LCSW, 15 years of experience
Hi, I'm Akilah Peters, Licensed Clinical Social Worker(LCSW), based in California and I work with clients statewide via telehealth. I work with adults and specialize in anxiety , stress and trauma using person centered therapy, cognitive behavior therapy and acceptance and commitment therapy that fosters healing and showing up as your authentic self. I consider myself a holistic therapist with practicing key elements of myself as a clinician to best support each client that works with me.
When we share time during our first session we will begin the journey of building trust and discuss what's been on your mind and heart that's impacting how you present to the world. Each person is different so I spend time holding space , listening to your needs and walking towards discovery of what is best for you moving forward in a therapeutic space.
My approach to therapy is aligned specifically to each client I work with. We work together to guide you toward creating a life that serves you well and promotes emotional health, spiritual health and their mental health. Holding space for my clients is a privilege and I look forward to meeting you. While working with me on your goals you will gain valuable insight and learn to take inspired action in real time . If you have additional questions that were not answered please write them down and bring them to your intake session.
My work over the past 15 years has shown me that my approach to therapy is supportive to adult women who identify as BIPOC and who are navigating their life transitions such as career changes, entrepreneurship, familial conflict, romantic relationships, racial stress and balancing living their best life and those looking to stop generational patterns. As a possible future client , even in this moment while you're reading understand that everything doesn't have to be perfect before you start, press play on dreaming and expecting things will unfold exactly how you need them to .
I have over 15 years experience using this method to assist clients with radical acceptance, mindfulness and aligning with their purpose.
