Post PhD candidacy, I have been providing counseling services and mental health treatment and established a private practice in 2018. I enjoy working with kids, teens and adults to be helpful with addressing mental health challenges and finding effective strategies for improving quality of life. I have extensive experience in treating trauma, depression and anxiety, among other mental health challenges. I proudly support LGBQTIA+ and neurodiverse individuals and communities.

Hi! I am a Licensed Professional Counselor based in Pennsylvania. I have been working as an LPC since 2011. Over my career I have worked in a variety of settings which has provided me with extensive knowledge on the different resources available to assist clients on their journey. I have extensive training in trauma therapy and I am also TF-CBT certified. Additionally, I am PCIT certified and can help families to navigate parenting and behavioral issues.

I am an empathic, supportive therapist who utilizes therapeutic tools to empower my clients to lead more fulfilling lives. I provide assistance in identifying areas that require change, healing past traumas, enhancing relationships, fostering greater self-awareness, learning and implementing effective coping skills, and establishing achievable goals. I find that mindfulness techniques can support the healing process, in addition to building community and strengthening or developing a support network. These are areas that I would also focus on during your treatment. I am also an LGBTQIA+ ally.

Confidential talk without judgement. Hi, I’m Shakea “Kea” Roper. I’m a licensed clinical social worker (LCSW). Do you need someone to talk to that will be understanding, compassionate, and encouraging? If so, you have reached the right therapist. I’m a single mother from the inner city. I’ve been through many struggles. From parenting, to family, to work, and just life. I’ve learned you can always work on yourself to help break cycles/patterns that once held you back. I value honesty and keeping it real. When there is free time, I like to sleep, spend time with family, board games, and of course diamond painting/other crafts. I often work with clients to address anxiety, depression, racing undesirable thoughts, and handling day to day life. My counseling style is active, honest, and straight-forward. Many of my clients have said "Kea is a great listener who isn't afraid to challenge my thoughts." I take the time to care. For me, it's an honor to work together to make progress! One of my favorite quotes is “everything seems impossible until it's done” by Nelson Mandela because I know everyone can push past the uncomfortableness of change to accomplish their goals. I have over 14 years of experience focusing on mood disorders and any symptoms that affect daily life. I can work with clients from the following states: Kansas, Missouri, Utah, North Dakota, and Pennsylvania. I spent my last college years at the University of Missouri – Columbia (MIZZOU) earning a master’s degree in social work (c/o/2009). In my sessions, I focus on using evidence-based techniques such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (thinking processes), Strengths Based, Brief Therapy, Problem Solving, DBT (mindfulness), Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT), and Solution Focused to help clients improve all areas of their life. I am a facilitator of Making Sense of Your Worth (MSoYW). I have worked in various fields of social work such as: working with survivors of abuse, half-way houses, reunification of children with their families, youth homes, and psychiatric hospitals.
