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 manage uncomfortable emotions, set boundaries, and trust yourself with more confidence and clarity.
Even though you’re kind, smart, and responsible, it feels exhausting to keep up. You overthink small things, put pressure on yourself to be perfect, and feel worn out from trying to appear “fine” around everyone else.
On the inside, you feel overwhelmed and unsure of how to slow down or feel more grounded, even though you’re trying your hardest.
When you try so hard to seem “fine,” it can feel lonely.
Therapy can help you feel more connected to yourself and what you need.
With talk therapy and evidence-based support, you can begin to:
Quiet the self-critical voice that fuels perfectionism
Express your needs without pressure or guilt
Feel more at ease in your body and around food
Build confidence rooted in self-trust rather than performance
Slow down enough to understand what your anxiety is trying to protect
Navigate uncomfortable emotions without shutting down or spiraling
A Safe Space Where You Don’t Have to Hold Everything Together
Feeling anxious, pressured, or overwhelmed doesn’t mean you’re weak. It means you’ve been trying to manage too much on your own for too long. Therapy gives you a place to slow down, step out of performance mode, and be honest about what you’re carrying.
You might worry that therapy will feel awkward or that you’ll be asked to share more than you’re ready for. You might even wonder if you’re “making too big of a deal out of things.”
It makes sense to feel unsure. You’re used to handling everything on your own.
You deserve support that helps you feel secure in your body and confident in your choices, even when life are 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.

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.
