Sapphire Coker

My communication style

I'm energetic, accommodating, and personable. I want you to feel comfortable sharing anything without judgment. I'll become someone you trust to create space when you're struggling. I treat clients with respect and kindness, with enough pushback to challenge old thinking patterns and grow.

My journey to mental healthcare

I wanted to help others. I began pursuing Psychology and quickly fell in love with this unique way of helping. After volunteering as a peer counselor, I was hooked. I knew from then on that being a therapist was my passion and purpose.

My goals for you

I believe goal-setting should be entirely cooperative. I will work with you to identify what you want to get out of our sessions and ask questions along the way to ensure we are making progress. I will prioritize building trust with you and ensuring therapy becomes a safe space. Once you are comfortable, I will use your goals to guide our sessions.

Our first session

I use the first session as an opportunity for mutual learning. I will ask questions about your history, your current concerns, and your expectations for our time together. I will also give you time to ask questions about me and my approach. I want you to leave feeling confident that I will be able to gain your trust and help you feel better.
