David Coates, MFT

David Coates is the rockstar of counselors.
He posseses a true knack and talent for understanding, guiding and helping people live their best possible life. His ability to empathize and understand are sincere. David also has an outstanding arsenal of deeply developed skills that he pulls from at just the right time every time to best optimize the way he helps you and guide toward healing, harmony, and ease.
David has helped me find my way through more than one difficult life transition.
If you are going through something particularly challenging in life, or are just looking to optimize an aspect of it, you’re guaranteed to benefit from spending time with David.
I recommend him wholeheartedly.

I cannot express the transformational influence David has had on my life. He has taught me to recognize my emotions, reactions and how my body physically manifests them. His process allows for self discovery, but he is not afraid to tell things as he sees them. While he has led me to a more empathetic and accountable approach, David has also encouraged my acceptance of myself. David had facilitated a new vocabulary of emotions which has forever changed me.

David is an excellent counselor who, if you’re open to the process, will help you develop the personal insight and proactive tools to improve your own life for the better. His approach centers heavily on recognizing, understanding and addressing the ‘hooks’ we all have cycling through our minds and hearts. Neither wet nurse nor Nurse Ratchet, David consistently strikes a balance between empathy and directness that moves the process along, provided you take accountability for your own self. In my case he helped me and my ex-​wife do what most say is impossible — divorce with mutual love, respect and honesty.

Hard to say enough good things about David. As a couple, we have really learned to understand and appreciate one another and David has played a big role. I can’t recommend him highly enough

Incredible, insightful, life changing therapist.
