Our Story
Kadesha Adelakun is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW), a Registered Play Therapist-Supervisor (RPT-S), and a Cultural and Racial Diversity Play Therapy Consultant and Trainer.
I help rebuild and reunify families by teaching coping skills and better communication skills to children ages 3-18, adults, and families. I use play therapy, cognitive behavioral therapy, and many different therapeutic interventions to meet the needs of my clients. I help children and adults learn how to understand, control, and share their emotions appropriately, and make better choices.
I use play therapy with children and adolescents who have a hard time appropriately expressing themselves and talking to people about what is troubling them. I also specialize in family therapy, perinatal mood and anxiety disorders, racial, ethnic, and cultural identity issues/trauma, and working with children and adolescents with behavioral challenges, as well as, parenting support and training.
I provide clients with a safe, comfortable, and non-judgmental environment, to openly talk about their thoughts and feelings. I take an open-minded approach to client wellness and consider the client’s work life, family traditions, cultural, and spiritual beliefs. I provide support for developing a new way of seeing and moving through life.
