Elizabeth Coleman

Therapist

Therapy with me isn't about me telling you what to do or handing you a workbook and calling it healing. What I've learned in doing this work since 2016 — in community mental health centers, residential programs, child welfare — is that people don't need more advice. They need someone who will actually sit with them in the hard stuff and help them figure out their own way through.

I work with adults who are dealing with anxiety, depression, trauma, codependency, relationship struggles, and life transitions — including the ones nobody warned you about. I'm based in Mississippi and see all my clients via telehealth through Headway's platform, which means you get the same quality care from your living room that you'd get in any office.
