows me to guide individuals towards a deeper understanding of themselves, facilitating their journey towards growth and emotional well-being. Together, we can discover the paths to resilience, inner peace, and a more fulfilling life.

What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?

During sessions, clients can expect a welcoming and collaborative atmosphere. I begin by building a rapport, getting to know the client's background, and understanding their reasons for seeking therapy. We discuss confidentiality and the therapeutic process, addressing any questions or concerns. Clients are encouraged to share their goals and expectations for therapy, and together, we establish a framework for our work. The initial session is an opportunity for clients to feel comfortable expressing themselves and for us to collaboratively outline a path forward that aligns with their needs and aspirations.

Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.

Throughout my career, I've honed my skills in empowering individuals to explore their inner strengths and navigate through various struggles. By integrating evidence-based practices with personalized approaches, I strive to foster healing, resilience, and renewed optimism in the lives of those I serve.

My treatment methods

Strength-Based

In the therapeutic space I focuses on an individual's strengths, resources, and capabilities rather than solely on weaknesses or deficits. This approach allows me to emphasizes identifying and building upon a person's positive attributes, skills, and capacities to promote personal growth and resilience. Ultimately this is a collaboration between the us to explore and harness the your strengths in addressing challenges and achieving your goals.

Christian Counseling

I will work to integrate your principles and values from the Christian faith into this therapeutic process. I see your faith as a strength and want to help create a healing journey that does not make one feel like they need to choose between their faith and their mental health but rather find that balance that allows them to explore how your faith can be a source of strength and support in coping with life's challenges. The focus is on integrating faith and psychological well-being.

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I can work with individuals using CBT to identify and understand problematic thought patterns and behaviors. The main goal is to replace negative and unhelpful thoughts with more realistic and positive ones, leading to healthier emotions and behaviors.

Gender-affirming therapy

I completed a nine-month training on Gender-affirming therapy for the LGBTQ+ community. Using Gender-affirming techniques I with with individuals collaboratively to aid in self-discovery, social acceptance, and the process of living out loud with a focus on assisting individuals in developing coping strategies and building a positive sense of self.

Solution Focused Brief Treatment

I have worked with individuals to aid in teaching them how to view goal-oriented and strengths-based solutions rather than focusing on the problems. Taking a brief and practical form of aimed to help my client reach desired outcomes in shorter lengths of time. I typically used this treatment method for those using EAP sessions.
