“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. ”

Getting to know Chamika Barrant
NBCC- National Board Certified Counselor
CCATP- Certified Clinical Anxiety Professional
CMDP- Certified Mood Disorder Professional
Therapy is essential because it provides the safest space to be our authentic selves. It allows us to speak our unapologetic truth without fear of judgment by family and friends. Many have experienced shame and guilt—do we run to family and friends to share these feelings? Often, no. These repressed thoughts manifest in our lives, and this is where therapy helps.
Many misunderstand the importance of having a therapist, feeling they can handle life’s challenges alone. While self-determination is valuable, it doesn’t always allow for authentic revelations. It’s like cross-examining yourself—are we truly capable of asking ourselves the tough questions or connecting past trauma to current behavior? If you can, that’s great; if not, therapy offers the opportunity for life-changing insights.
Using Cognitive Behavioral Therapy and Mindfulness, I help you connect the dots—understanding your emotional cycle: experiences, feelings, behaviors, and consequences. We identify triggers and define what peace of mind looks like for you. Using S.M.A.R.T. goals, we set measurable objectives so you can track your success in real time. Your success is my success!
I earned my Master’s in Mental Health Counseling from Mercy University, equipping me with the skills to support you on this journey.
In closing, as we age, the expectation is to “just deal with it,” but dealing with certain feelings alone is not always easy. Therapy can help.
What should a new client know about working with you?
Working with me is a journey of self discovery.
What is your typical process for working with clients?
The initial visit will be your opportunity to talk about what led you to therapy. You will be educated on Cognitive Behavioral Therapy. From there you will learn how to identify mal adaptive thoughts that may be contributing to mal adaptive behaviors. We will work to identify your triggers and see if there are any unhealthy defense mechanisms at play and finally we will determine the healthiest way for you to manage your emotional response's to minimize distress.

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.

Chamika is the first therapist I've ever sat with and I must say I do appreciate her level of professionalism, compassion and understanding.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.

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.
More than 1 year agoAZ
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!
