As a therapist who has walked a similar path, I understand how difficult it can be to move forward when you feel stuck or overwhelmed by challenges that seem insurmountable. I firmly believe in each person’s capacity for growth, resilience, and meaningful change, even under the most difficult of circumstances. You are the expert on your own life: my role is to help you strengthen that expertise with clarity and confidence. As a result, I work best with clients who are prepared to engage actively in the therapeutic process and apply these principles beyond sessions.

Come to therapy as you are, leave as you want to be. Everyone has a story. I show up in sessions curious about your story and empower you to rewrite it. This is done by exploring themes more in depth, understanding the layers of meanings and the complexity of your narrative. My ideal client is everyone ready to do the work, collectively. My treatment modalities are eclectic, due to my expansive background, person centered and tailored to each client's needs. Sessions are curated to be safe spaces to reach treatment goals. Goals are developed by envisioning what your life looks like after you no longer need or want therapy.

I know how hard it can be to reach out for support, especially when you’re feeling overwhelmed, stuck, or unsure of where to start. If you’re here, it likely means that a part of you is ready for change, and I want you to know, you don’t have to figure it out alone. I am a trauma-trained therapist working with clients and other clinicians. My work is rooted in the belief that healing happens through genuine connection and that therapy should feel like a compassionate, collaborative relationship rather than something clinical or distant.

Hi, I'm Call — thank you for visiting my profile. I specialize in working with individuals who struggle with issues of both over-control, such as OCD and anxiety, and under-control, including depression, PTSD, and borderline personality disorder. Many of the people I work with feel stuck — caught in the same patterns, repeating the same behaviors, and telling themselves the same stories. My goal is to help you break free from those cycles and build a life that feels meaningful, fulfilling, and aligned with your values.

A client isn't someone who has everything figured out, it’s someone who is willing to show up, be honest, and engage in the process of change. Therapy works best when there’s a genuine desire to explore emotions, patterns, and challenges, even when that journey feels uncomfortable. Most importantly, You do not need to be “ready” in a perfect way. You can come to therapy feeling lost, hurt, confused, or overwhelmed. What matters is your willingness to take the first step towards healing making positive changes. My goal is to us this safe space support you, challenge you, and explore alternate ways of thinking to achieve growth.

If you are anxious, feel helpless, or overwhelmed, you are not alone. Despite what is happening in the world, we still have to go on, manage our relationships, do our work, and face our fears. Anxiety and depression make it hard to understand how to move forward when you may not have a clear sense of where forward is right now. I take a problem-solving approach, and while not every problem has a quick fix, once you see it for what it is, there is usually a way to quiet the noise and make it better. You have more power than you think.

Struggling with the past intruding into the present? Trauma, whether we’ve lived with it for decades or days, tends to reverberate through our lives in powerful and often unpredictable ways. Feeling worn down by a society where your humanity is a matter of public debate? It’s tough for queer and trans people to find time to be vulnerable when our identities are under attack. Are you an activist running low on steam? Collective liberation is critical to changing the social conditions that cause our suffering, but caring for our individual mental health needs allows us to challenge those conditions with clear eyes and open hearts.

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. My ideal client is someone who’s ready to try to explore the “why” behind their emotional responses, the “how” is this showing up in my life, and the “what” can we do to bring change. As of 9/1/2025 I have a waitlist until Jan 1, 2026 currently not accepting new clients.

Suicidal Ideation Therapists
How does therapy for suicidal ideation work?
Stress, depression, anxiety, or upsetting circumstances can give rise to suicidal thinking. Therapy can address the events at the core of an individual’s suffering. Understanding why a person may be suicidal can help the therapist and the patient discover alternative methods of coping. A person with suicidal ideation may be mired in catastrophic thinking, and treatment like cognitive behavioral therapy is a good choice for breaking such patterns. In addition, treatment such as acceptance and commitment therapy can help a person manage their distress through better emotion regulation.

Which therapies are best for suicidal ideation?
Specific approaches used by professionals include cognitive behavioral, dialectical behavior, psychodynamic, acceptance and commitment therapies, among others. Cognitive behavioral and dialectical behavior therapies are two widely used therapies that can help individuals with painful thoughts and past traumas. These therapies help an individual tolerate distress, regulate emotions, and not act on dangerous urges.

Are there specific medications to be combined with therapy?
The use of medication for suicidal thoughts must be aligned with the underlying cause; conditions such as depression, anxiety, and psychosis may be at the root of suicidal ideation. A psychiatrist may prescribe medications for symptoms, which may include antipsychotics such as aripiprazole or antidepressants such as selective serotonin reuptake inhibitors.

How often and how long are therapy sessions for suicidal ideation?
As with any type of therapy, sessions depend on the individual. Patients may see improvement within 15 to 20 sessions, at an average of 50 minutes per session, while others may opt for 20 to 30 sessions over, perhaps, a six-month period. Still other patients, especially those with co-occurring conditions like major depression and anxiety, may need to continue sessions for up to 12 to 18 months. In some cases, residential treatment may be recommended for an individual who is judged to be at high risk of self-harm.
