Chilita Coleman

You may be used to being the person who keeps everything together, even when internally you feel overwhelmed, exhausted, or unsure of how to manage everything on your plate. Anxiety can leave you constantly overthinking, depression may make it harder to feel like yourself, and stress can build until even everyday responsibilities feel like too much. I work with adults experiencing anxiety, depression, stress management challenges, relationship issues, and women’s issues. I understand that women often navigate unique pressures involving relationships, personal expectations, responsibilities, and the desire to care for others while still making room for themselves. With six years of experience, my goal is to help you feel heard, understood, and supported as you work through these challenges. Therapy can be a place where you no longer have to hold everything together and can begin prioritizing your own emotional wellbeing.

Our work will make room for both the person you are and the relationships, responsibilities, expectations, and experiences that have shaped you. We’ll explore how anxiety, depression, stress, relationship difficulties, and women’s issues may be affecting your emotional wellbeing and the way you navigate everyday life. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy to help you recognize how patterns in your thoughts and behaviors may be contributing to distress, develop healthier ways of responding to difficult situations, and build practical coping skills you can use outside of our sessions. Together, we will identify goals that feel meaningful to you, recognize patterns that may be keeping you stuck, and practice strategies that support lasting change. Our work will be collaborative and goal-oriented, with room for you to take an active role in your progress while having the structure, guidance, and support you need along the way.

You do not have to have everything figured out before coming to therapy, and you do not have to know exactly where to begin. During our first few sessions, we will spend time getting to know one another, understanding what has been weighing on you, and identifying what you hope will feel different in your life. Together, we will create goals that reflect your priorities and develop a plan for moving forward at a pace that feels comfortable. You can expect me to listen without judgment, offer practical guidance, and create a space where you can be honest about what you are experiencing. Progress may look like feeling less overwhelmed by anxiety, reconnecting with yourself when depression feels heavy, managing everyday stress more effectively, developing healthier relationship patterns, or learning to prioritize your own needs without feeling guilty. We will regularly check in on your goals and recognize the progress you are making along the way. You deserve to feel supported in your own life, too. When you are ready, you can schedule your first session with me through Headway.
