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 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. Expect a sense of relief, release, and progress after each session. Each session is geared towards you and your needs. It’s based off what you feel you need to talk about, not a set curriculum. You bring the topic, and we will discuss, and problem solve as needed. If you just want a listener, you can have that also. Know that I will be honest and straight forward with you. Know that your thoughts may be challenged to help your personal growth. You may even have action or thinking tasks to complete. 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 am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker in Missouri with 4 years of professional experience. I’ve worked with families, couples, and individuals from ages of 4 years old to those in their mid 60’s, and tend to specialize most in working with adolescents and those in their young to mid adult years. I have experience in helping those with stress and anxiety, relationship issues, trauma and abuse, motivation, self esteem, confidence, and overall helping people learn and understand themselves more. With each unique person I work with, I strive to form a trusting and strong therapeutic rapport, and to provide a safe, empathetic environment of unconditional positive regard to help support each person through their healing journey. I’ve been a therapy client myself, and it takes work, time, commitment, and patience. All of that can feel scary and overwhelming on its own, and it’s through my therapeutic approach where I strive to help therapy be an opportunity to help those I work with learn how to overcome challenges and grow in empowerment, and to be able to continue maintaining that growth on their own even when they no longer need therapy. I tend to utilize therapeutic interventions such as CBT (Cognitive Behavioural Therapy), Motivational Interviewing skills, Solution based approaches, DBT skills (Dialectical Behavioural Therapy), and I’m trained in EMDR (Eye Movement Desensitization Reprocessing). It’s through these interventions that I work to meet each individual where they’re at in their growth, and support them in becoming empowered to make consistent and long term progress for themselves.
