Hi, I'm Kalisha, a clinical social worker licensed in California and Texas. Are you feeling an increase in stress or anxiety that feels like it is too much to carry on your own? Do you seem to lose motivation or energy for things you enjoy? Are you struggling with healing after a traumatic life event? If you answered yes to any of these questions, you have made the right choice by making this important decision to start therapy. I know seeking help can be tricky. You’ve likely been debating seeking help for months, if not years, but I'm so glad you have taken the courageous step of being here, and I am ready to hold space for you. I support clients struggling with anxiety and depression process their thoughts and feelings so that they can learn safe and healthy coping skills to respond to those challenging experiences. I use cognitive behavioral interventions, talk therapy, and mindfulness. My clients' desire to heal, learn, and grow motivates me. Healing is sacred, and I provide a safe space for you to share your experiences, process the impact, and release your stress so you can be present.

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

In our first session, you can expect a welcoming and supportive space where we’ll begin to get to know each other and explore what brings you to therapy. We'll focus on building rapport and creating a strong foundation for a therapeutic relationship based on mutual respect and understanding. I’ll ask questions to learn more about your experiences, goals, and the challenges you’re facing while also inviting you to share what you’re comfortable with at your own pace. This session is an opportunity to outline how we can work together and to ensure you feel heard and valued. Together, we’ll begin to set the stage for meaningful growth and positive change.

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

I'm passionate about supporting communities of color and helping my clients improve their well-being. My life’s journey and education have afforded me countless learning opportunities that have shaped me into the therapist I am today. I use techniques such as mindfulness, client-centered therapy, and cognitive behavioral interventions to create a safe space for my clients to process, reflect, learn, grow, and eventually go on their own. I believe in the power of resilience, and I understand that by sharing our stories and receiving the validation we deserve, we can heal the hurt and trauma we have carried for far too long. I care about you, your family, and your story. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity, and compassion.

My treatment methods

Cognitive Behavioral (CBT)

I use techniques such as mindfulness and cognitive behavioral interventions to create a safe space for my clients to process, reflect, learn, grow, and eventually go on their own. In sessions, you can expect to learn the connection between your thoughts, emotions, and behaviors. At the same time, you can work toward interrupting the unhelpful patterns you may engage in so you can replace them with strategies that can support the implementation of safe and healthy coping skills.

Strength-Based

I believe in the power of resilience and I understand that by sharing our stories and receiving the validation that we deserve we can heal the hurt and trauma we have carried for far too long. I care about you, your family, and your story. We often do the best we can with the skills we have even if it doesn't consistently serve us. In our work together, you can expect validation of efforts and experiences while being encouraged to utilize the tools learned in sessions. You can trust that I will treat you with respect, dignity, and compassion in every interaction while maintaining the highest standards for integrity and ethics.
