Therapy is essential because it provides the safest space for us to be our most authentic self. Therapy allows us to speak our unapologetic truth without fear of judgement by family and friends. Think about this... Most people have had experiences/feelings that are connected to shame and guilt? Do we run to family and friends to share these experiences/feelings? Those of us that answer no should understand how these repressed thoughts/feelings manifest in our lives, and this is where therapy comes in!
Many people misunderstand the importance of having a Therapist. A lot of people feel like they can deal with life's challenges on their own. While self-determination is great it does not allow for authentic revelations. Self-determination in this sense is equivalent to cross examining yourself on the witness stand. Think about it...are we truly capable of asking ourselves the tough questions? Do we have the insight to go deep and connect past experiences to current events? Can we say to ourselves hmmm... I just connected my past trauma to the manifestation of some of my problematic behavior. If you have that level of insight, then that is great however if you are among the many that cannot then please allow yourself the opportunity to benefit from therapy. Therapy can help you discover some revelations that may change your life!
Using Cognitive Behavior Therapy I will help you connect the dots. I will help you understand your emotional cycle (experiences, feelings, behaviors and consequences). I will help you identify your triggers and determine what peace of mind looks like for you.
Do you have on an emotional coat of armor or an emotion jacket? Together we can decide if it’s time to take it off!
In closing... As we get older the expectation is that we can 'just deal with it' but the reality is this...Dealing with certain feelings and emotions is not that easy to do alone. Choosing to have a Therapist in your life is the best way to 'just deal with it' So let's get started!
Hope to hear from you soon

NLVerified patient
Chamika is very professional! She cares deeply about assisting her clients on their healing journey.
JLVerified patient
Chamika is amazing and I am so grateful to have found her. When I started therapy my self esteem and self worth were at an all time low. Chamika has really helped me reframe my thoughts and manage my emotional spirals. Today I feel more mentally and emotionally stable than ever before. She is a great listener, she challenges you to dig deep, and works with you to help you with whatever you're going through. 10 out of 10. She is truly the best of the best.
YDVerified patient
Met all of my expectations. Was on time, kind, communicated thoughtfully and clearly, and very informative regarding our next steps moving forward.

