About Shakea
Hi, I’m Shakea “Kea” Roper, a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) with more than 15 years of experience walking alongside clients through life’s challenges. My mission is to create a safe, non-judgmental space where you can be yourself, find your voice, and work toward the changes you want in life. I know firsthand what it means to face struggles - as a single mom from the inner city, I’ve navigated parenting, family, work, and life obstacles that taught me resilience and the power of breaking patterns. That’s why I value honesty, compassion, and “keeping it real” in every session. I work with clients in Kansas, Missouri, Utah, North Dakota, Nevada, and Pennsylvania. My focus is on mood disorders, anxiety, depression, racing thoughts, and challenges that affect daily life. I use evidence-based methods such as Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavior Therapy, Solution-Focused Therapy, Strengths-Based approaches, and more - always choosing the tools that fit you. If something isn’t working, we pivot together. Clients describe my style as active, caring, and straightforward. I listen deeply, challenge unhelpful thoughts, and celebrate progress, whether big or small. After sessions, clients often leave with a sense of relief, clarity, and practical steps they can use right away. One of my favorite quotes comes from Nelson Mandela: “Everything seems impossible until it’s done.” I believe that with the right support, encouragement, and mindset, anyone can move past discomfort and step into growth. For me, it’s not just therapy - it’s an honor to join you on your journey. Read more Show less
