Evan C Coates

Evan C. Coates, DBH, LCSW, is a therapist, author, and lifelong learner passionate about making mental health concepts accessible and meaningful. With a doctorate in behavioral health and years of clinical experience, he specializes in helping individuals untangle the thoughts, emotions, and patterns that shape their lives.

Dr. Coates writes with the same warmth and clarity he brings to his therapy sessions—offering readers practical tools, gentle insights, and hope. His books often blend evidence-based strategies with real-life application, spirituality, and compassion, making them ideal for teens, adults, and families seeking support.

He lives in Utah with his family, where he enjoys painting in watercolor, exploring the night sky, and raising animals in their backyard hobby farm. His work reflects a belief he shares with his patients: we are not broken—only developing, thread by thread.
