Hi, I’m Dr. Dale Coleman, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
I work with teens, adults, and couples who are ready to explore what’s beneath the surface and make meaningful shifts in their lives and relationships. Instead of focusing just on present issues and how to cope, I aim to investigate the underlying causes of symptoms so we can create long-lasting change.
While growing up, I learned early on how to navigate complicated family dynamics. That experience sparked a lifelong curiosity about human behavior, especially the unconscious ways we try to protect ourselves and how those strategies can cause unintended harm. Over time, curiosity turned into a passion for understanding the "why" behind behavior, and helping others reclaim a sense of power and purpose.
Before pursuing my education in psychology, I served in the United States Air Force. After my service, I moved to San Diego and began working in mental health rehabilitation centers, where I supported individuals through crisis intervention, client advocacy, and recovery from deeply challenging life events. These experiences deepened my respect for the resilience of the human spirit and broadened my appreciation for diverse cultural perspectives.
I went on to earn a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Doctorate in Psychology from Alliant International University. Today, I bring both clinical expertise and lived experience to my work where I offer a compassionate, collaborative approach that helps clients heal, grow, and move forward with intention.

I am trained in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), a powerful, evidence-based approach that supports individuals and couples with moving beyond stuck patterns and building secure emotional connections. I also have specialized training in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), an effective therapy for processing and healing from trauma.
My doctoral research focused on the healing potential of combining ketamine-assisted therapy with EFT, an innovative integration that reflects my commitment to advancing mental health care through both research and evidence-based practice. I’m currently in the process of publishing this research.
At the heart of my approach is the belief that everyone deserves a space to be seen, heard, and supported. Whether you’re navigating trauma, relationship challenges, or just feeling overwhelmed by life, I’m here to help you reclaim your clarity, confidence, and connection.

Hi, I’m Dr. Kore Brown, Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist.
I help individuals and couples move through anxiety, conflict, and emotional overwhelm into greater clarity, connection, and confidence. My holistic, biopsychosocial-spiritual approach goes beyond symptom management to get to the root of pain—not just to cope, but to truly heal.
I grew up in a small town across the Puget Sound from Seattle. Raised by a single mom and shaped by complex family dynamics, I became curious early on about how relationships impact our minds and our lives. That curiosity led me to study both English literature and neuroscience at UC Santa Barbara, where I explored the intersection of mental illness, creativity, and art—especially through the lens of poets like Sylvia Plath.
After college, I worked in corporate communications, advising companies through high-stakes crises like bankruptcies, leadership transitions, and litigation. While I learned how to navigate chaos with clarity, I eventually realized I didn’t want to help companies protect their bottom line—I wanted to help people thrive. That realization led me to pursue a Master’s in Marriage and Family Therapy and a Doctorate in Psychology from Alliant International University.

I’ve since trained extensively in Emotionally Focused Therapy (EFT), an evidence-based approach that helps individuals and couples break free from stuck patterns and build stronger emotional bonds. I’m also trained in Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR), a leading therapy for trauma. My doctoral research explored EFT with couples navigating cancer diagnoses—a reflection of my deep commitment to holistic, relationship-based care. I'm currently in the process of publishing that work.
Today, I integrate EFT and EMDR with mindfulness and somatic awareness, drawing on over a decade of experience as a registered yoga teacher (E-RYT 200). I offer a warm, affirming space where all identities and relationships are welcomed and celebrated. I work with teens, adults, and couples to compassionately shift unhelpful patterns and foster lasting change.
Starting therapy can feel vulnerable—but it can also be the beginning of a new chapter. You may be amazed by how different life can feel when you begin tending to the emotional wounds that have long gone unhealed.
