Counseling for trauma, marriage, and anxiety in Pensacola.
I'm Amy Coates, a licensed therapist working with individuals, couples, and military families. In person in Pensacola and by secure video across Florida. Tricare and most insurance welcome.
What I help with
Real support for the things that feel too heavy to carry by yourself, in plain terms.
Trauma & EMDR
EMDR helps memories that still feel close settle into the past, without going over every detail.
- PTSD and complex trauma
- What came home from service
- Old wounds that still ache
Couples & marriage
I use the Gottman Method to help couples get out of the same fight and feel like a team again.
- Communication and trust
- Reconnecting after distance
- Divorce and life changes
Anxiety & depression
We look at what's underneath, and at what actually helps you get through a week.
- Worry that won't quiet down
- Burnout and stress
- The flat, heavy days
“I won't rush you or ask you to talk about more than you're ready for. We go at your pace, I'm honest with you, and we focus on what actually helps.”

Counseling for Pensacola's military families
I grew up in a military family. My dad served and retired from the Army, so deployment cycles, constant moves, and what coming home can stir up aren't theory to me. I've lived them.
Pensacola is a Navy town, and many of the people I see are service members or the spouses holding things together at home. Whatever came home with you, you don't have to carry it alone. I'm in network with Tricare.
Hi, I'm Amy.
I'm a licensed mental health counselor in Pensacola. I've sat with people through some of the heaviest things they've carried, and I've watched what changes when they finally don't have to carry it alone.
If faith matters to you, we can bring it into the room. If it doesn't, you are every bit as welcome.
The practical part
In network with Tricare and most major plans through Headway, and private pay is welcome. In person in Pensacola or by secure video across Florida. Currently accepting new clients. Reach out by form, email, or phone at (850) 204-7142.
He leads me beside still waters. He restores my soul.
Psalm 23
Faith is part of my life, and it's here if you want it in the room. If you don't, you'll be met with the same care either way.
Ready when you are.
Request an appointment and we'll find a time that works, in person or online. If you'd rather ask a question first, that's good too.
