Coaching is different from therapy. Therapy is about healing from the past; coaching meets you where you are now – the present – and focuses on the future. Coaching is short-term, goal- and action-oriented. However, the coaching process of discovery, learning, action, and empowerment will create long-lasting change. If you want to work on a life transition or a specific goal, coaching can help. If you’re looking for longer-term care for mental health issues, seek a therapist.
You have the answers. My role is to partner with you, to ask questions, listen deeply, pay attention, hold space, offer a different viewpoint, and provide structure and support as you discover what matters to you and take the steps that will get you where you want to be.
Coaching asks that you start with an intention then:
Your results are a matter of your intentions, choices, and actions, supported by my coaching skills, tools, and methods. Expect to experience new perspectives on challenges and opportunities, shifts in thinking, better decision-making skills, and more confidence as you move forward on your path. You will likely feel more grounded, balanced, and satisfied.
The length of our partnership will depend on your needs and preferences. A six-month partnership is recommended to allow for time for you to discover what matters to you, learn to tap into your inner resources, to deal with negative thoughts, identify priorities, set goals, and reflect. Between sessions, you’ll focus on taking actions that support your priorities and goals.
An investment in coaching depends on the frequency and length of sessions, the number of months, and the level of support. Generally, an investment in coaching ranges from $600 – $3,000.
Coaching packages may include a personalized strengths assessment, access to an online coaching platform for exercises, goal-setting, reflections, guided visualization, and journaling, and between-session support and accountability partnership by email or text. Sessions may be scheduled weekly, biweekly or monthly.
