Karissa Coleman

Hi, I’m Karissa Coleman, ED.S, LPC, BC-TMH, NCC, and I help people who feel like they’re barely holding it together, because I know what it’s like to carry more than your share and still smile through the pain. At Beauty for Ashes Counseling Services, I offer a calm, nonjudgmental space where you can lay it all down. Whether you’re navigating anxiety, depression, relationship stress, parenting struggles, burnout, or just the weight of life not going the way you hoped. It’s okay to not be okay here. With nearly 20 years of experience in mental health and 24 years in education, I bring both expertise and heart to every session. I use evidence-based tools like CBT, Interpersonal Therapy, and Behavioral Activation, but therapy with me doesn’t feel like a textbook. It feels like a real conversation, rooted in your story, your values, and your goals. I currently serve clients across Mississippi via telehealth and am expanding services into Tennessee soon. If your insurance isn’t listed, I also offer self-pay and sliding scale options to make therapy accessible while you’re waiting on coverage or need a flexible option. Let’s figure out what works best for you, because getting support shouldn’t be complicated. Whether you’re seeking therapy for the first time or returning after a hard season, I’d be honored to walk with you. ✨ Let’s walk this journey together. Healing is possible and you don’t have to do it alone. Because even in the ashes of disappointment, beauty can rise again.
