“unraveling stigmas, weaving hope“

“Welcome to CHATT, I’m Shea Collins M.Ed. Whether you’ve used counseling in the past or are new to the experience, I will meet you where you are, with empathy, genuine compassion, and acceptance. You will be welcomed with a comfortable, safe space, as well as convenient and flexible scheduling options for virtual sessions or in-person appointments. I look forward to working with you!

A quote by Sharon Salzberg with a background of tree branches with budding flowers. The text reads: 'SPACE Mindfulness works to give us some space from our thoughts so that we can choose whether we will take them to heart or let them go—at least until we can gather some more information.'

In-person and Virtual

In-person sessions are available in a convenient, ADA-accessible space with free parking. Many clients value the face-to-face connection and structured setting that in-person therapy provides.

For those who prefer flexibility, secure virtual sessions are also offered and can be accessed from any computer, tablet, or smartphone. Virtual therapy allows you to meet from the comfort of your own space, making it easier to fit sessions into a busy schedule.
