Hi! I'm Mike and I've had the privilege of working as a psychotherapist providing evidence-based treatment to adults since 2019. Most of my clients' success stories began once they noticed distressing feelings such as "not being myself," "meaninglessness," and "panic about the future;" these kinds of existential and relational crises are particularly difficult to manage in isolation. Over the years, I've learned that parents and professionals experiencing burnout, traumatic stress, cycles of self-sabotage, relational/sexual abuse, and "spiraling thoughts" tend to thrive in treatment with me.

I work with preteens, teens, and adults. I specialize in depression, anxiety, and trauma related disorders.

Maybe you are suffering, but are not sure why or have trouble speaking about it. Perhaps you've noticed that you keep repeating the same patterns, but are not certain how. I have worked for over ten years with people suffering from a range of symptoms, those who have suffered with trauma and loss, and those dealing with problems in loving and/or working. I enjoy working with those who identify as LGBT+, queer or kinky, with racial, ethnic, and religious minority individuals, and those from a range of socio-economic backgrounds.

Psychoanalysis and psychoanalytic psychotherapy are intensive treatment modalities that promote increased self-understanding, symptom relief, and lasting psychological change. As people come to better understand how themselves, they can find new ways to achieve more satisfying lives and relationships.

My belief is that the most caring thing a therapist can offer is pushing a client towards their long term goals, while also recognizing and validating the fact that change can be very difficult! I use this dialectical approach with all clients, however the first step is clarifying what is important to YOU, not necessarily to the people around you. I see the relationship of a therapist and client to be one of two equals, working symbiotically together. Whether you are dealing with anxiety, depression, grief, relationship challenges, or simply looking to better understand yourself, I am excited to be a part of your journey!

My goal is to be the last therapist you have to see, that when we are done working together you have the skills to be able to manage life on your own. I love facilitating change and would love to help you develop a better way of being.

My areas of clinical interest include: personality disorders, depression & mood disorders, anxiety, trauma, relationship & intimacy issues, creative/artistic blocks and issues specific to athletes and athletic performance, and individual & family transitions.
Humans are meaning-making creatures, and I understand psychotherapy as an opportunity to turn distress and suffering into self-knowledge that allows us to live rich, dynamic lives. When symptoms limit our capacity to thrive and enjoy life, attention must be brought to the layers of experience that have shaped our minds and our identities. I believe that therapy is an opportunity for collaborative reflection and the therapeutic relationship is a primary source of healing and change.

When human beings experience various forms of traumas or extreme life stressors, it is not uncommon for their lives to unravel. What interest me into the mental health field initially, was that anxiety and depression was prevalent in my family. I wanted to understand and become more knowledgeable about the mental health issues my family suffered. It became my mission to help others moving forward, to recover from anxiety and depression. My desire became to help my clients not only recover from anxiety and depression, but to become the greatest version of theirselves.

Waitlist for new clients
I'm Chenitha Coleman! Your devoted therapist! You may be feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or disconnected — weighed down by unspoken expectations, relationship patterns, or emotional wounds that haven’t fully processed. Maybe you’ve done a lot for others and are just now realizing how much you’ve neglected your own needs.

As of 9/1/2025 I have a waitlist until Jan 1, 2026 currently not accepting new clients.

Personality Disorders Therapists
What are the common treatment options for personality disorders?
Personality disorders are typically treated with psychotherapy, sometimes in conjunction with medication. Therapy can help people with personality disorders develop skills to tolerate difficult emotions, navigate interpersonal relationships, and solidify their sense of self. Medications can treat symptoms that co-occur with the disorder, such as depression, anger, aggression, and impulsivity.
When to seek treatment for personality disorders?
Even though treatment for personality disorders can be an uphill battle, it’s best to seek help if you suspect that you or a loved one is struggling with one, because personality disorders can create substantial problems in life. Symptoms depend on the specific disorder, but overall signs of personality disorders include consistent difficulty maintaining close relationships, dramatic variations in self-esteem, and an unstable sense of identity.
How long does therapy take for personality disorders?
The timeline for treating personality disorders isn’t as clear-cut as it is for other disorders. Change can be difficult, taking from around one year to five, 10, or more. The key is finding a therapist who has extensive experience treating the relevant disorder. For example, a psychologist who specializes in narcissistic personality disorder has specific communication strategies that allow them to sustain the relationship and be more effective with narcissistic patients.
Can therapy help people with personality disorders?
Research suggests that for those who are motivated to address concerns or interpersonal conflict related to a personality disorder, therapy is far more effective than no treatment, and that most people in therapy see improvements. However, since personality disorders involve entrenched elements of identity, they are less responsive to treatment than are other mental health conditions. Finding an expert who has extensive experience working with a given personality disorder is one factor that increases the likelihood of successful treatment.
