David Coalter

David Coalter, LPC, brings 20 years of clinical practice to work with adults who seek practical, science-informed support. He focuses on recovery from all forms of trauma and addresses a range of presenting concerns including addictions, mood disorders, relationship struggles, parenting and family challenges, grief, and issues around intimacy and self esteem. His work also touches on related areas such as attachment wounds, fatherhood challenges, and first responder stress.

He takes a straightforward, evidence-minded stance in therapy, combining methods intended to address neurological and emotional dysregulation and to restore healthier relational dynamics. Clinical approaches in his practice include Acceptance and Commitment Therapy, Cognitive Behavioral Therapy, Client-Centered work, Existential inquiry, the Gottman Method for couples, and Motivational Interviewing.

Sessions are structured to help adults explore life purpose, navigate change, and create an authored life. He frames therapy as collaborative problem solving and coaching, with attention to reducing patterns of shame, emptiness, and avoidance while strengthening coping and decision making skills.
