Life Coaching therapists in Pismo Beach, California CA
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.

Dr. Robert Nemerovski
Psychologist, Psy.D.
Coaching is a professional service that is significantly different from consulting, mentoring, advice, therapy, or counseling.
Therapy tends to focus on reducing emotional distress and psychiatric symptoms, recognizing aspects of our personality that we want to change, and learning how to change dysfunctional patterns of thinking and behaving.
The coaching process addresses specific personal projects, business or academic successes, transitions in the client’s personal life, relationships, and improving well-being. We do this together by establishing realistic, clear goals, discovering what your obstacles or challenges might be, and choosing a course of action to make your life be what you want it to be. By using structure, accountability, technology, and effective communication, working with a professional coach can lead most clients to growth and success beyond what they have been able to achieve on their own.
Every day we make choices to do or not do many things. These choices may range from profound to trivial and each one has an effect that makes our lives more fulfilling or less fulfilling, more balanced or less balanced, that make our process of living more effective or less effective. Professional coaching helps you learn how to make choices that create an effective, balanced and fulfilling life.
Common areas of concern that are well-addressed through professional coaching:
Relationships and Intimacy
Health, Aging, Lifestyle and Self-Care
Family and Parenting
Stress Management and Balance
Career Planning and Development
Workplace Dynamics and Team-Building
Spirituality and Personal Growth
Motivation and Time Management
Finances and Budgeting
I combine over 15 years of professional experience in business development, marketing, and human resources with over a decade of graduate psychology education, training, and practice to help my clients reach their goals.
Many “coaches” do not have any graduate level education, 1,000’s of hours of supervised professional experience, strict state licensing exams they have passed, or a professional license granted by the California State Department of Consumer Affairs. I do.

Chad Cryder
Psychologist, PhD
Before becoming a psychologist, I became a life and spiritual coach to help my clients achieve their greatest goals and live the life that brought them joy and success. Coaching is different than therapy. Within the coaching relationship, we partner to develop goals, implement plans, and achieve your life goals like starting a business, writing a book, make a career change, lose some weight, or deepen your relationship with your spirituality. As your coach, I will hold you accountable to your goals, encourage you even when you stumble, and be excited for your successes.
