Harnessing what works

Sometimes we can’t see or reach our strengths in the areas of life that are difficult. As experienced psychologists and coaches, we know that harnessing your innate strengths and applying them in new ways is one of the most effective ways to help you reach your goals.

“The journey of a thousand miles begins with a single step.” Lao Tzu

How effective coaching works

Coaching helps you identify your goals and the strategies and action plans that create a sustainable path to them. As licensed psychologists, experienced coaches and professors of psychology, we know the methods that move people forward, and the common blocks to success.

Because coaching is not psychotherapy, less emphasis is placed on understanding and healing the patterns of behavior that may be holding you back. The focus is on identifying goals, finding the path to them, and helping you stay on track.

Coaching begins with putting your goals into words and choosing the right arrangement for you: blocks of sessions or single sessions, by video or telephone.

Coaching is not a mental health treatment and is not reimbursable by health insurance. Like other investments in your health and happiness, its cost is your responsibility.
