Getting to know Justin Coates

Do you want to get your brain scrubbed free of mental illness by the greatest therapist of all time? That's a shame, because I'm not her, but I am absolutely ready to join you on your journey, no matter where you might be headed. I specialize in individuals navigating everything from PTSD and depression to schizophrenia and addiction, from anxiety to anger and back again, as well as couples trying to figure out ground rules, boundaries, and communication skills. My approach I'm a huge fan of both Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Motivational Interviewing (MI). Both of these are fantastic ways to help you figure out what you really want, as well as why you want what you want! I'm a strong believer in providing the skills you need to help reduce the impact of distressing emotions *right now,* giving you the breathing room necessary to focus on your internal world. In case it's not obvious, I'm also a big believer in humor and joy in therapy. No matter how tough it is, you're on the road to wellness, and that's something worth smiling about! My focus Whether you've spent a long time in therapy trying to overcome chronic symptoms or are just starting on your journey, you're in the right place. My background in military mental health (and experience in the U.S. Army) means I can provide fantastic PTSD and MST treatment, especially for veterans. I'm also highly experienced in working with those struggling through severe addiction or with symptoms of psychosis. I love helping clients figure out a treatment plan, set up goals, and get started working toward them. My communication style The number one job of a therapist is to instill hope. You've come a long way, perhaps through great adversity, and no one rarely stops to point out all the skills and strengths you've developed along the way.
