Phil Coleman, LPC
Registered Mental Health Counseling Intern
Supervised by Kathryn Puentes LMHC-S
Virtual Therapist for Dads and Couples in Texas & Florida
Specializing in Paternal Mental Health and Couples Counseling After Baby
Welcome to the Dad Life Circus—where the pressure to provide, support, and say the right thing can feel like an impossible juggling act. If that sounds familiar, you’re not alone—and you don’t have to navigate it alone either.
As a licensed therapist in Texas (based in Dripping Springs, just outside of Austin) and Florida, I specialize in supporting new and expecting dads through the emotional rollercoaster of fatherhood. Whether you're feeling isolated, overwhelmed, or unsure how to reconnect with your partner, I provide a grounded, supportive space to process and grow.
I also work with couples adjusting to life after baby, helping partners rebuild communication, strengthen intimacy, and stay connected while managing the challenges of early parenting. The postpartum period can strain even the strongest relationships—and I’m here to help you find your way back to each other.
In our virtual sessions, we’ll focus on:
-
Managing stress, anxiety, and identity shifts as a new dad
-
Rebuilding emotional intimacy and trust with your partner
-
Communicating more effectively during moments of tension
-
Navigating the postpartum period as a connected, resilient team
Whether you're in Texas or Florida, I offer virtual therapy designed to fit into your life—and meet you exactly where you are.
You don’t have to choose between being a present partner and a thriving parent. Let’s work together to help you feel more grounded, connected, and confident in this next chapter.
