Online Life Coaching therapists in Chillum, Maryland MD

My training and certification is both as a Hypnotherapist and Life Coach and the two modalities are closely intertwined. Many of my clients have come to me for coaching issues such as gaining clarity on what direction to take in life or work, understanding what they are truly passionate about. I've coached many writers, artists, musicians, and business people through creative blocks, or helped them find the confidence to lead, step up in their careers, take on new roles. Often people find conflict in dealing with someone at work and it impedes their moving forward and I help them find a way to neutralize that conflict. Whether you are seeking a new direction in your life or need help in making your dreams a reality, hypnosis can help.  

Life coaching focuses on clarity, direction, agency, and meaningful change. My work integrates psychoanalytic insight, somatic awareness, and reflective exploration to support intentional life decisions and personal growth. This process helps individuals align more fully with their values, desires, and inner life.  

Washington Psychological Wellness is passionate about helping people live the lives they have envisioned by bringing values of honesty, kindness, humor and compassion to the practice. Therapy can inspire change, create greater self-awareness and improve one's life and relationships. Our clinicians provide a comfortable and collaborative environment in which you can take risks and explore different ways of thinking, feeling and being. Our aim is to help you gain clarity about the underlying causes of problems, provide strategies to help you cope and empower you to trust your inner voice and live each day authentically. Washington Psychological Wellness believes in respect and equality for all regardless of race, ethnicity, nationality, class, caste, religion, belief, sex, gender, language, sexual orientation, gender identity, sex characteristics, age, health or other status. We are currently accepting new clients. Telehealth (online) therapy options are available. Call now to schedule your appointment!  

We provide support and clarity with life goals, determine what gets in the way of achieving goals and working on eliminating blocks.  

At Dyer Psychology, Inc., our life coaching services are designed to help individuals achieve their personal and professional goals. We utilize evidence-based techniques to assist clients in identifying their strengths, setting achievable goals, and overcoming obstacles. Our coaching approach is client-centered and empowering, providing the tools and support needed to enhance productivity, improve life satisfaction, and achieve meaningful success.  

My life coaching services focus on helping you achieve personal growth, setting and achieving goals and objectives, and navigating challenges in your life. We work together to clarify objectives, identify obstacles, and develop actionable plans for success. My coaching process always integrates hypnosis and hypnotherapy and typically involves: 1. Guiding clients to define specific, measurable, and meaningful goals. 2. Assisting clients in the exploration of their values, strengths, and passions. 3. Keeping clients motivated and on track during and between sessions. 4. Assisting clients overcome personal, professional, or emotional obstacles. And, 5. Helping clients shift self-limiting beliefs or negative thought patterns that are restricting success. I work with clients on areas such as goal setting, career transitions, relationships, health, personal growth, time management, work-life balance, etc. As a life coach, I typically focus on the present and the future, emphasizing practical steps toward improvement rather than addressing deep psychological issues or past trauma. When combining hypnosis with life coaching the results can be profound. This is attributable to the fact that together we are bypassing the flawed logic and reasoning that all too typically hold people back from achieving goals and overcoming obstacles. Lastly, during the past six decades I have frequently combined my education, skills, and experience with those of psychiatrists, psychologists, MFT’s, and LCSW’s to benefit their patients or clients, such as the case might be.  

Life coaching is designed for individuals seeking clarity, direction, and meaningful personal or professional growth. Through a personalized, concierge-style approach, I provide structured guidance, accountability, and practical strategies to help you overcome obstacles, strengthen confidence, improve decision-making, and achieve your goals. I am happy to support clients through life coaching; however, coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy or the diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions. When appropriate, I will help you determine the level of care that best supports your needs and long-term well-being.  

ife coaching and psychotherapy are not the same thing — and working with a licensed clinical psychologist who understands both gives you a distinct advantage. As a licensed clinical psychologist with 20+ years of experience, I offer psychology-informed life coaching for adults and professionals navigating career transitions, personal growth, goal setting, executive coaching, and life purpose exploration. Using evidence-based strategies, cognitive-behavioral techniques, and solution-focused intervention, I help clients gain clarity, build momentum, and create meaningful, sustainable change in both their personal and professional lives. Telehealth life coaching available across 40+ states.  

