Meet Kareemah
​​Hi, I’m Kareemah Stepney, LISW-CP, S a licensed clinical social worker, supervisor, and
the founder of Journey Beyond Roadblocks Counseling.
​
I bring over 20 years of experience walking alongside adolescents, young adults, college
students, and professionals who are navigating anxiety, depression, trauma, life
transitions, and struggles with self-esteem and self-worth. Many of my clients are high
functioning on the outside but feel overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected on the inside.
My approach is grounded, compassionate, and client centered. I view therapy as a journey and should be a space where you can exhale and you don’t have to perform, fix, or explain yourself.
Together, we slow things down, make sense of what you’re carrying, and gently
work toward healing, confidence, and emotional freedom.
The name Journey Beyond Roadblocks was intentionally chosen because I see therapy as a journey—and no two journeys look the same. Along the way, there will be roadblocks and detours, moments when things feel unclear or overwhelming. I believe that even during those difficult seasons, there is still space for growth, joy, restoration, and hope. My role is to walk alongside you, help you see what’s possible beyond what feels stuck, and support you as you move forward at a pace that feels safe and right for you.
