“I have been “hanging out” with Eka since 2020. Covid sent a lot of us to therapy, only there were no therapists to be found. She has been a blessing to me. This is the first time I have used the same therapist for longer than six months. I am grateful for Eka.”

“The best therapist I have ever worked with. Our personalities mesh and I don’t have to explain AAVE or other cultural references, that makes the sessions so enjoyable even when we talk about hard topics. She’s a joy and I’m so glad I have Eka as my therapist.”

Getting to know Eka Childs

As a Trauma-Informed therapist with a Master's in Marriage and Family Therapy from the University of Phoenix, I believe Transitional Age Folx deserve support. I work with clients who are dealing with past trauma or other disheartening experiences and want to rebuild confidence. I always start from a brave look at their unique strengths to develop and implement coping strategies that actually work. I have experience supporting adults, youth, and families from marginalized and institutional backgrounds. As a mental health professional, I advocate to break the stigma and bring awareness to emotional wellbeing and mental illness, particularly within communities of color.

What should a new client know about working with you?

My role during the therapeutic process is to be a non-directive affirming cheer-leader, with valuable awareness of our innate ability to thrive. I show up for all sessions non-judgmental, empathic, and genuine and I welcome first-time therapy seekers!

More information on payments and coverage

Payment is due after each session and will be charged with your card on file for any portion of patient responsibility. Receipts will be provided at the time of the charge. This typically takes place 2-4 weeks after the session, once your insurance has had a chance to process the claim. We try our best to verify eligibility, but it is ultimately your responsibility to check coverage and out-of-pocket costs for services. For out-of-network visits, you will be billed at the provider’s self-pay rate, and we can provide an invoice for you to submit to your insurance for potential out-of-network reimbursement based on your plan’s benefits.

Very easy to talk to it just flows nonjudgmental at all
I have been “hanging out” with Eka since 2020. Covid sent a lot of us to therapy, only there were no therapists to be found. She has been a blessing to me. This is the first time I have used the same therapist for longer than six months. I am grateful for Eka.
The best therapist I have ever worked with. Our personalities mesh and I don’t have to explain AAVE or other cultural references, that makes the sessions so enjoyable even when we talk about hard topics. She’s a joy and I’m so glad I have Eka as my therapist.
She isn't pushy or judgmental but very understanding, gives room for you to not only grow but come into your own realizations and does it all straightforward and with a smile on her face. She is honestly the freshest breath of relief I've had in a while.
All the above attributes fit Eka. With my experience with Eka she has shown a great balance using each attribute as needed based on the client’s needs. I feel she’s a great asset to this practice and renders quality service. Thank you.
She is phenomenal and I so thankful for her !
