KERSTE DECOTEAU LPC / LPCC
Hi, I'm Kerste DeCoteau an LPC / LPCC dedicated to helping individuals and couples navigate life’s heaviest seasons. I specialize in supporting those carrying the weight of depression, anxiety, and PTSD. When trauma or chronic stress takes over, it can feel like you are constantly in survival mode.
In our sessions, we will work together to build practical distress tolerance and emotional regulation skills. This means you won’t just talk about your struggles—you will leave with real-time tools to calm your nervous system and steady your mind. When working with couples, I create a neutral, supportive space to untangle painful patterns, heal past hurts, and rebuild secure connections.
My approach is collaborative, trauma-informed, and deeply respectful of your unique story. Outside the therapy room, I enjoy cooking, being an unofficial coffee connoisseur, an all music enthusiast and craft creator. If you are ready to go from surviving to thriving please reach out to set up an intake.
