About me
Hi! My name is Kelini Coker and I am a Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor. I received my bachelor's degree in Psychology and master's degree in Community Counseling at McDaniel College where I discovered a passion for working with teens and emerging adults. Now more than ever, growing up as a teenager is difficult with challenges and pressures that very few understand. My sessions are a safe space to unpack and decompress without judgement. My heart's work is to help clients navigate challenges due to life-event transitions, family of origin struggles, trauma, depression, anxiety, identity formation, and more. I utilize an eclectic framework comprised of Person-centered Counseling, Existential Counseling, Cognitive reframing and Mindfulness, in hopes of meeting clients where they are, moving at their pace, helping them find meaning in their journey, and assisting them in moving closer to their goals.
I look forward to walking alongside you on the path towards your personal best self!

Reviews
These quotes represent just a few of the many positive reviews that we have received for Kelini Coker. We don't pay anyone to provide their review and they are all made voluntarily. Some people's experience receiving therapy with Teen Counseling might be different.
She is so caring and gently. She is always quick to respond and is very respectful. I appreciate her expertise but also how she is not shy to say when she does not know something. She has been a great addition to my life
Kelini Coker has a calm, soothing voice and is wiser beyond her years. She allows clients to open up without any sense that time is ticking. At the same time is able to digest and assess quickly the patients needs. Would recommend her for those who need help organizing thoughts and feelings.
My teen loves her.
She is very caring and a good listener.
Our therapist Kelini is very understanding, precise, empathetic towards our goals and needs. I love the way she instructs us to do homework assignments to try and get to re connect with one another and meet our needs to help our relationship. So far so good! We would highly recommend her for a couples therapist!
Kelini really HEARS you and gets to the root of the issue right away. I appreciate her guidance and support in the last few months- as well as her compassionate approach. Truly grateful for my time with her!
She’s really nice and it’s okay to open up to her.
Great all around counseling.
She’s really great !
Ms. Coker is great, she makes me feel like I’m in a safe space to express how I’m feeling or my thoughts without judgement. Prior to her I did not think I’d ever do therapy again but she’s made my experience something I can enjoy
She def cool. I was not a huge fan of her approach at first but when i trusted the process I began to find where her Miyagi moments got me to thinking about hings I should be thinking about. I was never a fan of therapy but after really dealing with a professional, I am happy to say My thoughts have shifted.
Its also always nice to have some one to give you a educated, professional second opinion on your own thoughts with out having to deal with the fear and anxiety that comes from socially instituted judgement and passive aggression.
Kelini has been great, she has been helping me work through my though relationship issues and also tackle some past issues that are affecting me currently. I'm trust she can help me get to the root of it and heal properly. Thank you Kelini
I am enjoying my therapy time with Ms. Coker. She takes the time to really listen and challenges me to step out of my comfort zone. I previously haven’t had the best of luck with therapists, but I hit the jackpot with her.
Kelini is very insightful, she creates a safe space for me to explore my anxieties working at the core reasons behind them. She is friendly and helps me rethink my bad thought patterns. Would highly recommend her as a therapist.
Kelini is very patient and welcoming. She listens and her transparency is great. I recommend her to anyone who needs someone to talk to.
