I am a mental health trauma expert

I'm Chima

With a passion for emotional wholeness and healing. Through the therapeutic process, I teach teen girls and millennials how to reconstruct a positive sense of self, regain safety, and reconnect to build intimacy in relationships with themselves and others. 

I love helping minority foster care teens heal emotional wounds from their past. Through my testimony of teen trauma and inspiring life story, I believe that together we can heal the past and shape the future. 

For a preview of my experience, I have an extensive history of working with adolescents and their families as an intensive family therapist providing in-home therapy. I have worked in outpatient and inpatient psychiatric hospital's serving teens and their families. For several years, I worked as a clinical director in a juvenile detention center and have worked as a consultant and therapist at an all-girls therapeutic group home. Along with private practice, I served as a comprehensive behavioral assessor providing assessments with recommendations and intervention for the courts and providers for kids who have been taken out of their homes due to abuse or neglect. 


Kabodcounseling, Helping Teens Heal is on a mission to provide therapeutic services to minority foster care teens to heal emotional and behavioral issues that are often related to childhood neglect, abuse, and trauma. We believe this will enable them to fulfill their educational and career goals while being self-sufficient and productive members of society.

I empower teen girls and milennials

struggling with trauma

I am all about providing a safe space for young girls and women to embrace their true authentic selves, voices, and identities. I help teen girls navigate their past to create a brighter future. 

It brings me complete joy to see people thrive from attachment, childhood, and relational trauma. Growing up in foster care, being placed in several different psychiatric groups homes, and residential facilities, along with growing up in a volatile family environment, has birthed a passion in me for psychology and neuroscience. 


My goal is to provide education, to show people how to have healthy relationships with themselves and others. Also, to bring to light, decode, and provide language to what many are experiencing.

things I live By

Accepting myself for who I am and not for what others want me to be.

I am proud of myself even when I make mistakes. My mistakes do NOT define me.

I am the blueprint of change. I already have everything I need within to be successful.

I am a wealthy spring of life that people can draw from and heal.
