You feel like your anxiety is getting the best of you and feel like you no longer have control over your thoughts, feelings, and emotions. You are noticing that even when you try to take a break and focus on yourself, that your breath catches in your chest and then you feel it…the anxiety. You have a difficult time sleeping at night because you worry about the course of events that took place that day and the laundry list of things you have to do tomorrow. Worries such as: “Did I make a mistake at work?” “What did that person think of me?” “Am I being a good Partner/Parent/Friend” swirl like a tornado in your mind.

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.

A number of things can get in the way of us having the life that we want. My role in therapy is to help clients think through strategies to better enable themselves to navigate the transitions and the difficult circumstances they encounter to ultimately become the person they want to be. Therapy is about living an authentic life by taking action on the things that matter most to us, living in the direction of what we see as valuable, and engaging fully in what we do. Let me help you become "unstuck" from old patterns and develop the tools to live a more satisfying life. You do not have to figure this out on your own.

How does anyone choose a therapist? The variety of options are daunting, and while many, many people have been to or go to a therapist, it is not a topic easily discussed, so it can be hard to find a recommendation. Many people resort to picking the person whose face looked nice, or went to a school they recognize, or work in a convenient location or accept their insurance. Often these techniques are sufficient, but when they are not it is a great loss, as it takes so much courage to look for a therapist in the first place.

Do you know what it's like to have a narcissistic partner or did you grow up in a family with a narcissistic parent? Were you a scapegoat in your family dynamics and know what it's like to lose your voice? Are you a first or second generation immigrant with baggage that feels too daunting to unpack? Are you struggling to process grief? Do you long to find your voice again?

Congratulations on taking the first step towards empowerment, transformation and healing. The courage it takes to seek out a therapist should not be discounted or minimized; starting therapy can be scary. My approach to therapy is not a one-size-fits-all attitude/method. Using a holistic view, I take the time to learn about you, your values, and your goals for treatment. This allows me to collaborate with you and create a treatment experience that will be meaningful, healing, and rewarding and to support you on your journey of self-discovery and healing.

Individuals, families and couples realize, at some time, they need assistance to effectively deal with overwhelming life events, strained relationships, loss, anger, and life transitions. For over 20 years I have successfully helped people break self-defeating, unfulfilling patterns of relating and behaving so they can experience more joy, happiness and success in their personal and professional lives. I use a blend of psychodynamic, cognitive, behavioral and family systems therapy. My clients find me to be a very direct, open and engaging therapist, who provides safe space for even the most difficult issues and conflicts to be addressed and resolved.