Chamika has been a breath of fresh air. It's a great feeling to be seen and heard and understood. I would recommend her practice to anyone seeking to do the self work necessary to show up as the best human they can be.
HWVerified patient
Chamika is the first therapist I've ever sat with and I must say I do appreciate her level of professionalism, compassion and understanding.
JDVerified patient
Chamika Barrant is amazing at listening and paying attention to what you need to take care of. One thing I really appreciate is her way of challenging your thought process further than what you think you can perceive. Very aware, kind and always patient. You have to want to do the work yourself and she will always want to guide you to the best version of yourself. She also gives homework so you can have something for the next session to focus on.
FDVerified patient
Chamika is an excellent therapist who brings a rare combination of compassion, insight, and professionalism to every session. She creates a safe, supportive space where I feel truly heard and understood, helping me navigate my emotions with clarity and confidence. Her thoughtful, intentional questions guide me to uncover patterns and cycles of behavior that I hadn’t fully recognized—patterns I desperately needed to change. One of the most powerful lessons Chamika has taught me is that adding therapy to my self-care routine is the best form of love I can show myself. Through her guidance, I’ve not only found healing but have begun to embrace the version of me that’s growing stronger every day.
JKVerified patient
Chamika is an excellent therapist. She validates my concerns and struggles while helping me to view things with a new perspective. She's an excellent listener who helps me to learn new ways of looking at situations to manage and improve my thoughts and feelings. I'm very glad to have her help.
CMVerified patient
What sets Chamika apart is her incredible ability to balance compassion with insight. She doesn’t just listen — she helps connect the dots in a way that’s both eye-opening and empowering. Every session feels purposeful, and I always walk away with a deeper understanding of myself and actionable tools to move forward. I cannot recommend Chamika highly enough. If you’re looking for a therapist who is thoughtful, intuitive, skilled, and genuinely invested in your well-being, look no further.
GRVerified patient
Professional, thoughtful and helped guide me to be in a more grounded space. Provides new perspectives. Highly recommend Chamika.
AOVerified patient
I've been going to Dr Barrant for a couple of sessions now. I wanted to wait before I gave an honest review. I felt comfortable from day 1 (which is rare) She has amazing energy and does a great job at pulling things out of you. I feel the growth and geniually look foward to all my sessions.
ASVerified patient
Chamika is amazing! Her energy is very welcoming, she is kind, patient and most importantly she is attentive. She gives out great advice and comes up with a plan fo treatment.
KCVerified patient
Ms. Barrant really changed my outlook on therapy. Don’t walk, run to book an appointment because the work we’re doing is life-altering.
NHVerified patient
Ms . Barrant is amazingggggggg !
I love how she makes sure she does not miss any important issues or concerns that should be addressed even if you do. She holds you accountable and she doesn’t also recognizes your strengths and weaknesses. She gives you task to focus on in the pursuit of your mental and physical health. I would recommend her to any one who needs someone that’s going to really be dedicated to a life change that promotes inner and outer peace. I’d rather not recommend her because that might leave limited time for me but I don’t believe in holding on to gems that can help many others as well so thank me later.
TCVerified patient
I think Ms. Barrant is amazing. I have been doing therapy off and on for some time now because I never really feel like the therapist I have is really invested in my well being or even understands me.
Ms. Barrant is very analytical and often brain storms as a process of confirming. resolving and evaluating situations. She never misses the point.
TCVerified patient
Chamika is professional, yet comforting to speak to. She takes the time to consider your thoughts and emotions. Her CBT approach has made me see myself in a different light! I would recommend her to anyone.
SMVerified patient
I appreciate her insight and time she takes to help me work through my issues. The price is affordable even with my terrible insurance.
DPVerified patient
Chamika was very patient and kind in helping me in the sessions. She takes her time and asks pointed questions to help get to the underlying root causes. I enjoy my time talking with Chamika and I find it very beneficial for my mental health and personal development.
RFVerified patient
Chamika is the best therapy you can ask for. She listens to you carefully and vocalize very strategic and impactful solutions to the issue or issues you are facing. She cares deeply about your well being, she is more than just a therapist, she is a life couch, a mentor, and an amazing role model. I leave every session one step closer to becoming better and with very useful tools and advice to apply throughout my life.
RBVerified patient
Chamika is very compassionate and encouraging. She is also very attentive during our sessions and always keeps track of what we go over each week so that we can have the most productive sessions possible. I highly recommend her!
GLVerified patient
It was great talk to her, feel comfortable
May 2, 2024Charles B.Verified patient
Chamika has been so helpful. I was nervous about starting therapy, but she made me feel comfortable from day one. The first match I had was not the right fit so I was hesitant to try again. I am so happy that I made the decision to search again. Chamika strikes the perfect balance of listening and providing her perspective or concrete advice on things that may help support me in my journey. I can't recommend her enough.
KLVerified patient
My session Chamika was great. She listen to my concerns and help me understand my challenges that are effecting my everyday task. I enjoy my therapy Session chamika.
BPVerified patient
Chamika Barrant is amazing. She has a warm essence about her. She doesn’t tell me what to think instead she helps me think for myself. She helps me on my journey of becoming a better person. I look forward to our sessions also. She also helps me make things click she’s gentle and kind and she really gets to the root of things. She helps me see things in a different perspective while being my authentic self. A safe place to truly open up and heal different part's of myself. My self esteem has grown, my outlook on life has changed and more importantly I can honestly say I wholeheartedly love myself from the inside out.

I was thankful for this visit today because we discovered something that I didn't even fully realize was an issue. I can now more past that barrier.
RBVerified patient
Camika is amazing!
ERVerified patient
Chamika is the most amazing therapist! She not only listens intently, but also offers helpful commentary and advice. For the first time, I feel like therapy is making a big difference in my life.
AZVerified patient
I never believed in having a therapist until I met Chamika… not only has she given me her time and dedication to helping me figure out my life long list of problems but she’s given me great advice and tips to moving forward in life. I was in a very dark place when we met and although a lot of these things I was dealing with are not relevant so much in life we constantly get curveballs thrown at us and she helps me every time to see them through. I highly recommend her as a therapist/ life coach/ someone to hear you. I can definitely say I am finally being heard!
