- LMHC
I am a cisgender, LGBTQIA+ Black woman who is wellness practitioner with access to many forms of healing. I am a Licensed Mental Health Counselor (LMHC), Licensed Creative Arts Therapist (LCAT), Registered Drama Therapist/Board Certified Trainer (RDT/BCT) and a Doctoral Student in Counselor Education and Supervision. I work to realign your soul through enchanting, intentional practices. I listen and collaborate with you to meet your needs, whether immediate, short-term, or long-term.
My approaches are integrative, drawing on theories from ecosystems, humanistic, psychodynamic, feminist, multicultural, trauma-informed, creative arts, and drama therapy. I view healing and professional development as a holistic process shaped by lived experiences, relationships, identities, emotions, and the systems that influence each person's life.
I believe in utilizing my creativity to enhance others’ creativity in the therapeutic process. I ensure that individuals and groups feel safe, seen, and heard throughout the therapeutic process. I am passionate about improving accessibility to quality mental health care. Please reach out if we align in any way!

Online counseling, sometimes called teletherapy, refers to talk therapy delivered remotely through digital platforms, such as video calls, phone calls, or chat. It can be a great option for people who face barriers to traditional face-to-face therapy, such as those living in remote areas, individuals with mobility issues, or people with busy schedules that make it difficult to attend in-person sessions.
Teletherapy also offers greater convenience and flexibility, allowing clients to access care from the comfort of their homes. Research shows that the treatment outcomes with online counseling are often just as effective as with traditional therapy, providing a viable alternative for individuals seeking mental health support.

Overall rating:
This is my first time doing therapy and she is a fantastic therapist. I went through a brutal breakup that hurt me deeply and it was very rough but she helped me through it. 10/10 would recommend.
Amazing!
Chabreah was a lot of help in a short amount of time and offered a judgement free safe place that allows healing to bloom. I highly recommend her!
My experience was great with Chabreah. I felt very validated and understood. Truly :)
Cha is a good listener, and is very empathetic. She always makes me feel understood and comfortable, even when I’m talking about trauma, and she has been there for me beyond scheduled hours, on one occasion. I’m very grateful for her work and support.
I've only had two sessions with Chabreah and I can't say how much I appreciate her. She is great at listening and has been educating me and helping me find ways to deal with my anxiety. I really feel like she cares and works hard to understand my struggles!
She has been such a great help to reorganize my thoughts and clarify my concerns. I feel better after talking to her.
