Kenya Coates Charles

When considering a minister for weddings, premarital counseling, and christenings, my unique background and extensive experience make me an ideal choice. Since December 2021, I have been an ordained minister, providing me with the spiritual and ceremonial authority to officiate weddings, lead christenings, and offer premarital counseling with authenticity and reverence. With over 15 years of counseling experience, I am currently a Registered Clinical Social Worker Intern, MSW, and Birthing Doula, I bring a deep understanding of human emotions, relationships, and mental health, allowing me to provide insightful and supportive premarital counseling to help couples build strong foundations for their marriages.

My service as a US Navy veteran and a retired federal law enforcement officer has instilled in me a sense of discipline, integrity, and commitment, ensuring that I approach every ceremony and counseling session with professionalism and respect. Combining my ministerial role with my clinical social work skills, I offer a holistic approach that addresses both the spiritual and emotional needs of individuals and couples, enriching the services I provide and making them more comprehensive and impactful. I understand that each couple and family is unique, and I take the time to get to know those I work with, tailoring my services to meet their specific needs and preferences. Whether it's a wedding ceremony, premarital counseling, or a christening, I ensure that each event is meaningful and memorable.

My extensive experience in counseling and social work has honed my ability to listen with empathy and offer compassionate support, dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate their journey with understanding and care. Choosing me as your minister means entrusting your special moments to someone who is not only qualified and experienced but also deeply committed to making your experiences truly special and enriching.
