Therapy approaches:

Psychodynamic

Cognitive Behavioral

Acceptance and Commitment

​Interpersonal

Dr. Coleman offers a refreshing, classic approach to therapy, delivered in a modern way. He is an engaged, active listener, but he gives you time to breathe and to think. He won't apply undue pressure, but he also won't settle for 'catching up' or 'venting.' He wants you to get better, and he knows the only way for that to happen is to push you and offer interpersonal feedback.

 

Don't settle for therapies that seek only to affirm and excuse your behavior. After all, you know deep down your behavior isn't working. Many people seeking therapy think they want a gentle, 'empathic' approach, but these don't offer lasting change. Dr. Coleman brings sensitivity and attunement to each session, and he is able to listen and hold your emotions as they hang in the room. This provides a healthy, confined feeling in therapy session. But, when the time comes for change to take place inside or outside the therapy office, he will guide you as you step out of your comfort zone and into something new.  

THERAPY PREVIEW

Ask yourself:

  • If what I'm doing isn't working, why not?

  • What would it mean for me to 'live authentically'?

  • Do I know how to draw boundaries?

  • What would change look and feel like?

  • What do I need? 

 

               I want to help you answer these questions.

 

What can you expect?

I'll let you think and speak freely, which produces hidden words, fantasies, and emotions. This is an intimate process, and it forges a bond between us. This bond reveals how you engage others and how you defend yourself from pain. With honesty and patience, we examine this bond together. The result: You develop fresh ways of relating to other people and of expressing and getting what you need.
