Perry Coats, LAPC

Beginning therapy can feel overwhelming, but it can also be the start of meaningful growth, healing, and change. Perry Coats approaches therapy with warmth, authenticity, and mutual respect, creating a space where clients feel genuinely seen, heard, and supported without judgment. His goal is to walk alongside clients as they navigate life’s challenges, helping them build insight, resilience, and practical tools for lasting change. Perry utilizes a variety of evidence-based approaches, including Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Emotional Freedom Technique (EFT), Humanistic Therapy, and mindfulness-based practices. His therapeutic style is collaborative and individualized, allowing sessions to be tailored to each client’s unique experiences, goals, and needs. He believes healing involves understanding the past, building awareness in the present, and creating intentional movement toward the future.

Perry is a Certified Anger Management Specialist-I (CAMS-I) and Certified Trauma Professional (CTP) with specialized training in anger management, trauma responses, emotional regulation, and stress-related concerns. He has a particular passion for working with military veterans, individuals experiencing anxiety, depression, trauma and PTSD, adjustment difficulties, men’s issues, low self-esteem, and complex family dynamics. As a veteran himself, Perry understands many of the unique experiences, stressors, and transitions faced by service members and their families. His lived experience, combined with his clinical training, allows him to connect with clients in a grounded, compassionate, and relatable way. Perry views therapy as a collaborative journey where clients are encouraged to show up authentically, process experiences openly, and practice new ways of thinking, coping, and engaging with the world around them. Whether clients are facing a specific challenge or seeking personal growth, he strives to create a supportive environment where healing and transformation feel possible.
