As adults many of us come to realize that once the responsibilities and expectations from work, life and family have been fulfilled, we have little time to give to improving our relationships and ourselves.
Whether communication and intimacy issues are ever present and affect you as a couple or individual emotional struggles lead to repetitive patterns that sabotage and damage in day to day interactions, a realization must be made that it does not have to be this way. While habits are tough to break, it is definitely possible to change ourselves, our thinking and thus change the relationships around us. In therapy, couples and individuals gain new perspectives and learn more effective ways of correcting the interactions and patterns that lead to us to frustration, hurt, and misunderstandings.

Every problem in life offers the opportunity to test our resilience and redefine happiness for ourselves.
Do you long for a space to break free from emotional burdens, rebuild self-awareness, and rediscover the joy and spirit within you? Life often presents challenges that weigh us down, leaving us feeling lost and disconnected from our true selves. These struggles may come in many forms – from anxiety and depression to relationship issues and personal crises. During these times, we may feel overwhelmed, isolated, and unsure of how to move forward.

On the outside, it seems like you have it all together. But, you are struggling with anxiety, depression, or an eating disorder. You don’t feel good enough, despite putting effort in everything you do. You work hard to be in control, and get anxious when things don’t go as planned. It is hard to ask for help, since you tend to put other people before yourself. You feel lonely and want to connect to people. But, it is hard to focus on relationships, when you are thinking about what might go wrong.

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.
