Getting to know Madison Coates
The provider is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern
Madison is a Registered Mental Health Counselor Intern (RMHCI) dedicated to helping adolescents, teens, and young adults navigate life's challenges with greater confidence and resilience. Born and raised in Central Florida, she is passionate about increasing access to quality mental health care within the community she calls home.
Madison earned her Bachelor of Science in Psychology from Bethune-Cookman University and her Master of Science and Education Specialist degrees in Clinical Mental Health Counseling from Florida State University. As a former athlete, she understands the pressures many young people face, including stress, anxiety, performance expectations, and major life transitions.
Her clinical interests include anxiety, depression, self-esteem concerns, relationship challenges, and life transitions. Madison takes a warm, collaborative, and person-centered approach to therapy, striving to create a safe and supportive environment where clients feel empowered to explore their experiences, build practical coping skills, and create meaningful change.
What should a new client know about working with you?
I consider myself a relational therapist first. I believe that meaningful therapeutic work begins with a strong foundation of trust, and I recognize that opening up to someone new can feel vulnerable. Because of this, I focus on creating a supportive, nonjudgmental environment where clients can feel comfortable being themselves and sharing at their own pace.
Once that foundation is established, I take a collaborative approach to therapy. I primarily draw from Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) and Person-Centered Therapy, which allows me to tailor treatment to each client's unique goals and needs. Together, we'll explore the challenges you're facing while building practical skills and tools to help you move forward with greater confidence and self-understanding.
When working with children, I often incorporate play therapy techniques alongside CBT and Person-Centered approaches. Play can be a child's natural language, and these techniques help me connect with them at their developmental level
What is your typical process for working with clients?
Therapy with me is collaborative, warm, and centered around creating a space where you feel safe, comfortable, and supported. Building a strong therapeutic relationship is very important to me, and I strive to approach each client with empathy, curiosity, and understanding.
I know that life's challenges can be difficult, unexpected, and sometimes isolating. Rather than seeing myself as someone who has all the answers, I view therapy as a partnership. My role is to walk alongside you as you navigate challenges, explore your thoughts and emotions, and work toward meaningful change.
I believe everyone moves at their own pace, so I aim to meet you where you are and tailor our work to your unique needs and goals. Together, we'll identify strengths, develop coping skills, and build tools that can help you feel more confident and empowered both in and outside of therapy.
