Nathaniel Coffey is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who supports adolescents and adults as they navigate emotional, relational, and life challenges in an increasingly fast-paced and digital world. His therapeutic style is authentic, direct, and deeply compassionate, helping clients feel safe, understood, and supported from the very first session.
Nathaniel works from an evidence-based and relational framework, drawing from cognitive behavioral therapy, mindfulness-based interventions, mentalization-based treatment, and interpersonal therapy. He helps clients develop insight, emotional regulation skills, and resilience, while supporting them in building a stronger sense of identity, meaning, and purpose. At the core of his work is the belief that lasting change occurs when individuals feel genuinely understood within a trusting and collaborative therapeutic relationship.
Nathaniel has experience treating a wide range of mental health concerns, including depression, anxiety, PTSD, OCD, bipolar disorder, eating disorders, psychosis, and substance use disorders. He tailors treatment to each client’s developmental stage, strengths, and goals, whether working with adolescents navigating identity and emotional regulation, or adults facing transitions, relationship challenges, or emotional distress.
Nathaniel completed his graduate training at the University of Southern California, where he developed a strong foundation in evidence-based psychotherapy and whole-person care. His clinical training included work in both medical and community mental health settings, supporting individuals facing complex emotional, psychological, and life stressors.
Prior to joining Mind Study Center, Nathaniel worked at Didi Hirsch Mental Health Services, where he conducted comprehensive assessments, provided individual and group therapy, and collaborated closely with multidisciplinary treatment teams. He also served in teaching and mentorship roles, supporting graduate-level clinicians in training.
At Mind Study Center, Nathaniel provides thoughtful, individualized care in a supportive and confidential environment. He is committed to helping adolescents and adults feel emotionally safe, understood, and empowered, and to supporting meaningful, lasting growth for both individuals and families.
