About Keziah Striplin (She/Her)
Keziah Striplin - Clinical Social Work Associate / Therapist
I believe people need to be heard and validated before progressing toward optimal health and wellness. And I believe in the power of an individual to control the narrative of their life and empower themselves. People have the ability within themselves to thrive and prosper, and with acceptance, support, validation, and a wide breadth of knowledge and tools, the potential within is unlocked to heal and manage mental health and wellness. I will be in your corner, supporting you.
I’m passionate about helping you recognize your strengths and experience growth. Let’s work together to uncover your strengths and navigate your path to wellness.
My Background
My journey to becoming a therapist began with my own struggles, which led me to the transformative power of mental health support – these experiences inspired my passion for supporting others. Over the past ten years, I have worked as a recovery mentor, supporting people from various backgrounds, including the LGBTQ+ community. My work has included assisting individuals with mental health issues, such as DID, BPD, bipolar disorder, anxiety, and depression. I bring empathy, real-life experience, and professional skills to my practice.
What To Expect When We’re Working Together
You can expect a collaborative approach tailored to your unique needs when we work together. We will develop a personalized treatment plan based on your goals, and I will share my knowledge and skills to help you achieve them. You are the expert on your life; your input is vital in shaping our therapeutic journey. I am committed to continuously learning and adapting to ensure your best outcomes. My approach is flexible, without a “one size fits all” method, and focuses on your strengths and challenges.
My treatment approach aligns best with clients who seek support for:
Borderline Personality Disorder
Complex Trauma
Dissociative Identity Disorder
Grief and Loss
Identity Development and Exploration
Life Transitions
Relationship Issues
I primarily work with adults but also have experience working with children, teenagers, and older adults. My approach integrates Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Dialectical Behavior Therapy (DBT), narrative therapy, stages of change, motivational interviewing, and solution-focused therapy. This eclectic approach is person-centered, anti-oppressive, and strengths based.
“Not the world, not what’s outside of us, but what we hold inside traps us. We may not be responsible for the world that created our minds, but we can take responsibility for the mind with which we create our world.”
– Gabor Mate
It’s time to recognize your strengths, embrace growth, and confidently navigate your journey. If you’re seeking a therapist who understands the complexities of life transitions, life stressors, and the importance of finding joy in life’s small moments, I invite you to reach out.

Frequently Asked Questions About Our Practice
Sessions are conducted primarily online via telehealth. If you are interested in meeting with a provider in-person, please contact our office at (207) 316-2609 to discuss availability for in-person sessions.
I accept Aetna, Blue Cross Blue Shield (Anthem, Premera, Regence, etc.), Cigna, PacificSource, and Providence. However, I may not accept your specific insurance plan. It is your responsibility to verify that our organization is in-network with your plan and that services are covered.

For individuals using insurance to cover appointments, the cost of appointments is determined by each insurance’s contracted rates with our organization. Thus, the cost of appointments may be notably different than the cost of appointments for individuals who are self-pay. Furthermore, the cost of appointments may vary from session to session depending on several factors to include the length of the appointment and the complexity of the appointment. If you plan to use insurance, our office can provide a better estimate of costs once you provide your insurance information. Please contact us at (207) 316-2609 if you require further assistance.
For individuals who are self-pay:
Rates vary depending on type of service (therapy vs. medication management) and length of session. Please contact our office for additional information.
Payments are completed through our patient portal. Payments can be made using major credit/debit cards (American Express, Visa, Mastercard, etc.) as well as FSAs and HSAs.
Our policy is to collect payments before rendering services. However, we cannot always predict the cost of sessions in advance because services and length of sessions may vary from appointment to appointment. For clients using insurance, you will likely be responsible for either a co-pay or for paying the full costs of sessions until your deductible is met. Please ensure you fully understand your insurance benefits to prevent future billing concerns.
Regardless of your insurance status and payment method, we will always be as up-front with you as possible about the cost of treatment.
- The online scheduler above shows my availability over the next 20 days. If no appointments are available, please check back in a few days.
- For appointments beyond this 20-day window, you can return closer to your preferred appointment date. Alternatively, you can view availability for our other therapists here.
Clients must cancel or reschedule appointments at least 48 hours before their appointment. If appointments are not canceled or rescheduled with at least 48 hours’ notice, or if clients do not show to their appointment, they will be charged a late cancellation fee of $150. To ensure we treat all clients consistently and ethically and to be respectful of our providers’ time, we must enforce our late cancellation and no-show policy. Fees incurred for late cancellations and no shows are out-of-pockets expenses. They cannot be billed to insurance.
