There’s nothing wrong with you. You’re just tired of pretending you’re fine.

You don’t have to keep holding it together. Here, you get to be real. You get to rest. You get to begin again.

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.

Not too long ago, I was in that same chapter of life. There was constant change and my brain was quiet chaos. I’ve walked through anxiety, ADHD, and the journey of eating disorder recovery myself. These experiences don’t define me, but they do help me relate deeply to what my clients are going through. I understand that healing doesn’t follow a script. Some days it’s messy. Some days it’s great. My job is to show up with compassion, patience, and an open heart no matter where you are on your path.

A Safe Space to Be Seen, Heard, and Held

I'm not here to fix you. I'm here to walk beside you. At Kind Heart Counseling, I work with teens and young adults navigating the messy middle of life where anxiety, identity, grief, and growth meet. With empathy, curiosity, and care, I offer a space where you can explore your story and shape what comes next.

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:

RO-DBT Icon

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.

CBT Icon

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 Icon

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