Life is often confusing, disappointing and scary. The only thing worse than feeling stuck in life is feeling alone in that stuckness. But having a guide who’s right there with you offering clarity, new perspectives, advisement, resources, and support makes what’s troublesome feel more manageable and more possible to make our way through. There is no topic that is not appropriate to explore and work with in therapy.  

Sometimes in life we all end up in stuck corners or dead ends, invisible ceilings, new crossroads or that feeling in our gut that our current life is just not where we want to be. Life transitions can be daunting and can create stopping in life. Life coaching may involve deep work in the past or a better lens to expand the possibilities of your forward. It can also involve finding ways to experience and value more fully your here and now. Taking the time to explore and re-resource, to take off blinders, deeply questions old ways, and beginning to expand our creativity to envision never before seen possibilities, these are some of the many ways we may collaborate and empower you to find both your true self and to create, meet and explore all the other selves and future you's to come. You will explore personal development in meaningful ways, dive into your life pool of opportunities, sort out priorities, find your true voice, and much more!  

I’m not a typical life coach. Most life coaching is based on the premise that the client is “healthy” enough to not need therapy or “healing”, and that coaching is all about looking forward, not backwards. I disagree. I believe that most of us (even successful people) operate subconsciously much of the time out of reactivity from painful past life experiences and current stresses. Those wounds can provide great motivation, but without consciousness, they eventually lead to burn-out and "life crises". Coming to terms with those experiences and reducing life stressors makes a client more grounded and balanced – which add up to someone who can now be present enough to apply tools like “emotional intelligence” training. So I use some typical coaching tools, but I also use therapeutic approaches from mental health, healing modalities from spiritual traditions, hypnosis and neurolinguistic programming, and energy psychology. I also use the Professional Strengths, Values & Story Survey (SVSS). The SVSS is an innovative motivational assessment tool that explores your identity and direction through 12 universal “story types.” By understanding what truly motivates you (not what other people think should motivate you), you’ll see your life and work-life purpose in wholly new way. From this point, you’ll learn how to use your strengths to move your life forward instead of struggling to use aspects of your character that don’t have much motivational energy. Finally, if you’re looking for life meaning or purpose, consider True Purpose coaching. TP is a both a practical and an idealistic/spiritual approach to understanding (and manifesting, if you choose) what your soul – not your ego – wants for you. True Purpose is based on practices that enable individuals to access their own higher source of wisdom (even if that’s “just” one’s own “higher self”) and turn that into a life-long resource. The practical part is about clearly defining and dealing with your internal limitations – which, by the way, are usually the same beliefs that have kept you from your true potential. Call if you think we might be a match. I’ll be glad to answer any questions you have.  

My passion for coaching predates my therapy licensure and remains a core element of my practice. Where therapy often focuses on healing, coaching illuminates possibilities and activates potential. As a certified coach, I create forward-focused partnerships that help clients envision and create their desired futures. Using principles of positive psychology (without toxic positivity), we identify strengths, clarify values, and develop actionable steps toward meaningful goals. This aspect of my practice particularly resonates with clients who are stable but seeking greater fulfillment, purpose, or direction. Our coaching work emphasizes possibility, agency, and the cultivation of hope—empowering factors that can transform how we navigate life's challenges.  

I often support people experiencing dating or career difficulties. If you are dating and feeling defeated and like you want to give up, or anxieties are getting in the way of your dating life, please reach out. If you are wanting to make a career pivot, struggling to exist at your job, are wanting to re-enter the workforce after taking time away, or you would like support with the ups, downs and anxieties of the job interviewing process, please message me to schedule a free consultation call.  

Life Coaching after betrayal trauma focuses on helping you move forward with clarity, strength, and intentional direction. While trauma stabilization is foundational, many clients reach a point where they are ready to rebuild - their identity, boundaries, relationships, and future vision. My coaching approach is structured, goal-oriented, and grounded in trauma-informed principles. Together, we work on self-trust, decision-making, confidence, and creating a life that aligns with your values after betrayal. Coaching is forward-focused, empowering you to step out of survival mode and into purposeful growth.  

