My Story

My name is Keisha J. Mathew, A.M., LCSW and I am proud to represent the best of my ancestors! I use she/her pronouns. I chose this path as a healer because of the blessings I have experienced as a wife, mom, friend, a coach and therapist. I have a master's in clinical social work from the University of Chicago.  I created radicallyBLended Services, PLLC because the opportunity to serve people at their most vulnerable is one that deserves integrity, cultural competency, a lived experience that values compassion within all relationships.  The capitalizing of the B and the L in my business name stands for Black Liberation. It is a core value of mine, not only as a therapist, but also as a woman of African descent living on stolen land that continues to oppress my community. My work focuses on providing healing for Black and Brown people; which is my purpose and desire as a professional healer. Make no mistake: I serve all people, but my mission is to provide space for Black and Brown people with the highest need of trauma informed care and mediation in their relationships.

Providing therapy and coaching is my calling!  I am a native of both the racially and  culturally diverse northside and the beautifully rich in Black and Brown culture that is the south side of Chicago. The first twenty years of my life was filled with impactful moments that has defined who I am and my level of cultural competency.  In addition to my eclectic background during my youth, my life took a surprising turn when I met my now husband. During our courtship, I learned so much about not only myself, but the people I was surrounded by (both family and friends). At that time, the value to connect with others in similar relationships nurtured my drive to create a social space unlike anything seen before.  

This desire was not just for me, but for my family as a whole.  I understand the impact of generational traumas; it is something that I uncovered as a new mom. Motherhood opened me up to the suppressed trauma and grief I had normalized and buried; a family pattern practiced by women before and after me.  My desire as an activist and professional is to serve communities that value a psychotherapist that is unapologetically her full self and is not the typical woman of African descent from Chicago! This is the foundation of my work and why I support individuals, couples  and families today. I work to share space with those who seek to dissect the intersection between how they view themselves and how they are identified in their world.

Through my services, you will learn how I fuse 20+ years of wisdom from my lived  and professional experience. I help many find their way to the life they want with absolutely no apologies necessary.  Your path to joy is yours to take; I am here to provide the light you need to get to your destination!
