"You are not your illness. You have an individual story to tell. You have a name, a history, a personality. Staying yourself is part of the battle."

Justin Coates, MA, LPCC, CFTP, CAIMHP
Justin is a Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, with certifications as a Family Trauma and Addictions-Informed Mental Health Professional. Justin currently provides therapy, consultation, parenting assessments, as well as parent education trainings. Recently, Justin began his doctoral program with the hopes of becoming a licensed psychologist, as well creating a mental health hub in the Greater Saint Peter area. This idea and passion came to light after seeing families struggle to obtain services for their children and themselves - often times, having to travel hours to meet with a provider. Justin knew he wanted to provide a different type of mental health experience, so he created the Greater Minnesota Trauma Center. Justin takes a holistic hands-on approach to therapy, and finds great value in the Polyvagal and Internal Family Systems theories. Justin believes therapy needs to go beyond talk-therapy, but is also able to meet clients where they are in the moment. If you'd like to schedule with Justin, please send us a request specifically asking for him. That request can be made here!
