Margaret Coats, M.S. Licensed Clinical Professional Counselor
ABOUT ME: As a contributing member of my community for 25 years, I have been involved in counseling at group homes, outpatient, home-based, and inpatient facilities. The combination of a medical and counseling background creates an opportunity to evaluate the psychological and physiological challenges of an individual. My approach is a dual process of treating the symptoms and the cause of challenging behavior, thus, working towards healing of the mind, body and spirit.
The client populations I serve include those challenged by addictions, trauma in the past or present, anxiety disorders, depression and dissociative disorders. I am an active member in my community networking for those I serve including teaching workshops, attending seminars and meeting with resource people and counselors.
Nationally, I am a member of the Academy of Eating Disorders, American Counseling Association, Society for Advancement of Sexual Health, Association for Treatment of Sexual Abusers and American Association of Anxie
