Keesha Borden
Supervisee in Social Work
Keesha Borden is a provisionally licensed clinical social worker with over 15 years of experience in the mental health field across various roles and capacities. She brings a warm, client-centered, and strengths-based approach to therapy, helping individuals feel seen, supported, and empowered as they navigate life’s challenges.
Keesha is passionate about walking alongside clients as they work through transitions, personal growth, self-identity, anxiety, stress, burnout, ADHD-related challenges, and performance-related stressors. She understands that life often requires us to pivot, rebuild, and rediscover who we are. Her background in mental health, caregiving, business, and personal development allows her to connect with clients from a place of compassion, resilience, and real-life understanding.
Keesha’s therapeutic approach is collaborative, practical, and supportive. She incorporates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy-informed work to help clients better understand the connection between their thoughts, feelings, behaviors, triggers, and consequences. She also draws from Motivational Interviewing, using reflection, affirmation, and gentle challenge to help clients explore change in a way that feels empowering rather than forced. This approach can be especially helpful for clients navigating anxiety, depression, substance use concerns, decision-making patterns, stress, and life transitions.
Keesha believes therapy should be a safe, supportive, and non-judgmental space where clients can explore their experiences openly. Her therapeutic style is empowering and down-to-earth, with a focus on helping clients identify their strengths, develop healthy coping skills, improve emotional regulation, build confidence, and move toward becoming the best version of themselves. She enjoys supporting clients as they gain clarity, navigate life transitions, and work toward overall emotional wellness.
