Khary Blackmon, MS, LPC, NCC

Greetings! My name is Khary, but most of my friends and colleagues call me Ky. I am the Founder and Lead Clinician here at Triumph. I specialize in treating adolescent, and pre-adolescent young men but I have experience treating most demographics. Click here to see more about my professional background. My counseling style is influenced by Cognitive Behavioral, Solution Focused and Adlerian theoretical orientations. Though knowledge and practice of these orientations are the greatest influences to my work as a therapist, I’ve also learned a great deal about effective therapy through my work in classrooms and educational systems.

In my experience in education, I’ve recognized that great teachers are able to consistently produce results for their students because they are intentional about setting the stage for learning. In the same regard, I set the stage for meaningful growth in therapy by first and foremost emphasizing what I call the 3 R’s: Raport, Respect, and Real-World Application. People, young and old, need to feel safe in order to speak their truth. They also want to be confident that they receive a return on their emotional investment. The 3 R’s approach, consist of Rapport building, earning Respect , and clarification of how therapy can have Real-World application. It is my belief, that effective therapy rarely happens before these cornerstones of relationship building have been addressed. I believe that the effectiveness of this strategy is compounded when the therapist is able to relate to the client on a cultural level. This is why I found it imperative to start the Triumph Counseling Group. I look forward to meeting you and walking along with you on this journey called life. I know we have a lot to learn from one-another. God Bless!

As Intake Coordinator, when you call us to schedule an appointment or have to handle anything business related, I’m the person you are going to talk to (yay!). I pride myself on professionalism, organization and efficiency so expect any dealings with me to be smooth and painless.

As Special Education Consultant, I help parents and guardians of children struggling academically, emotionally, or socially to advocate for their child’s best academic interest. Why am I qualified to do this you ask? I graduated Magna Cum Laude from Lincoln University of PA with a degree in Psychology. I would go on to earn my Master’s degree from Holy Family University in Special Education. I am a PDE-highly-qualified, certified special education teacher who has been teaching students with Emotional Support needs for over 10 years. My extensive experience and knowledge with special education documents such as Individual Education Plans (IEPs) Section 504 plans, PTEs, and Psychological Evaluations makes me a valuable resource for parents who are not familiar with the educational jargon and landscape in private and public education. In addition to my work in special education, I currently serve as Director of Equity and Inclusion at one of the largest high schools in Philadelphia

I have dedicated my life to the idea that even the most challenging students have the potential for greatness and I feel blessed to get the opportunity to support them and show them the way.
