Life coaching is different than mental health counseling in critical ways, but both types of specialists offer benefits. Life coaches typically can’t diagnose and provide treatment plans for mental health disorders. Counselors and therapists do. Life coaches help people establish goals, find motivation, and achieve those goals. Their focus isn’t on mental health. A life coach uses motivational techniques to help someone accomplish goals that are unique to them and their aspirations. A person would go to a life coach for guidance in establishing more meaning in their life.
Therapists Who Specialize in Offering Life Coaching
Nothing hurts like constantly stumbling over the same old communication problems with your partner, when all you really want to do is be close. It’s hard to concentrate or have a lightness to the day when relationship struggles drag you down. We fall in love with people who are different enough from us to create a spark. It’s that “completion feeling” of interest & fascination. We feel sad &...
Initiating therapy takes courage! We are taught to hide our insecurity, doubt, fear, pain and vulnerability and put on a brave face for the world. It is sometimes difficult to acknowledge that we are uneasy, struggling or suffering. Asking for help is a sign of strength! Many people put off therapy because they are afraid of being judged, misunderstood, labeled or stigmatized. I believe that th...

You're not sure when it happened, but one day you didn't recognize the person next to you. It's terrifying and heartbreaking to think this might be the end. Maybe it started after the kids were born, or maybe you're just realizing you might not be as compatible as you always thought. Either way, there's a distance and disconnect between the two of you that can no longer be ignored. Often you fe...

You’re supposed to be an expert in your field, but you certainly don’t feel like it. You try your hardest, but you still feel like an imposter. The worst part? You just know others can see right through the pretending despite your efforts to maintain the appearance that everything is just fine. The voice in your head tells you how you’re not enough. You look through Instagram and wonder how...

There is empowerment in knowledge. Once you have the knowledge and develop an understanding, you are empowered to do with it what you will. Positive or negative. Something or nothing. The chose is yours. Knowledge can offer you clarity in seeing patterns never noticed before or in changing patterns you are fully aware of yet need the tools to promote change. My goal is to empower you gain insig...
