In addition to my psychotherapy practice, I offer a Personal Coaching Program. Personal coaching, unlike psychotherapy, does not focus on the treatment of identified psychiatric conditions. Personal Coaching is a process in which I assist people to develop strategies and implement a plan to meet life goals. It is also used to change habits that are unproductive and entrenched in a person’s behavior.
Generally, a person enrolls in the Personal Coaching Program with specific areas of concern, as well as a sense or “vision” of what goals are to be accomplished, such as changing career, a new relationship, or other lifestyle changes — incorporating a physical fitness regimen into daily life, perhaps.
I believe that people know what they want. However, they come to perceive and give potency to particular obstacles or “roadblocks” that disrupt them from doing what is necessary to accomplish their aims. At that point, many people begin to “settle.” Sometimes these roadblocks are related to self-esteem, and therefore “spill over” into a psychotherapeutic domain. Generally speaking, though, if a person is relatively stable psychologically, then most unsuccessful efforts to create more specific and positive results in his or her life are related to not having and maintaining the proper focus, intent, and motivation required to pursue and accomplish their goals. Unbalanced and unchecked management of one’s personal energy is also a factor. As a personal coach, after identifying the goal, I help people to cultivate and strengthen the resources required to meet life goals. I then collaborate with the person to develop a strategy to accomplish her goals. Finally, I provide guidance, focus and direction in the individual’s day-to-day life, as he works toward meeting the goal.
Personal coaching has been demonstrated to be an extremely effective method of creating positive, tangible, and important changes in our lives. It helps people stay mindful of their intentions and alert to deviations from their goals. Personal coaching helps a person feel autonomous and competent — essential qualities required to realize one’s ambitions.
The Personal Coaching Program is not covered by health insurance. Each program is individually constructed, based on a collaborative plan designed by the client and coach. Please for further information about my Personal Coaching Program and start meeting your goals today.
