Hello, I am Kamilah you have made a big step to listen to yourself, be brave and courageous to seek help. You have made the choice to take a chance on the first step to change. I am a licensed clinical social worker and I have over 15 years of experience and I am passionate about the healing process. With this stance, I work with clients from young childhood through adulthood who are experiencing depression, anxiety, ADHD, trauma, grief , loss, life stressors/ adjustment, life transitions, PTSD, self esteem, relationship issues, trauma, school stress, coping skills, anger management, behavior management, learning disabilities, stress, parent coaching/ skills, postpartum support and family conflict. My approach uses concepts from different areas of theories and practices with a focus on consciousness and awareness. I draw from a range of clinical modalities and use a holistic and eclectic approach to empowerment that is tailored strategically and uniquely for you.

Transformative work starts with having a strong collaboration where we can process the presenting problem together to gain a better understanding. This will allow me to provide insight for what our collaborative approach will be. Individual wellness leads to community wellness and I would love to help heal minds and souls to inspire growth and build resilience. Therapy helps and the first step is to acknowledge that there is a need for change and that the emotional pain is impacting your life.

I provide a safe space for us to comfortably explore thoughts, feelings, behaviors and beliefs by acknowledging, accepting and acting together using a strength based foundation.

In my work with children and families, preventative work as well as past work as a Dean of Students and as a certified school social worker, it is important to understand all of the components that impact my client and help them through the process of self-discovery.

My goal is to enhance a child’s and caregiver's ability to function as part of a family and community and support you in achieving a safe and family unit, ensuring the well being of every member. I strive to help caregivers by and giving them the ability to support their child as well as improving the child’s ability to gain skills to be successful in the home

I will support, guide, mentor, coach you in functioning successfully. I assist and provide psycho-education to address specific issues that disrupt or jeopardize successful outcomes. I will listen, without judgement.

Allow me to nurture and inspire you to blossom and grow by remaining solution focused. On this journey, there will be healing and strengthening through our deep reflections together. We will focus on the present moment, while calmly acknowledging and accepting one's feelings, thoughts and environment. In this individual healing we will pour into ourselves and in turn pour back into our communities. Through this warm and inviting process We can try to put our expertise together to figure out how best to help you.

Online counseling allows you to receive care from a mental health practitioner via phone, video chat, or instant messaging. It is convenient for those who may have trouble getting to or would prefer not to have in-person therapy appointments. Starting at $65 per week, online counseling is generally more affordable than in-person counseling. A study by researchers at University of California, Berkeley found that online counseling can be just as effective as face-to-face therapy while being more convenient, affordable, and accessible.
