The therapists of KESMA Flame Lily LLC spend the first couple of sessions getting to know the adolescent or adult so that all interventions can be individualized to meet the specific needs of that particular person or family. All interventions begin with the individual strengths of the adolescent, adult or family.
Petronellah Thomas-Shanobi has been working in the counseling field since 2002. She has worked in a variety of treatment modalities as a counselor, clinical Mental Health Nurse, mentor, and consultant.

We design interventions that look at both the current challenge an individual may be facing as well as the underlying issues that are probably contributing to these challenges.
For example, a teenager who wants to have a more fulfilling social life might need to explore their social perception, and theory of mind skills. That same teenager may struggle with anxiety and need assistance in developing strategies that increase coping and the ability to relax. Given the complexity of peoples’ lives, we specialize in a number of different areas.
