George Coffin was awarded a Master of Arts in Clinical Psychology from the University of Indianapolis, and is anticipated to receive his Doctorate in Psychology in Clinical Psychology from the University of Indianapolis pending the completion of his dissertation. He has a special interest in trauma and grief and considers that path to healthy mental wellness is rooted in genuine expression, healthy boundaries, and supportive relationships.

George practices under the supervision of our Clinical Psychologist, Dr. Ken Chew, PsyD, HSPP, and is experienced in working with trauma, derealization/depersonalization, grief, depression, autism, and anxiety. His clinical work includes supporting children in managing anxiety, grief, and depression through a combination of play therapy and behavioral interventions, often involving parental guidance. He also has training in the assessment of personality disorders, diagnostic clinical assessments, learning disorders, and ADHD.

George takes a person-centered approach to therapy, grounded in the belief that each client brings unique strengths and needs to the therapeutic process. He draws from a range of evidence-based practices, including person-centered therapy, cognitive-behavioral therapy (CBT), emotion-focused therapy (EFT), acceptance and commitment therapy (ACT), emotion regulation techniques, and gestalt therapy. This integrative approach allows him to offer clients strategies that are specifically suited to their individual goals and challenges.

In his work with children and families, George combines play therapy with behavior-based conditioning strategies and utilizes emotion-focused family therapy to support emotional connection and improve family functioning.
