One of my favorite client quotes is, "Dr. Coleman, I'm not sure if I have a diagnosis, but I know something ain't right." To me, that statement captures the heart of psychological assessment. Many people come seeking answers—not because they want a label, but because they want to better understand themselves in a world that has often tried to define them before they had the opportunity to define themselves.As a licensed clinical psychologist, I have worked with individuals from a wide range of backgrounds, helping them better understand how they think, feel, and experience the world. I was born and raised in Southern California and currently live in San Diego. Throughout my career, I've had the privilege of working in college counseling centers, community mental health, private practice, a federal prison, and clinical research. Each setting has reinforced the same lesson: every person's story is unique and deserves to be understood with curiosity, compassion, and respect.My approach to assessment goes beyond simply determining whether someone meets diagnostic criteria. I take the time to understand your developmental history, your strengths, your challenges, and the experiences that have shaped who you are. My goal is to provide not only an accurate evaluation but also meaningful insight that helps you make sense of your experiences.I believe you are the expert on your own life, and I bring expertise in psychology and assessment. Together, we can develop a clearer understanding of who you are, what has shaped your journey, and the recommendations that will best support you moving forward.
