You've probably spent a lot of time being the strong one - holding things together while quietly wondering when it'll feel easier. Maybe anxiety keeps hijacking your focus. Maybe ADHD has made you feel like you're perpetually behind. Maybe you've served, and the things you experienced don't have easy words. Whatever brought you here, I want you to know you're not broken - you're overwhelmed, and that's different. I work with adults, adolescents, couples, veterans, and military families across Florida who are ready to stop just managing and actually start moving forward.
I'm Porsha Coates, LMHC, and my approach is as much about who you are as what you're dealing with. I draw from CBT, Solution-Focused Therapy, Motivational Interviewing, and clinical hypnotherapy - not as a rigid formula, but as a flexible toolkit adapted to what actually works for you. Evidence-based, yes. But always human first.
I offer telehealth therapy statewide across Florida - no commute, no waiting room, just focused, meaningful work from wherever you are. If you're ready to feel like yourself again (or figure out who that even is) reach out today. I'd love to hear what's on your mind.
Call or Porsha Coates now for a free 15 minute consultation - (850) 290-0775

I tailor therapy to your unique needs, goals, and strengths rather than using a one-size-fits-all approach. I believe meaningful change happens when we address the whole person—not just the symptoms. Together, we'll build healthy boundaries, improve sleep, develop mindfulness practices, and learn practical skills that promote lasting emotional wellness, resilience, and personal growth.
