Akeya Kester

Licensed Professional Counselor, LPC
Last Updated 30+ days ago

Are you ready to begin your journey to wellness? If so, you've come to the right place!

My name is Akeya. I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in the state of Pennsylvania. A Key To Peace has been in operation since 2019. I provide Talk Therapy and Psychoeducation via Teletherapy.

What better way to reflect, process, and grow than in the comfort of your own space? Teletherapy provides that option. Working adults, single parents, and those struggling to manage life's daily stressors have found comfort in knowing that they can receive quality therapy in the comfort of their home, car, or office.

I invite you on this journey to explore all the beautiful versions of YOU. Together we will work as a team to develop a treatment plan designed with your needs in mind. All that I ask is that you bring your authentic self to the session with an open mind and open heart. See you soon!

Sincerely,
Akeya
