Perry Coats, M.S., CAMS-I & CTP

As a pre-licensed therapist, my goal is to walk alongside you as you navigate life’s challenges, helping you access the tools, awareness, and clarity needed to move forward with confidence. My approach to therapy is grounded in warmth, authenticity, and mutual respect. I believe that healing begins in a space where you feel truly seen—where your story matters and where you can explore your experiences without judgment. I utilize a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Humanistic Therapy, and Mindfulness-Based practices. These approaches allow me to tailor each session to your individual needs, creating a supportive environment where we can explore the past, focus on the present, and build toward your future. I also hold certifications as a Certified Anger Management Specialist-I (CAMS-I) and Certified Trauma Professional (CTP), which allow me to support individuals who are navigating anger, trauma responses, and emotional regulation challenges.

I have a special passion for working with military veterans and individuals facing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, adjustment challenges, men’s issues, low self-esteem, and complex family dynamics. As a veteran myself, I understand many of the unique experiences and transitions that service members and their families face. Whether you are dealing with a specific struggle or seeking personal growth, I aim to help you build practical coping skills, strengthen resilience, and create meaningful change in your life.

Therapy with me is a collaborative journey. You are the expert on your own experience; my role is to guide the process with curiosity, compassion, and practical strategies. In our work together, you’ll be encouraged to show up as your full self, process your experiences openly, and practice new ways of thinking, feeling, and being.

I currently offer individual and group therapy sessions, both in-person and virtual, so we can meet you where you are—literally and emotionally.
