Hi, I’m Nicole Knox, LPC and owner of Mental Momentum Counseling & Consulting, LLC. If you’re carrying trauma, living with constant worry, or feeling stuck in patterns you can’t seem to break, you’re not alone and you don’t have to navigate this by yourself. Many of my clients come to me feeling overwhelmed, hypervigilant, exhausted, or disconnected from the version of themselves they want to be. I help you slow things down, understand what’s happening inside your mind and body, and build the emotional stability you’ve been craving. I specialize in trauma recovery, PTSD, childhood trauma, generational trauma, LGBTQIA-affirming care, anxiety, depression, and life transitions. I also support clients dealing with family conflict, stress, and self-esteem challenges. My approach is warm, direct, and deeply collaborative. I blend trauma‑informed care with DBT‑based skills to help you feel safer internally, reduce spiraling thoughts, and create healthier patterns in your relationships and daily life. If you’re ready to feel more regulated, supported, and empowered in your personal life, I’d be honored to work with you. You deserve relief, clarity, and a space where your story is met with compassion and skill. Schedule a session when you’re ready to begin.

Have you been wondering if your current challenges are due to past traumatic life events? Do you struggle in relationships? If so, I may be the Therapist for you. I specialize in trauma therapy for teenagers and adults. Many people often think trauma is only caused by violent crimes, acts of physical abuse, or natural disasters. They may also think because trauma happened a long time ago, it does not affect them in the present. These are a few of the myths about trauma. There are many types of traumas such as the sudden or unexpected death of a loved one, bullying, retaliation in the workplace, neglect from parents, infidelity, intimate partner violence, the witnessing of domestic violence and more. If you or your teen is struggling with anxiety, depression, or life stressors, therapy with me can help with positive changes to strengthen self-esteem and confidence. I am trained in EMDR and other trauma therapy approaches. My years of professional experience as a teacher and counselor, along with my lived experiences as a Black person allow me to provide empathetic regard while helping clients from multicultural backgrounds.

I approach therapy as a relational process, not a place where you come to be fixed. You’re not a problem to solve; you’re a person with a history, patterns that make sense, and a way of being in the world that developed for a reason. In our work together, we slow things down and get curious about what’s underneath the surface. I’m interested in who you are, not just what’s wrong. My goal is to create a space that feels real, thoughtful, and nonjudgmental, where you can begin to understand yourself more deeply and move toward something that feels more connected and meaningful.

Welcome — this is a space where you can be honest, seen, and understood. I’m Shakea “Kea” Roper, LCSW, and I bring 15 years of clinical and life experience to our therapeutic partnership. If you’ve ever felt stuck, overwhelmed, or burdened by cycles that just won’t shift — I see you. I specialize in helping people manage anxiety, depression, racing or intrusive thoughts, life transitions, and relational struggle. My style is active, grounded, and rooted in both compassion and challenge. Many clients say: “Kea listens like no one else — and she’s not afraid to stretch me when I need it.” I integrate evidence-based approaches (CBT, DBT, Solution-Focused, Strengths-Based, Brief Therapy) along with more specialized models: Making Sense of Your Worth (MSoYW): an 8-week group curriculum developed by HALO Project where we explore and heal the internal “lies” we believe about ourselves, rebuild toward positive self-worth and secure attachment. Moral Reconation Therapy (MRT): a structured, cognitive-behavioral system where we work through step-by-step exercises to enhance reasoning, decision-making, and a healthier identity (beyond self-destructive or impulsive patterns). I also actively engage in community work, and I’m currently pursuing my doctorate (which continues to deepen my perspective and rigor). Outside of sessions, you’ll often find me at board game night, crafting, or spending time with family. It’s an honor to walk alongside you. Nelson Mandela said, “Everything seems impossible until it’s done.” Let’s work together toward the possible. I’m currently accepting clients in Pennsylvania, Missouri, Kansas, Utah, North Dakota, and Nevada.

Born and raised in the inner city by a single mother and a large extended family, I noticed the needs of those that were mentally or physically diagnosed were often not met. Therefore, I began to inquire about what I needed to do in order to be a part of the solution. I began to work in the field and I have worked in Behavioral/Mental Health for close to 20 years. My experience covers a plethora of ages and diagnosis across many settings. My determination to treat and support those with mental health diagnosis during the pandemic inspired me to perform outpatient therapy via telehealth to adults and adolescents.

I believe healing begins with feeling seen, heard, and accepted without judgment. As a Licensed Professional Counselor, I provide a compassionate and collaborative space where clients can safely process life's challenges while developing practical tools for lasting change. I specialize in trauma recovery, including childhood and adult sexual abuse, anxiety, depression, grief, relationship concerns, autism, ADHD, men's mental health, and life transitions. My approach integrates evidence-based therapies such as Trauma-Focused CBT, CBT, DBT-informed skills, Solution-Focused Therapy, and person-centered care. For clients who desire it, I also offer faith-based counseling that thoughtfully incorporates Christian principles into the therapeutic process. I have also done research and work related spiritual abuse or abuse in spiritual environments. My goal is to help clients move beyond surviving to living with greater confidence, purpose, and emotional freedom.

I began my professional career in 2005 working as a caseworker helping children and families maintain safe and healthy environments as well as financial stability. Since then I have completed masters degrees in counselor education and clinical counseling and was first licensed as a professional counselor in 2014. I'm currently credentialed as a Licensed Professional Counselor in Pennsylvania and a Licensed Mental Health Counselor in Florida. In my career, I've been privileged to serve many individuals in crisis, community based, and outpatient counseling settings. I've worked with individuals experiencing mood and anxiety concerns, addiction, trauma, and severe and debilitating mental health issues. Also, as a gender and sexually diverse member of the LGBTQIA+ community, I am well suited to address the unique needs of individuals exploring ideas related to their own gender and sexuality or that of a loved one.

I strive to create an open and safe space for clients to be their authentic self and find it important to see a client's physical, emotional, and developmental world through their lens. We will work together to explore and express emotions, develop and expand communication skills and relationships, and find ways to continue overall growth within the therapeutic relationship. I focus on solution-focused and cognitive-behavioral therapy approaches, but employ additional options as needed, depending on each client's personal journey towards healing.
