My ideal client is motivated for therapy.

The journey of life can lead us to challenging spaces and take unexpected turns. You may find yourself needing support, direction, or relief. Therapy maybe just the support you need to guide you through your experiences. It’s a safe space that promotes healing and growth.

Do you feel overwhelmed? Do you overthink? Do you treat your mind as a vault of secrets and emotions that are hurting you? The journey of life is full of ups and downs. There is no way to predict what may happen or how those experiences may impact you. The things we experience are not always easy to communicate with others and sometimes we do not want to be in fear of being judged. Therapy can help you navigate through life when unexpected trauma resurfaces, when change feels scary, or any issues that cause your emotions to become imbalanced.

My ideal client seeks a therapist who understands the complexities of their lived experiences. They may be struggling with issues like trauma, addiction, stress, anxiety, depression, relationship difficulties, identity struggles, life transitions, existential concerns, or oppression. They would come to me because they need a safe, nonjudgmental space to explore their emotions and experiences, seeking personal growth, well-being, and fulfillment. They choose me for support in achieving a fulfilling life, recognizing my capacity to guide them through personal growth and empower them to access their transformative potential.

Choosing a psychotherapist can be a challenging process and we often find ourselves doing it when we are already stressed. I strive to create a tranquil, accepting atmosphere in my work, while my patients also say they enjoy the laughter that we can sometimes find in the midst of our explorations. My approach focuses on identifying patients' existing strengths and increasing their capacities to cope with stress so as to lead more satisfying lives. I take a "best-tool-for-the-job," integrative approach, drawing from a range of psychotherapeutic orientations, all supported by solid science.

My name is Kelini Coker and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor in both Maryland and Virginia. I work with mostly adults and couples. I typically work with people impacted by life transitions, narcissistic partner/parental abuse, as well as 1st/2nd generation immigrants in navigating cultural and societal pressures. I wanted to be a therapist because I felt there was a need in my community. I wanted to be a safe and familiar space that dispels the idea that we should keep our worries and "problems" to ourselves.

Ideally, I'd treat clients with a trauma history. Someone with a mixture of short and long term trauma. My ideal client is eager to learn and wants to find a way to become their own safe space. Someone who wants to learn how to set and maintain healthy boundaries, find out their triggers, and treat themselves with patience.
