Kendrique Coats, LMFTA
Licensed Marriage & Family Therapy Associate

Accepting New Clients

Kendrique has extensive experience serving clients from all walks of life - as an athletic coach, peer mentor, and life coach, and, most recently, as a therapist for couples and families at Circle of Care and Auburn's Marriage and Family Therapy (MFT) Center. His experience helping people set and meet their goals, coupled with his passion for learning, connection, healing, and growth make him an excellent resource for clients looking to improve their lives. 

He received his Bachelor's Degree in Health & Wellness before going on to run a successful sports coaching and training business. As a new challenge, he decided to pursue a Master's of Science in MFT at Auburn University, and has found the experience personally as well as professionally enriching. 

 These experiences have helped him hone in on his strengths: helping couples and high achievers find their direction, heal from trauma, and rediscover connection and meaning. His energy, knowledge, and genuine care for others creates a safe place for clients to feel understood and supported in their work.

Kendrique is originally from Illinois, and enjoys golfing, collecting plants, reading, and playing acoustic guitar. He also enjoys interviewing a variety of athletes, coaches, and mental health professionals on his podcast, Coats in Conversation, which centers on mental health.
