I am a licensed psychotherapist specializing in faith based Christian counseling, narcissistic family systems, and inner child that is used to guide others through grief & loss, life transition, and unresolved inner child dynamics. I assist individuals in understanding and addressing the impact of past experiences on their current mental health and relationships. My professional goal is to create a safe, nurturing environment and provide you with the support and insights needed for lasting personal growth and positive well-being.

Get to know me

In our first session together, here's what you can expect

In our first session together, we'll start with brief introductions, then dive into the specific challenges you're facing. This will help me create a tailored plan for us to work through in follow-up sessions.

The biggest strengths that I bring into our sessions

One of my greatest strengths as a therapist is my ability to create a safe, grounded space where clients feel truly seen, heard, and emotionally understood. Many of the individuals I work with have experienced long-term relational trauma, including narcissistic family dynamics, emotional neglect, and identity-based wounds. I bring a calm, empathetic presence that helps clients feel secure enough to explore difficult experiences without fear of judgment. Beyond processing emotional pain, I help clients rebuild self-trust, establish healthy boundaries, and move from survival mode toward greater confidence, clarity, and emotional freedom.

The clients I'm best positioned to serve

I serve adults and families are experiencing grief, loss, anxiety, depression, life and family transitions, unresolved inner child wounds, and narcissistic family or relationship dynamics. Using evidence-based therapy/ faith-based approach, I help clients heal, strengthen self-worth, establish healthy boundaries, improve relationships, build resilience, and experience lasting emotional growth and personal transformation through compassionate collaborative care tailored to their unique needs.

Zelina Chinwoh was scheduled via Humana insurance. She had such a warm kindness, understanding and compassionate attitude/spirit. She provided a safe,judgement free space to unpack my thoughts, and emotions. I felt that I could not only openly express my feelings , but cry and laugh all in one session. I greatly appreciate having a therapist whose approach resonates with my specific needs. Great job.
