About Me

Allyson Coats, LMFT

Are you feeling stuck, numb, or constantly running on empty? You want to feel better but aren’t sure where to start—that’s where therapy can help.

I’m a licensed therapist who believes in the transformative power of connection and self-awareness. I specialize in supporting veterans, healthcare workers, the LGBTQ+ community, and sex workers navigating trauma, depression, anxiety, addiction, and PTSD.

My approach is warm, interactive, and down-to-earth. I use CBT, DBT, mindfulness, and creative methods like art, music, or journaling to help you find clarity, purpose, balance, and lasting change. Clients describe me as authentic, compassionate, and empowering. Together, we’ll focus on building resilience and rediscovering a stronger, more peaceful version of yourself.

Better is possible—and you don’t have to do this alone.
