Hi! I’m Kesedria and I'm a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who provides virtual therapeutic services in the state of Pennsylvania. I'm dedicated to build upon a culture of transparency, integrity, and compassion to assist people in developing better versions of themselves through mental health awareness and quality counseling services. My current clients seek support with anxiety, depression, stress management/coping skill development, LGBTQ+ affirming care, race related trauma, other trauma symptoms/experiences, family issues, peer relationship issues, strengthening assertive communication skills, and with boundary setting. As a previous social worker in medical settings, I have also provided extensive emotional support for those living with chronic illnesses such as HIV/AIDS and cancer. My professional and lived experiences have helped me adopt an inclusive, collaborative, and judgment-free therapeutic space for people to feel heard and understood as they work through their individual healing journeys. My practice operates from a person-centered, trauma-informed, and social justice lens. It would be an honor to partner with you in meeting your mental health needs and to ultimately contribute to your overall health and quality of life. You deserve to be prioritized and live a more fulfilling life! Please be aware that I see clients M-TH (morning and afternoon appointments only). I can also be reached at, Kesedria-LCSW@protonmail.com.
What can clients expect to take away from sessions with you?
In our first session together, we will start with brief introductions and through a series of questions, gain a clearer idea of what your therapeutic goals are. At the end of this session we will mutually determine if our therapeutic alliance is a good fit in meeting your goals. If we choose to move forward together, this first session will help me create a tailored plan for us to work on in continued sessions.
Explain to clients what areas you feel are your biggest strengths.
As a provider with a medical social work background, I developed a unique person-centered and holistic view to mental health care that has allowed me to connect with and appreciate people from various walks of life on a special human to human level. To build comfort and engagement, I want clients to come to our sessions as their most authentic selves; meaning I want you to feel comfortable and safe enough with me to express your rawest emotions and thoughts, to let your personality shine, and to just be you -without fear of stigma or criticism. In addition to that and my clinical training, my lived experiences as a Black queer woman have given me insight into the complexities many people face. I believe that the client is the ultimate expert of their life and my role is to help guide and support you in creating healthier habits and decisions.
