Hello. I am pleased that you are taking time to learn more about me and my practice philosophy.

I am a Doctor of Psychology practicing as a licensed mental health counselor. I am a licensed in both Florida and Virginia. I have been practicing in the field, helping individuals achieve healthy happier lives, as an individual, in their personal relationships and at work, for over 21 years. I have worked with clients who have a wide range of concerns including depression, anxiety, relationship issues, parenting problems, and career challenges, to name a few. I also assist many people who have experienced physical trauma or emotional abuse.

My counseling style is warm and interactive. I believe in treating everyone with respect, sensitivity, and compassion, and I do not believe in stigmatizing labels. I meet you where you are and am focused in assisting you in reaching your personal goals.

My approach combines cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, other Cognitive Behavioral therapies, Motivational Interviewing, Solution Focused Therapy, Emotion Focused Therapy, and Structural Family Therapy, as well as Art Therapy.

I have experience working with children, adolescents, adults and families in a variety of settings and phases of life. Each experiencing a range of life struggles and mental health concerns. My areas of specialty include working with those struggling with anxiety, depression, life transitions, grief/loss, ADHD and family issues, both parenting and couples.

My counseling approach is eclectic in that I use what makes sense to my client’s needs. Predominantly, I use client-centered, cognitive behavioral and solution-focused therapies in addition to elements of mindfulness. I am passionate about helping others feel good about themselves and effectively manage through life’s trials and

tribulations, in an effort to lead a life of purpose, fulfillment, and joy.

I always consider feedback I receive from clients. I believe that YOU have the answers and I am there to assist you in locating these answers and use them to fulfill your goals and enrich your life. As we take this journey together, I am sure that we will be able to use your strength and knowledge in combination with mine to get through any challenge you are facing. I can interact with you in whatever manner you are most comfortable.

I know how hard it can be to find a counselor who you feel a connection with. I would be honored to work with you through this stage of your life.

Online counseling, also known as teletherapy, is a method of delivering mental health services through digital means such as video conferencing, phone calls, or messaging platforms. It can be an ideal option for individuals who have difficulty accessing traditional therapy due to geographical distance, time constraints, or personal preferences like privacy and comfort. Many people find it easier to open up from the familiarity of their own space. Teletherapy has been found to be highly effective, with studies showing that it can produce similar outcomes to in-person therapy, particularly for issues like anxiety, depression, and PTSD. The flexibility and accessibility it offers make it a valuable alternative to conventional therapy settings.

Dr. Coffey is one in a million. Her vast experience, compassion, honest approach and attention to detail make her an excellent therapist.

Dr.Coffey listens to me, a lot of Dr’s don’t. She understands me and I really think she wants the best for me! I would recommend her to anyone!!

Apr 2024

After two sessions with Dr. Coffey I am feeling more control and a sense of joy! So very grateful I found her!

Oct 2023

Great listener and advice was very helpful! I truly felt like I was chatting with an Auntie or Big Sister that allows you to process your thoughts and emotions with some strategic advice and spiritual guidance.

Dec 2023

My therapist is knowledgeable and professional… I couldn’t ask for better help.

Sep 2023

Dr. Coffey has been a tremendous help to me in learning about how to set boundaries and what a healthy relationship should look like. She is very knowledgeable and makes me feel very comfortable even when I make poor choices. I highly recommend her.

Aug 2023

Dr. Coffey was great! She listened to my concerns and made me feel comfortable. I felt like I knew her from the first session. She has a very warm and welcoming personality. I looked forward to our sessions because I would feel so much better after each one. She helped me to see things differently and set boundaries in my relationships. I was also able to start on the path to my purpose. I feel more equipped to navigate life's challenges. Thank you Dr. Coffey!

Jul 2023

I cannot say enough good things about Dr. Coffey! I found her at a time in my life when I needed the most support and guidance, and she's been beyond helpful. After having worked with a handful of other mental health professionals (and feeling completely unseen and given no direction on how to improve my circumstances), she is hands-down the best in her field. I only wish I had found her sooner!

Jul 2023

Dr. Coffey is so knowledgeable and helpful. A true blessing.

Jun 2023

Dr Coffee is truly a blessing!

May 2023

I’m very thankful to have Dr. Coffey as my therapist. Better help found the perfect match to help me with my issues. She understands me and gives me ways to work on resolving my problems.

Mar 2023

Dr Coffey is the best listener. She hears and sees me. She is exactly what I need in my life right now. She must have sat in the first row of class and never missed a homework assignment. She is amazing.

Feb 2023

Attentive and Thought Provoking. She listens when I need to go into depth about an issue and gives great feedback afterward. She also asks questions that I would not think of on my own.

Feb 2023

I had my doubts as to whether online therapy would be helpful, but Dr. Coffey has been a godsend! She has helped me get through some challenges taking care of both my elderly mom and my son who has severe anxiety and depression. Dr. Coffey encouraged me to get services in place for my mom and has helped me understand the changes my mom is going through as she ages so that I don't get so frustrated with her and myself. She helps me find ways to cope when I am feeling overwhelmed or stressed out and reminds me to focus on the positive. I feel so lucky to have been matched with Dr. Coffey, and look forward to the calming time I spend with her each week. Thank you Better Help!
