Keshanda Garland, LPC — Therapist in Virginia

Hi there, I'm Keshanda!

Please feel free to call me Kesha. I have experience working with clients who have mental health issues.

My focus

I enjoy working with adults and adolescents, and my specialty lies in working with clients with anxiety disorders, panic attacks, depression, stress, relationship issues, and trauma-related disorders. I am dedicated to helping clients foster growth and healing through a collaborative therapeutic relationship.

My approach

It is my job to make therapy sessions feel less intimidating. I accomplish this by being friendly and easy to talk to while striving to give you a feeling of control. Being open and honest will be important in therapy, so my goal is to create an environment that feels realistic. I am always open to questions and feedback.

My communication style

My goal is to create a place where you can be yourself, open, and honest. My goal is to create a judgment-free zone. It has been described by my clients and others that I am easygoing, caring, compassionate, open-minded, professional, and "down to earth."

My journey to mental healthcare

To me, Therapy is exploring alternatives. I wanted to create an opportunity to identify and address what holds us back from reaching our fullest potential.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting by listening to my client's goals and needs, and I provide assistance with helping my client to develop their own therapeutic goals. Counseling requires an active effort on your part. In order to be most successful, you will have to work on things outside of sessions.

Our first session

You should expect to feel heard and supported during the first session. During the intake, I will obtain background information on what brings you into therapy. The intake is also designed for you to ask me any questions. The goal is for us to get to know one another better.
