Constance Cosby, LCSW

Hello! I’m Constance, the Founder and Director of Mindful Essence Therapeutic Services. I am a licensed clinical social worker and certified oncology Social Worker. I have extensive training and experience in Oncology,  Women’s Issues, Trauma and EMDR therapy. My approach is eclectic, rooted in a Feminist perspective that empowers clients by addressing social issues that can disempower them. I also incorporate Mindfulness-based methods like DBT and ACT.

I have worked in various settings with people from all walks of life. My own journey has shown me the impact of complex trauma, and I have learned how to heal myself. Therapy helped me uncover lost parts of myself, often linked to childhood emotional neglect, abandonment, bullying, and unstable environments. Relational trauma can affect our relationships, leading to struggles with self-identity and, in some cases, abusive situations. As a survivor of Domestic Violence and Narcissistic Abuse, I have faced challenges like Postpartum Depression and Social Anxiety.

My passion is to create a safe and supportive space for women to thrive in community mental health, no matter their circumstances. I am committed to offering personalized and effective therapy to improve women’s mental health and overall well-being. At Mindful Essence, I believe in the power of connection and the healing that comes from shared experiences.

I aim to create a nurturing environment where women can explore their feelings, build resilience, and rediscover their inner strength. Together, we will embark on a journey of self-discovery, healing, and empowerment, allowing you to take back control of your story and embrace a life full of hope and possibilities.
