Interestingly as a gay therapist I work very productively with women in mid-life transitions.
Do anxious or depressed feelings interfere with your plans for that new job, new living situation or getting and keeping healthy supportive relationships? Do you find yourself distracted and know there are things you just keep putting off? I work with adults who are motivated to make internal changes that lead to external results in their lives. My clients are no longer willing to remain stuck with old thought patterns and behaviors that limit them. Clients report that our work together is insightful, exciting and important.

Isn't it odd that the most impactful relationships in our life is something we are never taught how to engage in? I see couples for constructive premarital counseling, recovery from a relational trauma (like an affair or breech of trust) or right on the brink of a breakup.
The clients I work with know how much I love and deeply respect the work we do together. Using a combination of narrative therapy, strengths based therapy and psychodynamic methods, I help each person establish their personal story and identify their personal goals. In addition to talk therapy, I am an EMDR practitioner and use this treatment to relieve trauma and advance clinical treatments. Please visit my website for more info or contact me to set up a quick phone call.

Many also suffer from situational or long-standing feelings of depression, anxiety or inadequacy. All are motivated to make meaningful change.

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
