Getting to know Karissa Coleman

Hi there, I'm Karissa! I’m a licensed professional counselor and founder of Beauty for Ashes Counseling Services. With over 18 years in mental health and a background in education, I help individuals navigate anxiety, depression, life transitions, and emotional burnout with compassion and clarity. My practice is rooted in the belief that healing is possible—even from the hardest places. Inspired by the idea of turning pain into purpose, Beauty for Ashes offers a safe, empowering space where clients can find peace, reclaim their strength, and begin again. My approach At Beauty for Ashes Counseling Services, I believe that healing doesn’t have to feel heavy all the time—it can also be hopeful, empowering, and deeply affirming. My approach is compassionate, down-to-earth, and tailored to your unique needs. I primarily use Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) to help you understand how your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors are connected. Together, we’ll identify unhelpful patterns and work on realistic, practical ways to shift them so you can feel more in control, more confident, and more at peace. I also incorporate Solution-Focused Counseling, which means we’ll spend time looking forward—focusing on your strengths, building on what’s already working, and setting small, achievable goals to help you move through challenges. You don’t have to have it all figured out. We’ll take it one step at a time, together. Whether you're navigating anxiety, life transitions, relationship stress, or simply feeling stuck, our work will be a collaborative process rooted in hope, honesty, and real progress. My focus At Beauty for Ashes Counseling Services, I work best with individuals who feel like they’ve been holding it all together on the outside but are exhausted, overwhelmed, or silently struggling on the inside. Maybe you’re navigating anxiety, depression, or burnout from trying to be everything to everyone.
