Please call me Keisha-Marie or Dr. Alridge, and I use they/them pronouns! I am a Black Queer person who does therapy remotely. As you or your child’s licensed psychologist, I will approach concerns with a foundation of consent, trust/belief, and individualized consideration. I ask your willingness to tell me what is on your mind, experiment with new things, and feel through challenges as we develop our trust. We will collaborate and get to know each other through my relational and expressive style. I am committed to providing psychotherapy that supports you or your child to achieve what you or they want and need.
I honed my skills in supporting those with complex trauma, depression, anxiety/panic, disability, chronic ailments like long COVID, and folks in reductionist journeys, all in their marginalized bodies, through therapy and neuropsychological evaluations. I trained in school counseling, inpatient psychiatric care, conducting psychological evaluations, and facilitating individual/group therapies at universities and private practices. My experience includes serving various clients: ages, genders, sexualities, cultures, family structures, immigration statuses, socioeconomic backgrounds, diagnoses, and complexities.
Therapy is an opportunity to understand yourself better, how you are experienced by others, and share a healing connection with another person. My therapeutic approach is an open space that allows people to express themselves freely through talk, play, movement, and fun. Moreover, I am an advocate who will use my power to support you. I will strive to meet anyone where they are to co-create a meaningful relationship with them.
I have random availability and an open waitlist! Just in case, please check your junk folder within 1-2 business days of contacting me. Also, feel free to reach out if you would like referrals and let me know what you seek in a new therapist/your growth areas!
