I am a Licensed Clinical Social Worker (LCSW) based in Texas with 15 years experience helping people dealing with a variety of personal issues. I am a graduate of Abilene Christian University and the University of Texas at Austin. Prior to earning my LCSW license, I worked for 25 years teaching parents how to cope with the transitions of life due to childbearing and parenting. My professional counseling experience includes private practice, community service and hospice medical social work. As a therapist I have assisted people dealing with anxiety, grief, trauma, abuse, faith challenges, depression and self esteem.
Making the decision whether or not to seek help is a personal, and a very private one. In my experience the Client/Therapist relationship is a foundation of effective counseling. A person’s connection and comfort with the therapist are essential aspects of building a trust relationship and go far beyond what a therapeutic modality can offer by itself. I honor each person’s life struggles and believe that past circumstances help us recognize the strengths we want to take forward in life as well as helping us grow beyond past difficulties. This healing work better equips us to deal with current pain, trauma, and/or disappointments.

I have had two sessions with Helen Coffman and would recommend her to anyone who wants to work with a counselor who takes a faith-based, Biblical approach and is a wonderful listener. Helen's warmth and empathy made it very easy for me to open up to her and talk through some of the emotions and challenges I am currently facing.

I am overwhelmed with gratitude. Being paired with Helen just two weeks ago has made a tremendous difference in my daily life and activities; what I choose to prioritize, track, reflect on and process out loud. Therapy was a bit of an "intervention" from my spouse and family members. I am so glad I found the strength to submit to their wisdom and ask for help.

Helen Coffman has been extremely helpful and professional in our sessions:) I really feel comfortable talking with her and she doesn’t make me feel like just another patient. She makes me feel like a friend and I absolutely love our sessions together!

Very very grateful for her and I would highly recommend her to anyone seeking help with mental health:)
