Dr. Glenn Francis
Marriage and Family Therapist, Psy.D., MFT
Therapy tends to focus on the wounded downside of ourselves — but just as much as we are capable of darkness and contraction, we are creatures of light and expansion. Coaching tends to emphasize these upside possibilities, these gestures towards greatness all of us feel in the core of ourselves, howsoever small they may be. When they are given voice, when they are encouraged, these gestures can become great movements of empowerment and expanded 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.

Helen Star, MFT
Marriage and Family Therapist, MFT, SEP
Life just keeps happening, doesn’t it? Whether you are just starting out in life and are unsure of your direction or if you have been thrown a curve ball through a divorce, a death of a loved one or loss of career, it is often helpful to get support and perspective from a therapeutically.
Conflict often arises in these change times. Should I go this way or that way? It is often not easy to know. Fear of change often clouds the inner voice making it difficult to know the best direction. Anxiety can take over and you can just feel paralyzed. This paralyzed state just conjures up on the demons of self-doubt and fear of failure, so a much-needed change can be delayed, compounding the problem.
Taking time to understand yourself and your essential needs is an important step in caring for your future self. (The version of you that must live out the consequences of your present-day choices.) Having the support of a clear thinking ally, such as a trusted therapist can make the world of difference.
Often, utilizing cognitive behavioral therapy can be quite useful during these times. CBT helps to sort through the conflicting emotions by identifying core beliefs and cognitive distortions that are contributing to the confusion. Identifying these processes can help to gain control of an anxious mind, so that a clearer, more authentic voice can come through.
That can be a breath of fresh air. Now at least the next right step is laid out in front you. Often this is a small baby step rather than a huge leap into the unknown.
