Testimonials

I’ve been seeing Dr. Gary Coleman on and off for about the last five years. Dr. Coleman is an intense listener and very compassionate. He has helped me manage extreme life and work stresses. He has helped my wife and myself in raising our teenage boys and helped my entire family cope with the tragic death of my 7 year old son. Dr. Coleman helps fill voids in my life that no friend, colleague or family member can ever fill. Dr. Coleman provides real-world, real-life tools to use and practice in life outside his office. At any time the opportunity presents itself, I do not hesitate to recommend Dr. Coleman.

In counseling sessions with Dr. Coleman, I felt at ease to just be myself as he never tried to judge me or make me feel inferior. Dr. Coleman helped me to improve myself by making use of my natural, positive abilities and talents, rather than emphasizing weaknesses or failures. His gentle demeanor, soothing voice, and genuine compassion helped me to feel relaxed, so I could focus more easily on achieving my goals. At the end of each session, I felt invigorated and good about myself with the expectation that I could overcome my challenges. I can definitely say that I was privileged to have known Dr. Coleman and to have received his professional guidance.

Seeing Dr. Coleman in regards to several life issues and challenges proved to be very a effective investment. He is an attentive listener who astutely counseled me on how to address and resolve many issues that I was struggling with on a daily basis. Dr. Coleman provided me with the coping tools to deal with my challenges, thereby helping me to see clearly the route to take to deal with my life’s stressors. I will forever be grateful to a friend for recommending Dr. Coleman to me, as counseling with him has certainly been a most positive experience in my life.

Pat

My husband and I hit a very hard time in our marriage. We were dealing with the effects of alcoholism head on after years of denial. Through marriage counseling, Dr. Coleman taught us healthy ways in which we could communicate with each other as well as how to work through denial. This not only led to the introduction of positive behaviors in our marriage, but it also allowed us to begin healing from the toxic relationship we created over several years. Today, my husband and I continue to build from the tools Dr. Coleman shared with us. We couldn’t be more thankful for the help we received from him.

Kristen

At age 37, I had found myself at a place in life that I couldn’t quite make sense of, nor did I know how to move forward. Having been recently divorced, three kids and high regard for family values I needed someone to work with me. I was referred to Dr. Gary Coleman by a friend and after the first session, pieces of me began to fall into place. I appreciate his listening and helping me to develop better insight about myself, my current situation, and choices for the future. I appreciate the validation Dr. Coleman gives me, his helpful insight, but most importantly his sincerity. My hour is spent with someone whom I trust and have very quickly learned to respect greatly. I live out of town and drive 45 minutes each week to see him. I can honestly say, the help I receive is well worth the extra time and effort I must make to see him.

Jennifer

It’s easy for me to come up with positive things about Dr. Coleman. I found Dr. Coleman, not by reference, but through my Insurance Company. I brought my 11 year old son to him in mid-crisis. Gary is one of the most calm, caring, understanding, and highly competent people I have ever worked with in this line of work. I instantly had a feeling that everything was going to be ok! Most importantly, my son felt secure in knowing he was going to be ok (with some hard work ahead of him). I asked my son to give me one word to describe Dr. Coleman, his answer: “amazing”.

Gretchen

When I began to have suicidal thoughts, I sought help for ongoing depression and anxiety. It was recommended that I receive counseling and I was terrified of sharing my emotional pain with anyone, let alone a stranger. When I began seeing Dr. Coleman I immediately sensed his genuine acceptance and desire to help. Over time I began to feel safe as I found him to be patient, kind and worthy of my trust. We identified problems, strengths and weaknesses. With his help I set meaningful and achievable goals. He taught me skills to improve and maintain my mood. Dr. Coleman supported and encouraged me as I took the steps on the road to emotional health. I am grateful to have a healthy self esteem, fulfilling relationship and enthusiasm for life. I am experiencing confidence and joy as I never have before. The work I did with Dr. Coleman was truly life changing. I have great respect and fondness for Dr. Coleman as I believe he contributed greatly in helping me transform into the person I am today.

I can’t say enough good things about Dr. Coleman! I truly wish I had only met him sooner in my life. I have learned so much about myself, and with his help I am learning to make better life choices.

Dr. Coleman, you have helped me though one of the most difficult times of my life. Whenever I leave your office I always feel such a relief, and my spirit is always lifted. I will always be grateful for your kindness and guidance.

Kay

I first came to see Dr. Coleman when I was in college and was pretty depressed and was seeking help. Dr. Coleman helped me through a lot of ups and downs of college. But when my problems became more female issues Dr. Coleman suggested that I see Sarah. Sarah was awesome. I hit it off with her right away. She is kind and funny and she gets to know the real me. she helped me through my transition from college to the real life. I didn’t know where I was going, but she helped me every step of the way. Because she helped me stay focused on my goals, in-spite of my health issues, I found a job and was able to move out on my own. Everyone has ups and downs in life, but she helped to to realize that having someone to talk to can help you stay focused on your goals and achieve them. I remember she would sometimes take notes on what was happening in my life and would use this to help me stay focused. She always went the extra mile and wold meet with me more often if things got really bad. I miss her very much and I really couldn’t have asked for a better therapist.
