Coaching

Coaching is the act of guiding a person to achieve a specific goal, either professional or personal. Although therapists and coaches have similar approaches, coaches are typically more direct and have more frequent contact with clients than therapists, and focus on the specific goal at hand, rather than seeking the root of an issue. If you have a specific goal you'd like a professional perspective on, coaching might be a good step. Contact one of TherapyDen’s coaching experts today!

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.

— Dr. Matthew Meyers, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor in Calabasas, CA

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.

I consider myself a "tough love" therapist. my approach is grace-filled, but also direct. I don't believe in letting people dangle in confusion when I can offer some kick-you-in-the-toosh feedback that'll actually help you move forward. I assess your goals and make sure the work we're doing together is moving you in the right direction.

1:1 coaching holds space and curiosity for what is rising in you. We will honor the old patterns and themes, difficulties and stuck points, and see the opportunities there for growth. We will explore what lights you up and create opportunities to invite more of what you’re wanting into your life. We will talk about boundaries and reclaiming your power, energetic protection and releasing held energy that isn’t yours. We’ll meet the fear and invite it to join in as you continue to move forward.

With experience as a therapeutic coach, I believe coaching can be a powerful catalyst for positive change for people looking to address challenges and enrich their lives. A foundation to coaching is utilizing a Strength-Based approach, emphasizing an individual's existing skills, talents, and resources. As such, coaching can help make therapy feel more tangible.

— Nick Worstell, Licensed Professional Counselor in Fort Collins, CO

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.

— Briana Benavides, Licensed Master of Social Work in Leander, TX

It's my opinion that, just as in sports, there's an arena that we all have to perform on, and it's our own life. From my experience as both a former athlete and now therapist/sport psychology professional, it's important to me to help others perform well in life, much the same way I would help anyone perform well in a game or competition. I believe that the mental skills I learned as a sport psychologist can be applied to anyone, as long as they're open to learning.
