There have been a seemingly ridiculous amount of things in my life that have just been dominoes one after the other. Dr. Brimage has been great helping me to navigate and not be crushed under the weight of it all. She has given me coping mechanisms that I can use in every situation not just the major things.

Hello, my name is Dr. Lakisha Brimage, I am a Licensed Professional Counselor in Kentucky, a Licensed Professional Counselor-Mental Health Service Provider in TN and an ordained minister. In 2023, I received a PSY.D in Behavioral Health Leadership and graduated with a M.ED with a concentration in Counseling and Human Development in 2013. Over the span of my career, I have been afforded the opportunity to work with individuals from various backgrounds and walks of life, to include children, teens, military service men/women and their families, veterans, military servicemembers, civilians, and department of correction inmates. Working with such a diverse population allows me to become more cognizant of our differences but also more enlightened of our interconnectedness.
I work with individuals who are experiencing with various concerns such as anxiety, depression, relationship issues, career challenges, ADHD, crisis issues and other difficulties that may impair their ability to function in certain areas. With the help of client-centered individualized therapy and a combination of therapeutic approaches, collaboratively the client and I will work together in closing the gap between where they are right now in their life and where they want to be in the future.
My goal is to provide you with the tools, strategies, and skill sets that are needed to address challenges and barriers that often interfere with obtaining your overall goal and future results. I believe that you have the power to accomplish your goals but may require some support, and that’s what I am here to do!
It takes courage to seek a more fulfilling and happier life and to take the first steps towards change. If you are ready to take that step, I am here to support and empower you.
I look forward to working with you!

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space.
Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

What a wonderful doctor. She listens, responds with insightful words and gives me homework geared to help me move forward. Thank-you doctor.
Dr Brimage has been very helpful in all of my sessions. She was able to suggest a few exercise that has helped me somehow to go through certain events. She is a good listener and very thoughtful person.
She is amazing and really listens and understands how I am processing things. She is extremely supportive and always there when I need her. She even checks in on me if she hasn't heard for me in a while.

She’s been really great in the short amount of time I’ve been with her and having her gives me a great sense of relief
Lakisha has been so helpful getting me to where I am now. She listens so well and knows how to give the tools necessary. I definitely feel so much more improved after working with her.
She knows how to respond to my needs very well. Lakisha your awesome right now.
The best counceling experiences I have had have been on this app. They really make a good job at matching you with someone who will work for you more so than when you're looking for one yourself. Third experience on this app and I'm loving it. Lakisha Brimage is someone who pays attention to detail and has a caring nature. She is a great listener and has never make me felt judge or push me into doing anything I didn't want to. She has help learn skills like recognizing my own success, among other things. I highly recomend this counceler and this site.
I appreciate Lakisha checking in on me today, way before our next appointment. Nothing alarming is going on, but it felt really good to have her connect with me, and I was able to share about something I normally would have pushed aside, and not confronted.
Ms.Lakeisha is awesome. She gets me to dig deep to find the bigger picture and reasons of my issues.
Lakisha has been so helpful to me. Previous therapy I have done they are more focused on me just talking and trying to solve a problem by speaking but with Lakisha I explain to her what my problem or issue is and she has very helpful worksheet that help me overcome the problem. I’m really really happy that I have had the support from her.
Lakisha is kind, knowledgeable, responsive, professional and prompt. I only wish that the BetterHelp system worked better on a cellphone when you’re away from your home wifi system so I can have privacy from the person I live with for sessions.
Lakisha Brimage shows the true part of what the issues are even if I give more information that isn’t needed for the problem at hand. I message her off my own convenience which is perfect for my schedule. I thank her for helping me feel like I can breath again. And can always reach her when I need it. Thank you!
Lakisha is truly a wonderful therapist. In my short time on BetterHelp I’ve found a sense of relief in my struggles through my interactions with her. She is extremely thoughtful and easy to talk to. I was surprised with how easy it was to speak openly and honestly on my first phone call with her. I most definitely recommend her to anyone who may struggle with anxiety or self esteem issues.
