Therapy for teens and adults navigating anxiety, perfectionism, and body image concerns
In-person sessions in Roswell, GA and surrounding areas | Online therapy available anywhere in Georgia
“Healing is not about becoming someone new.
It’s about remembering who you were before the world asked you to be someone else.”
Meet the Heart Behind Kind Heart
I’m Chelyan McComas, a therapist who helps teens, young adults, and adults navigate anxiety, body image concerns, self-doubt, and the constant pressure to have it all together.
I understand what it’s like to be highly self-aware and to notice every thought and feeling but still feel unsure about how to make things different. My own lived experience through recovery and anxiety help me understand that change starts with compassion, not criticism.
In therapy, we will slow things down, make sense of the overthinking, and build room for confidence, self-compassion and healing to take hold.
A Safe Space to Be Seen, Heard, and Understood
I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to walk beside you. At Kind Heart Counseling, I work with clients ages 12 and up navigating eating disorders, anxiety, perfectionism, and the pressure to have it all together. Whether you feel stuck in rigid routines, overwhelmed by intrusive thoughts, or are feeling disconnected from your body, I offer a space where you can slow down, make sense of all that is weighing on you and begin to reconnect with yourself.
Available online and in person in Roswell, GA
How to get started?
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.
You're the expert on your life and I'm here to support your process, not rush it. Whether we're slowing down or speeding up, we go at your pace. I use evidence-based tools like:
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.

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.
