Trailblazer Interview: Kamarhia Hopkins
One of my favorite things to do is connect with passionate individuals using their talents to help the community. I like to call them trailblazers, visionaries who help us understand more about our health and emotions.
Today’s trailblazer is Kamahria Hopkins. Kamarhia is a licensed Clinical Professional Counselor and a certified integrative mental health professional hailing from Illinois. Her journey from a career in journalism to her current role in psychology has allowed her to combine her love for dance movement therapy and traditional talk therapy, creating a powerful blend that addresses the mind, body, and spirit in a holistic approach to mental health.
About Kamahria
Kamahria's journey into the mental health field began after a career shift from journalism to psychology. She found a perfect blend of her passions in dance movement therapy and traditional talk therapy, which allows her to support her clients in a holistic manner, addressing mind, body, and spirit.
Incorporating Dance Movement Therapy
One of the remarkable aspects of Kamahria's practice is her use of dance movement therapy. Kamahria believes that the body can be a powerful tool for healing, especially when clients struggle to express themselves verbally. Through dance, she helps clients process emotions, trauma, and various life experiences. Whether it's grief, joy, or other emotions, Kamahria encourages her clients to embrace dance as a form of authentic self-expression.
A Mystic Approach
Embracing spirituality in the broadest sense, Kamarhia identifies as a mystic. Her previous involvement in church and liturgical dance, as well as her current exploration of various practices like tarot and crystals, has expanded her understanding of spirituality. She skillfully integrates these practices into therapy, providing a safe space for clients to explore their spirituality, regardless of their beliefs.
Inclusivity and Empowerment
Kamahria's focus on inclusivity is evident in her practice. She primarily works with women and femme-identifying individuals, providing a space where they can fully embrace their authentic selves and their spirituality, and explore their unique journey of personal development. Kamahria's also emphasizes that therapy should be client-driven, where clients feel accepted and free to explore various therapeutic modalities.
Holistic Mental Health Care
Kamahria's approach to mental health is truly holistic. She understands the interconnectedness of various aspects of life and tailors therapy to meet each client's specific needs. As she accepts a variety of insurance options, Kamahria ensures mental health care is accessible to all and offers sliding-scale options to eliminate financial barriers to seeking therapy.
