About


Tina Coatta, MSW, LICSW, LCSW

I believe in the power of collaboration, authenticity, self-compassion and building connections.

I know it’s possible to build relationships, heal from trauma, and feel better. I’ve worked in children’s mental health in schools, day treatment, and crisis settings and seen the power of making connections and learning new strategies.

I’ve witnessed transformation through experiential and expressive arts therapy and EMDR. I walk along side you toward transformation and healing.

When I’m not seeing clients you can find me hanging out at a coffee shop, reading, or spending time with my family. I really value nature so I spend a lot of time hiking, gardening, walking my dogs, and reading on my porch. One day I want to visit all the National Parks in the US.
