Great to meet you!

Hello, my name is Dewanda Coard, and I am a Licensed Clinical Mental Health Counselor.

If you're here, you've already taken an important step by choosing to prioritize your mental health, and I commend you for that. Seeking support can be challenging, and I am honored that you are considering allowing me to be part of your journey.

I have over three years of experience working with women ages 18 to 65 who are navigating challenges related to depression, anxiety, life transitions, self-esteem, and relationship concerns. My goal is to provide a supportive, compassionate, and nonjudgmental environment where you can feel heard, understood, and empowered to create meaningful change in your life.

I would welcome the opportunity to work alongside you as you develop the tools and confidence needed to overcome obstacles, improve your well-being, and achieve your personal goals.

I look forward to supporting you on your path toward healing and growth.

My approach to therapy

My approach to therapy is person-centered, with a strong emphasis on creating a safe, supportive, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being open and honest about your experiences. I believe in meeting clients where they are in their journey and working collaboratively to understand their unique needs and goals. Together, we will develop a personalized treatment plan focused on fostering meaningful change, building on your strengths, and empowering you to create lasting solutions that support your overall well-being.

What you can expect from me

What you can expect during your first session is a safe, supportive space where you can openly share your experiences, concerns, and goals. We will work together to explore what brings you to therapy and begin identifying the changes you would like to see in your life.

I strive to create a warm, welcoming, and nonjudgmental environment where you feel comfortable being yourself, sharing openly, and allowing yourself to be vulnerable while still feeling secure and supported.
