Life Coaching
Erik Edler
Counselor/Therapist, MA, LMFT
So much of what holds us back in life comes from the deeper layers of who we are, sometimes down to our core. It's important to have a life coach who can handle the full range of issues, from the most practical to the most profound, and that's why it's best to choose a life coach who is also a psychotherapist. It's important to figure out what you want out of life, but even more importantly is the motivation, and that comes from something deep inside. Let's work together to help you build you best life.

Coaching - Life, Relationships, Creativity, Motivation, and Work-Life Balance
Telehealth enables individuals and couples around the world to engage in valuable coaching. You can improve important aspects of your life like your wellbeing, work life balance, motivation, inspiration, sexual health, and relationship satisfaction all from the comfort of your own home. I offer coaching services using behavioral analyses, motivational interventions, psychoeducation, mindfulness practices, narrative techniques, and more. Making time to focus on your wellbeing is important for all facets of life. We will address concerns related to past experiences that have affected your sense of dignity and worthiness. We will explore the impact of 'should's, guilt, and shame on your work-life balance, motivation, and creativity. Let's understand and build a positive, empowered future that invites joy and meaning in your life. Whether you have experienced trauma, discrimination, burnout, infidelity, or just a slow feeling of not having the same effectiveness and energy in your daily life and relationships-- we can work together to promote healing, and self-confidence.
Coaching is not psychotherapy. If therapists are surgeons, coaches are your personal trainer. Coaching is a thought provoking and creative process that inspires you to maximize your personal and/or professional potential. Coaching focuses on setting goals, creating outcomes, and managing personal change. This is a transformative process for personal/professional awareness, self-discovery and growth. If you are having difficulties, a coach may be able to help you clear up how you think about the situation, untangle confusing interactions with others, get some perspective on what is going on and how it impacts you, set inspiring new goals and creating new outcomes.
In individual coaching, as well as relationship coaching, if there is significant difficulties with mental illness, therapy or couples therapy would be recommended. Ultimately, coaching feels less intensive and rarely requires you to re-tell trauma. Coaching can help you find peace, balance, and well being in places you may have been feeling stuck or unmotivated. Additionally, I am a relationship expert, and employ relationship coaching techniques to promote change, communication, and understanding in less distressed clients looking for relationship changes and insights in a coaching rather than therapeutic format. (See Relational Services for more information on relationship related coaching.)

Michelle VanderJagt
Marriage and Family Therapist, LMFT
Life coaching seeks out ways to ignite forward momentum. There is much overlap with therapy and life coaching but coaching involves direct accountability, specific plans, behavior changes and action. Why not seek life coaching with a trained and experienced therapist who can give you the best of both approaches.

Shelley M. Samuels
Licensed Professional Counselor, Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor #6947 (CA), TLHT #494 (FL)
I am a trained counselor/coach with extensive experience assisting folks with life transitions, whether relating to work, relationships, school or gender identity. Because of this experience, I may be more directive and interactive than many therapists; employing a coaching style that some people find more useful than basic talk therapy. We may discuss incorporating healthier life choices, life-planning, values or developing long-term goals. I also use interventions like exercises and homework, both CBT-based and creative. My active listening style may also include opportunities for clients to be accountable for their actions, encouraging them to work actively on their behaviors and follow through.
