Hello, my name is Kishea Paulemont and I am a licensed Mental Health Counselor. I firmly believe that mental health is a crucial component of our overall wellness, yet it often receives the least attention. My mission is to raise awareness about mental health and break the stigma surrounding it. Taking the first step by reaching out for help is something you should be proud of.
My approach
In my therapy sessions, I employ a person-centered approach. This means that each session is tailored specifically to your unique needs, focusing on exploring underlying trauma, experiences, and thoughts that may be impacting your mental well-being. My goal is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you feel comfortable sharing your story and working towards positive change.
My focus
I work with individuals, families, and minors (ages 13-17) who are seeking support for a wide range of mental health concerns. Some of my specialties include addiction, ADHD, alcohol use, anger management, anxiety, behavioral issues, coping skills, career counseling, bipolar disorder, depression, trauma and PTSD, infidelity, divorce, and domestic violence. No matter what challenges you are facing, I am here to provide compassionate guidance and evidence-based strategies for healing and growth.
My communication style
My communication style is warm, empathetic, and collaborative. I believe in building a strong therapeutic alliance based on trust, respect, and open communication. In our sessions, you can expect me to listen attentively, ask thoughtful questions, and provide feedback and insights to help you gain clarity and perspective. I will work closely with you to develop personalized goals and a treatment plan that aligns with your values and priorities.
My journey to mental healthcare
I hold a Master of Science degree in Mental Health from Touro University. My journey to becoming a mental health counselor was driven by a deep desire to make a positive difference in people's lives. I am passionate about empowering individuals to overcome obstacles, build resilience, and lead fulfilling lives. Through my education and clinical experience, I have developed a strong foundation in evidence-based practices and a holistic approach to mental health care.
My goals for you
My ultimate goal for you is to help you achieve a greater sense of self-awareness, emotional well-being, and life satisfaction. Whether you are struggling with a specific issue or simply looking to enhance your personal growth, I will provide you with the tools, insights, and support you need to make meaningful and lasting changes. Together, we will work towards building your inner strength, improving your relationships, and creating a life that aligns with your values and aspirations.
My first session with you
During our initial session, we will take the time to get to know each other and discuss your reasons for seeking therapy. I will ask questions to gain a deeper understanding of your background, experiences, and current challenges. We will also explore your goals and expectations for therapy, and I will provide an overview of my approach and how we can work together to achieve your desired outcomes. You will leave our first session with a clear understanding of the therapeutic process and some initial strategies or changes you can implement right away to start making progress toward your goals.
