Personal Branding Story: Kelini - Montgomery County, MD
Meet Kelini Coker, LCPC, a licensed mental health therapist in Montgomery County, MD that helps clients from all walks of life to quiet the "noise" that often distracts from the healing journey.
From Kelini: “I have a heart for clients impacted by narcissistic abuse whether it's parents or intimate partners. I also enjoy working with 1st/2nd generation immigrants helping to unpack baggage that can be incredibly daunting. I have a few support groups being developed that I'm excited about. There is healing in safe community and I am hoping clients leave feeling empowered.”
Kelini and I bonded immediately after discussing our infants and being first generation Americans. She was definitely nervous before coming in but she relaxed after meeting me, chatting about everything under the sun (we both enjoyed the adult conversation away from the babies), and seeing the incredible images we were creating!
It was such a pleasure working with Kelini Coker, LCPC—a licensed mental health therapist based in Montgomery County, MD—who came in for a professional headshot session. Kelini supports clients from all walks of life, helping them quiet the mental "noise" that often stands in the way of healing.
In her own words:
“I have a heart for clients impacted by narcissistic abuse—whether from parents or intimate partners. I also enjoy working with first- and second-generation immigrants, helping to unpack emotional baggage that can feel incredibly heavy. I’m currently developing a few support groups that I’m really excited about. There’s healing in safe community, and my hope is that clients leave our work together feeling truly empowered.”
From the moment we started chatting, Kelini and I instantly connected—bonding over motherhood, our infants, and the shared experiences of being first-generation Americans. Like many clients, she came in feeling a little nervous. But after some great conversation (we both enjoyed the adult conversation away from the babies), she quickly relaxed and began enjoying the process.
It was such a joy to capture her warmth, strength, and professionalism through these images. I’m honored to play a small part in helping her present herself to the world as the compassionate, dedicated therapist she is.
