About Me
Bodie Coates,
LMFT-S, LCADC-S, NCC
I became interested in the human mind due to my experiences in my youth. I started out watching Documentaries after school about human behavior and the brain. As soon as I was able, I dropped out of High School, took the GED, and started at the local community college by taking a Psychology 101 class. From there, I earned an Associate of Arts degree with emphasis in Psychology, then transferred to the University of Nevada, Reno to work on my Bachelor's Degree in Psychology. This is where I found my love for mental health therapy. I took classes in Mental Health Disorders, criminla psychology, and worked in the Acceptance and Committment Therapy lab under Steven C. Hayes for 2 years. I knew then that I wanted to continue with a Master's Degree in Counseling Psychology, which afforded me the opportunity to work in the field of therapy and counseling ever since. I am now a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, a Licensed Clinical Alcohol and Drug Counselor, and a National Certified Counselor as well as a Supervisor for MFTs and LADCs (hence all the letters after my name).
