Justin Coates

My communication style

My number one job is to instill hope. You've come a long way through adversity, and I help you recognize the skills and strengths you've developed. I believe we don't need someone to tell us what to do; we need someone to help us recognize our inner strength, unlock our motivation, and learn new skills to bring it all together.

My journey to mental healthcare

I served as a combat infantryman and benefited immensely from compassionate mental health care afterward. That experience inspired me to pursue a career in mental health. I know firsthand the value of excellent mental health services, and I'm excited to provide them to you.

My goals for you

We'll create an effective treatment plan based on your goals. If you aren't sure what your goals are, we'll figure that out together. We'll identify the skills and strengths you already have and the areas you want to improve. Through self-reflection, you'll better understand connections between your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Our first session

Our first session is about getting to know each other. We'll discuss your background, why you're seeking therapy, and start conceptualizing treatment. If you have any questions, ask and I'll explain. It's normal to feel nervous, and you should be proud of pushing through to make it here.

I identify as...

• Male
• Caucasian or White
• Christian