Do you find yourself often thinking about or planning to take better care of yourself -- someday? Maybe you have a massage gift card that's about to expire. Maybe you keep thinking about calling your friends to schedule a "girls night out" but never quite get around to it. Maybe you have a little voice in your head telling you that this or that is more important. This same little voice also makes you feel guilty whenever you think about taking a few precious moments just for you. If this sounds familiar, then life coaching for self-care can help. While self-care can be about doing those little things to pamper ourselves, it's really so much more. Self-care is about making sure that you are tending to the sacred places in your heart and soul. It's about taking steps to ensure that you are living from a place of authenticity and have learned how to know, like, and trust yourself. Through our work you will be supported in creating a personalized self-care practice that is aligned with your values and lifestyle. If you are ready to finally make your self-care a priority, then I would love to help.  

In my practice, I blend elements of various therapeutic modalities such as CBT, humanistic therapy, and narrative therapy to provide holistic life coaching services. By incorporating art therapy and experiential techniques, I help clients explore their values, goals, and aspirations in a creative and meaningful way. Additionally, I draw upon relational therapy principles to foster a supportive and collaborative relationship with clients, empowering them to navigate life transitions and pursue personal growth with confidence and authenticity.  

I help individuals gain clarity, set meaningful goals, and create actionable steps toward the life they want. Through a supportive and strengths-based approach, we focus on personal growth, motivation, confidence, and accountability. Life coaching sessions are forward-focused and designed to help clients overcome obstacles, build momentum, and achieve lasting personal and professional change.  

There are points in our lives when we need the space to reflect on our choices and possibilities. Therapy can be this place. Therapy can help you choose what is right for you and your unique personality. The Myers-Briggs Type Indicator, with which I have had much experience, can help you understand your individual personality and what life choices might best suit your personality.

Life coaching has been my forte. All my clients are thriving and they are on the way to achieve their health, career, professional, relationship goals. Julien Moe is a multilingual Fulbright Scholar life coach, and a certified clinical hypnotherapist who specializes in helping others heal from codependency, narcissistic abuse, emotional neglect, psychological invisibility, and alike. His coaching practice is founded upon the idea that all dysfunctional relationships with Self, and or with others, are the results of the thoughts beliefs and behaviors inaccurately or falsely impacted by psychodynamic experiences.

This is when you will begin to truly live authentically and find fulfillment and satisfaction in the life you have created. Life coaching helps people create changes that will lead to the results they would like. It helps clients discover, clarify and align with what they want to attain. Life coaching can address many different areas in a clients life. It can be used to help with short term or long term projects. Clients are able to set better goals and reach those goals. In explaining life coaching, sometimes it helps to explain what coaching is not. It is not psychotherapy, counseling, mentoring or consulting. However, there are some similarities. We will not look at your past but your future. It is not about me telling you what to do. How many times have you been lectured or told what to do? and did you find it motivating? Coaching is about your agenda. You decide what you want to cover and when to stop. You will find the right answers for you. However, I may guide you through my questioning and re-framing to find new choices and healthier perspectives. Coaching is about using some incredible tools and techniques to help you learn how to get what you want. ********** Why Does Life Coaching Work? When you buy a new car most people spend a lot of time and energy doing research. They must compare cars to decide which car meets their specific needs. Therefore, they must know what is important to them and what car will supply these needs. They check out the features and decide what they need. They also shop around to find the best deal. Your life and your mind deserve the same attention that you would put into buying a car. Unfortunately, we were not born knowing how to get the most out of our lives. Most of us walk around blindly hoping we will get it right. Coaching gives you the power to be an active creator of your life. Coaching provides structure, support and a tool belt of tools to help you learn how to do this yourself. A good coach is one who teaches you how to coach yourself. My clients often describe coaching as a life altering choice and as one of the best decisions they have ever made. ******* What are the Benefits of Life Coaching? • Help people set better goals and reach those goals • Build self-confidence • Have someone champion, believe in and motivate you • Find time and energy for the important areas in your life • Become the leader in your life • Finding fulfillment and life satisfaction • Leading a balanced healthy life • Reframing harmful perspectives • Expanding choices • A safe person/place to explore your life • Provides openness and space needed for the journey of change To book a session, please text or call 212-814-9527
