Kendella Coleman, LPC — Therapist in Michigan

Hi there, I'm Kendella!

I believe every person deserves to live a life of peace—emotionally, financially, physically, and spiritually. Clients often come to therapy feeling anxious and afraid. I strive to ease this discomfort with my caring, open, and empathetic presence. Through acceptance, committed action, and professional support, lasting change is possible.

My focus

I work with individuals seeking relief from anxiety, emotional distress, relationship challenges, life transitions, self-esteem issues, and stress. My goal is to help you explore and process your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors to improve your quality of life and restore your sense of peace.

My approach

I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Psychodynamic Therapy, Behavioral Therapy, and Humanistic Therapy to help you explore patterns and create meaningful change. My approach is flexible and tailored to your unique needs, focusing on what works best for you. Together, we'll find practical strategies that support your growth and well-being.

My communication style

Sessions with me are welcoming, comfortable, and free from distractions. I create a safe, confidential space where you can speak openly without judgment. Clients often describe feeling a strong sense of safety and trust while working with me, which allows for deeper exploration and healing.

My journey to mental healthcare

I've spent decades in helping professions, encountering people from all walks of life facing challenges that disturbed their peace. Those experiences inspired my counseling journey. What drives me is knowing that change is possible when effort is applied, and that I can assist clients in creating meaningful transformation.

My goals for you

I approach goal setting collaboratively, working with you to create specific, measurable, achievable, relevant, and time-bound objectives. Through active listening and open communication, I ensure you feel ownership over your goals. We'll review progress regularly and adapt as needed based on your feedback.

Our first session

Our first session includes introductions and building rapport. I'll gather information about your concerns, explore your background, and discuss potential therapy goals. Together, we'll create a collaborative treatment plan while ensuring you feel comfortable and understood throughout the process.
