Meet the Heart Behind Kind Heart
Hi, I’m Chelyan, and I’m here to help.
Through compassionate, evidence-based therapy, we’ll work together to understand your anxiety, challenge perfectionism, and build a healthier relationship with food and your body.
You’ll leave with tools to navigate uncomfortable emotions, set boundaries, and trust yourself with more confidence and clarity.
It is not always easy to explain why things feel overwhelming.
You might be doing your best to look fine on the outside while your mind keeps running on the inside. Maybe you find yourself checking things more than usual, snapping at the people you care about even when you do not mean to, or noticing that thoughts about food, your body, or routines are taking up more of your head space than you want.
Underneath all of that is often a quiet feeling you do not say out loud: that no one fully understands what you are carrying.
You are not trying to be dramatic. You are not trying to push anyone away. You are tired from holding so much in and trying to manage everything on your own.
If you are a parent, you may see a similar shift in your teen even though they seem to be doing fine from the outside. You can tell something feels off, and simply trying harder is not making things better.
Therapy can give you or your teen a steady, grounded place to understand what is going on and feel more supported.
I work most meaningful with clients ages 12 & up who:
Feel sensitive, overwhelmed, or easily affected by the world around them
Think a lot and have trouble turning their mind off
Keep things together on the outside but feel stressed or exhausted inside
Feel irritable or shut down with the people they are closest to
Struggle with worry, pressure, or perfectionism
Notice food, body image, or routines taking up more space than they want
The Clients I Support
What to Expect
Therapy gives you space to talk things through and understand yourself without pressure.
We slow things down, make sense of what feels overwhelming, and notice the patterns that are getting in your way. The goal is not to fix everything at once but to help you feel more grounded and clear in your day to day life.
You can expect support with things like overwhelm, overthinking, academic or work pressure, body image concerns, and day to day stress that has started to feel unmanageable.
You deserve support that helps you feel secure in your body and confident in your choices, even when life is uncertain.

Starting therapy doesn’t have to feel overwhelming. Here’s what you can expect:
Schedule a Consult Call
Start by scheduling a free 15–20 minute phone consultation. We’ll talk about what’s bringing you (or your child) to therapy and see if Kind Heart feels like the right fit.
Intake Paperwork & Forms
If we decide to move forward, we’ll book a 60-minute intake session (in person or virtual – $200). Before we meet, you’ll receive secure online forms to complete, so I can come prepared with care and clarity.
Begin Your Therapy Journey
During our first session, we’ll get to know each other, explore your goals, and build a plan together. We’ll also set up a weekly time that works for you to begin your therapy journey with consistency and support.
Therapy that moves at your pace... never rushed or pushed
Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy
I integrate principles from Radically Open Dialectical Behavior Therapy (RO-DBT), an approach that helps loosen the grip of overcontrol, perfectionism, and emotional inhibition. Together, we gently challenge the rigid patterns and aim to create space for more flexibility, connection, and authentic self-expression.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT)
I use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help untangle the constant negative thoughts that can feel overwhelming. We explore the story your mind is telling and look for gentler, more balanced ways of thinking that support your growth and well-being.
Mindfulness & Self-Compassion Practices
I incorporate mindfulness and self-compassion practices to help you respond to challenges with gentleness, not judgment. Instead of getting caught in self-criticism or urgency to fix, we learn to notice your inner experience with curiosity and care by building a more grounded and compassionate way of relating to yourself.
Frequently Asked Questions
-
The first session is a space for us to meet, talk about what’s bringing you in, and explore what you’re hoping for in the therapy process. There’s no pressure to share everything at once. It’s okay to feel unsure or nervous!
-
My standard rate for 50 minute individual sessions is $180.
The initial intake session is 60 minutes and the rate is $200.

I believe therapy should be accessible and I reserve a small number of reduced-rate sessions for clients with financial need. These spaces are limited and intended for those who otherwise would not be able to access care. If that’s your situation, please let me know on your inquiry form, and we can explore options together.
-
I am an out-of-network provider, which means I don’t accept insurance directly. However, I can provide a superbill you can submit for possible reimbursement through your insurance company.
Before scheduling, you can contact your insurance company to ask about out-of-network mental health coverage.
-
Most clients begin with weekly or biweekly sessions to build connection and a strong foundation for our work together. Over time, we may decide to meet less often as you feel more grounded and confident using the skills and insights from therapy in your daily life.
-
Absolutely. When I work with clients under 18, I include parents or caregivers as part of the process in a supportive way. I believe therapy works best when teens have privacy to open up and parents feel connected to the process. We’ll find the right balance together as it looks a little different for every family.

Yes. I offer sessions online via a secure HIPAA compliant platform for individuals across Georgia.
