Porsha Coates

I'm Porsha Coates, LMHC, and I work with people who are ready to make real changes - not just cope, but actually move forward. My clients include adults, adolescents, couples, veterans, and military families navigating anxiety, depression, ADHD, relationship challenges, and major life transitions. I bring together CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, mindfulness, and clinical hypnotherapy - not as a rigid formula, but as a flexible toolkit I adapt to what you actually need. I offer telehealth therapy across Florida, so getting support is straightforward, wherever you are.

Therapy with me is a genuine collaboration. We'll dig into what's actually driving the patterns you want to change and build strategies that fit your real life - not a textbook version of it. I integrate evidence-based methods with authentic curiosity about who you are. Whether we're using CBT to reshape thought patterns, hypnotherapy to create deeper shifts, or motivational interviewing to get you unstuck, the approach flexes to meet you where you are. I care less about fitting you into a treatment box and more about building something that works.

The first session is a real conversation - not an intake form in disguise. I'll ask about what's been on your mind, what you want your life to look like, and what's gotten in the way so far. You set the pace. By the end, you'll have a clear picture of what we'll work on together, and you'll feel like you've already started - not just talked about starting. Most clients leave that first session feeling heard and a little lighter. That's exactly the goal.
