Kadijah (she/her), Resident in Counseling

Children + Adult Therapy in Chesterfield, VA + online throughout Virginia

 I am a LPC-Resident in Counseling with over 7 years of experience in the mental health field, specializing in both adult and child therapy. Holding a Bachelor's degree in Psychology, as well as two Master's degrees—one in Clinical Mental Health Counseling and another in School Counseling—I have developed a comprehensive understanding of psychological theory and practice. Since beginning my work in 2017, I have had the privilege of supporting individuals dealing with a range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, ADHD, bipolar disorder, and more serious mental health conditions.

In my therapeutic work, I take an integrative approach, drawing from a variety of evidence-based practices to tailor treatment to the unique needs of each individual. I combine techniques from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Person-Centered Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, and other therapeutic modalities to create a flexible and effective treatment plan. This approach allows me to address the complex and varied challenges my clients face, while also supporting their personal growth and emotional healing.

Central to my practice is the belief in the importance of building a strong therapeutic alliance. I strive to create a warm, non-judgmental space where clients feel safe to explore their emotions, express their needs, and work through their difficulties. My goal is to empower clients to gain insight, develop healthy coping mechanisms, and acquire new skills that will enhance their quality of life.

With experience working with children ages 5 to 17, I am especially attuned to the challenges that young people face in navigating emotional, social, and behavioral concerns. Whether working with children or adults, my approach is compassionate, client-centered, and goal-oriented, helping each person I work with to unlock their potential and improve their emotional well-being.
