Interested?I'm Brian Coons- It's nice to meet you. I am an American Association of Christian Counselors (AACC) certified Mental Health Coach, and a trained "Dare to be Different" Marriage Mentor with my Wife. I am also a certified SYMBIS (Save Your Marriage Before It Starts) assessment facilitator for pre-marital couples (which is also great for re-marrying couples). I am enrolled in a Bachelor of Science degree in Applied Psychology program through the University of Phoenix with a graduation date of December 2025.
I grew up in Salem, Oregon, and I've spent most of my life in my home state with short stints in Florida and Washington. I am a married father of 4 grown children. I've had a career in retail management and marketing and now am blessed to walk in my passion for connecting with and helping people. I enjoy helping you unlock areas of their lives where they are stuck and aiding them in learning and building skills to manage their lives in healthy ways.
Let's spend time together! My passion is to help you define where you are, understand why, remove barriers, and move to where you want to be.
Fees: There is a cost to Mental health coaching sessions. These costs are outlined in the explanation of each service/session. Our goal is never to disqualify those needing help based on financial ability. If a fee is beyond what you can afford, let's talk so we can find a way to adjust and move forward.
Locations: The typical location for meetings is in-person at Valley Christian Center. However, this can be adjusted based on your need. We can facilitate online (Google Meet) sessions if needed.
