Coaching

"Mental health coaching provides personalized guidance and support to help individuals enhance their well-being, cultivate resilience, and navigate life's challenges with greater clarity and confidence."

Life coaching, communication coaching, business coaching. 35 years coaching and teaching experience, including 13 years teaching teamwork, interpersonal communication, public speaking, and writing. Working to help people develop and utilize their skills to set goals, communicate, and work effectively with others.

As a Mental Wellness coach, I help my clients gain clarity in their purpose and vision, guide them through the decision-making process, support them in removing blocks to progress in goals throughout all areas of their life, and assist them in overcoming imposter syndrome and other limiting beliefs. This allows them to set healthy boundaries, avoid or recover from burnout, improve their relationships, and achieve true work-life harmony.

My career history before therapy involved lots of mentoring and educating, and with certain clients or struggles, it can be helpful to help build structure or encourage someone along a certain goal. I find coaching especially useful for relationship counseling, when couples may need guidance to get back to a healthier dynamic. I also use it a lot with ADHD clients, to help build routines and accountability.

I have decades of experience helping organizational contributors manage their stressors and opportunities: Enhancing Skills and Performance I help contributors improve their performance by offering targeted feedback and practical strategies to overcome challenges. Career Development Coaching I help contributors make a plan to develop a fulfilling career. Supporting Work-Life Balance It is essential for contributors to manage their time and learn to set boundaries. Let's work together!

I am solution focused, meaning you will not be working with me indefinitely. Together we will put together a plan outlining your goals, the number of sessions it will take, and the specific skills you need to make it happen.

I specialize in coaching to help my clients achieve their goals by breaking them down into smaller, attainable goals to do the things they need to do and want to do. Occupational therapists are masters in analyzing an activity or task by holistically looking at a person's strengths, habits, routines, physical environment, and the activity demands. A variety of goals include: work/school management, stress and health management, home management, and personal growth and development.

I provide self-care coaching to individuals and groups of various professions and lifestyles that are needing better self-care practices to implement into their lives. By utilizing tools such as values, wellness wheel and the Enneagram, I help you create a one-of-a-kind self-care plan that prevents and improves the burnout process.

In my coaching sessions, I guide clients through an empowering set of visioning exercises, journaling prompts, personal guidance and real-life assignments that increase confidence, and clarity on your personal and professional visions. You can see many coaching testimonials on my website. If you are interested in my coaching services, please go to my website to schedule a Discovery Call: www.ammayassociates.com

I offer phone coaching in between sessions to help clients through distressing times in their lives.

Please note: My practice is holistic psychiatry based, not talk-therapy based - I do not offer regular talk therapy. Combination of medication & alternative treatment with solution focused, skill & goal oriented coaching: A focus on now and future forward (no dredging up the past). Emphasizing positivity, self acceptance, celebration of difference and uniqueness, and optimizing your individual potential. Friendly, supportive and non-judgmental care.

In coaching I help clients get clear on their goals, then create a wellness program to move them towards those goals. We meet once a week to discuss coping skills, explore their relationship to self and the way they interact with the world, and discuss ways we can transform maladaptive thoughts and behavior, learn from them, and move closer to their ideal self. I then offer yoga, meditation, and rituals to practice throughout the week to help integrate these lessons into their life.

Personal growth is a lifelong process that can help us live more fulfilling lives. Growth is relevant in all stages of our lives: If therapy is for folks looking to grow by healing the wounds from the past, then coaching is for people who hope to grow optimally in the present and the future, in both personal and professional realms. I am here to help you gain the skills and mindsets that you need to grow into your potential, and ultimately, become your own master of personal growth.

I typically use coaching techniques to assist clients undergoing child custody evaluations or social studies in family court or family law cases to make the most thorough and effective presentations. I am familiar with what is required in these cases, and by using coaching and teaching techniques I can often ensure that my client is the best prepared parent at the courthouse. Evaluators themselves are also pleased when my clients are well prepared because it makes the evaluator's job easier. Due to modern technology, I can typically provide these services nationwide.

A life coach is a type of wellness professional who helps people make progress in their lives in order to attain greater fulfillment. Life coaches to aid their clients in improving their relationships, careers, and day-to-day lives.

Coaching focuses on helping clients stay motivated in pursuit of a specific future goal. Need to help my clients explore and navigate the tough waters of their sexuality, the relationships and their inner self. Encouragement and focus on one's strengths is paramount. A trained psychologist can make an even better coach, understanding the inner workings and fears that can hold us back.

Sometimes we need practical skills to help us get to the next level in our wellness. This may require some skill-building to develop new systems and habits with our business, nutrition, morning routine, time management, etc. This may be just what you need to heal and move forward. For instance, you may come with anxiety, but once we create a plan and establish boundaries, you feel centered and in control. This is the power of coaching.
