Hello, and thank you for taking the time to visit my page! As a psychotherapist and board-approved supervisor for LGPCs and master's level clinicians, I am grateful for the opportunity to support clients in their healing journey. My approach is rooted in metacognitive perspective, which involves helping clients develop new ways to control their attention and relate to negative thoughts and beliefs. In addition to my metacognitive approach, I am trained in CBT and Neurofeedback. I've found these approaches to be particularly effective in treating clients with anxiety, PTSD, OCD, depression, ASD, and ADHD.

My name is Sierra Coleman, and helping people is my calling. I feel lucky to be able to call myself a therapist as it’s my passion. I believe that each client has their own unique set of challenges and responds in their own way to different interventions, therefore my orientation is deeply person centered with an emphasis on experiential therapy. I believe that problems are interwoven parts of the whole person (mind, body, environment, and the interpersonal) and see counseling as a collaborative process to empower my clients.

As a queer, body positive,
sex positive
clinician, I want you to know that there's no pressure to act a certain way in therapy.
I believe that we already hold the knowledge and power to heal within ourselves. But what happens if we don’t have the support or courage to do so on our own? That’s where I come in! As your therapist, my goal is to support you on your pathway to healing- whatever that may look like to you. Shame, body image, grief, anxiety, 2SLGBTQ+ concerns, relationship struggles, and children and youth navigating gender identity are all areas of focus in my work. I have a particular interest in supporting those considering conceiving/gestating. Taking that step can feel scary and polarizing in our binary filled world.

I also enjoy working with those in non-traditional romantic relationships (i.e. ethically non-monogamous, polyamorous). I am LGBTQIA- affirming and
sex positive
. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.

Are you navigating a transition in your life, experiencing an unusual amount of stress, or finding it difficult to get out of bed in the morning? Do you want to better understand yourself and your relationships with your partner, family, friends, or coworkers? You are wired for belonging and connection and want intimacy and authenticity in your relationships. When these needs are not being met, you feel detached, adrift, sad, and irritable. It is difficult, but this can be the perfect opportunity for creating a new, healthier "normal."

A former Spanish teacher, Cari discovered her favorite part of working in the classroom was the relationships she built with her students and supporting them through their hardships. During her undergraduate program, Cari worked with a local youth center to empower young people by educating them about the powers of their brain and thought patterns. This work has inspired her to empower others to face challenges, embrace trial and error, and to grow in any direction they choose.
