Chamika Barrant

Chamika Barrant offers a thoughtful, nonjudgmental space where people can speak openly and begin to understand patterns that affect their lives. With five years of experience, she supports individuals facing stress, anxiety, low self-esteem, depression, coping with life changes, addictions, LGBT-related concerns, relationship difficulties, family conflict, grief, intimacy issues, anger management, and bipolar disorder, and she also provides coaching.

Chamika emphasizes that therapy is a place to explore feelings that are often tucked away from friends and family - issues tied to shame or guilt that can shape behavior over time. She encourages clients to move beyond self-examination alone, offering guided reflection that helps connect past experiences to present reactions.

Using cognitive behavioral therapy and mindfulness-based techniques, Chamika helps clients map their emotional cycles - linking experiences, feelings, behaviors, and consequences - and works with them to identify triggers and define what peace of mind looks like. She incorporates S.M.A.R.T. goals so progress can be tracked and measured, allowing clients to see tangible change as they work toward their objectives.

Based in New York, Chamika is licensed to practice in the state as a mental health counselor. Her approach is professional yet approachable, aiming to make therapy a practical resource for people who may feel they should just “deal with it” on their own. She invites those ready to explore change to take the next step and begin the work together.
