Coaching

The purpose of the coaching is to help an individual move forward and make changes in whatever ways they need assistance. Although coaching and other forms of therapy have much in common, they are sometimes differentiated by assertion that coaches work with healthy individuals to help them achieve their full potential and therapists (or counselors) work with clients suffering from mental illness or mental health problems. A client and a coach will generally set very specific goals that will focus on enhancing performance, improving relationships (personal or professional), or accomplishing a specific objective.

Lolo Haha (he/him)

Somatic Practitioner

M.A., Diploma of Process Work

Through my training at the Process Work Institute, I learned how to take realizations, new ways of seeing, and breakthroughs in therapeutic work in the direction of day-to-day integration. My practice uses integration of these in-session realizations as well as more traditional coaching in helping clients to consider their path forward in tangible ways and in ways that can help them to succeed.

Coaching offers fresh outlooks and perspectives, as well as support and new ideas. Growth and change are imperative to forward progression, and since those times tend to be the toughest, it's my honor to offer support and encouragement. Through process-oriented techniques, we will explore your high and low dreams and what is looking to happen next.

Coaching is another way of describing problem solving. It is generally delivered by someone who has experienced the very thing they are assisting with. The coach has mastered both information and technique and can use the experience thus gained to help others do their best in the field of endeavor. Let me be a source of experience for you to draw on as you work to make your family uniquely yours!

I have been using coaching as a way of supporting individuals in their life and career goals as well as with parenting. It is a useful and complementary tool with use in counseling to help individuals apply practical skills to their lives. Where counseling is a great venue for processing, coaching supports tangible action steps a person can take.

I coach parents and families towards their goals with a solution-focused, skills-based approach. For example, for families with a child with a new ADHD diagnosis, I enjoy coaching them towards improved structure, routines, parenting techniques, and problem solving barriers.

With the current state of the world, sometimes results need to be immediate. We don't always have time to explore the roots of our challenges. Coaching can be a great way to tackle a problem at face value and get it taken care of and behind you.

The stories you tell yourself, make up for the existence of who you believe yourself to be. These stories are altered & changed over time naturally, but when we intentionally change outdated labels, true magic begins to appear. You do not have to hold onto what you have always known, or who you have been told you are. You get to choose your own narrative, your own story. I use Timeline Therapy, NLP, & Coaching to support rapid shifts and easeful integration.

Licensed Marriage Family Therapist

LMFT, Holistic Coach

I offer a coaching series that is six sessions over three months with an emphasis on action towards your unique goals. This is a more structured approach to personal growth whereas therapy is an open-ended process of exploration that may cover a wide range of topics and goals. While the structure to therapy is different, we can always incorporate solution-focused work into our time together. I love supporting motivated clients who are ready for change and looking for a growth oriented approach.

Gia Buckberg

Licensed Clinical Social Worker

Much of my therapeutic approach is derived from the life coaching perspective. We return to our common connections by loving, honoring and valuing ourselves and others. Wonder, curiosity and inquiry are the source of all learning. I believe awareness is the precursor to choice. Finally, contribution based on purpose generates true fulfillment and that connection is the wellspring of creativity

Also known as solution-focused, coaching is a more directive approach that helps to achieve specific, measurable goals that are defined by the client. We work on identifying goals aligned with your values, resources available, barriers to past achievement of goals, "chunking" tasks, creating timelines and accountability. Some common problems that benefit from coaching are career and education goals, wellness, leaving difficult relationships, and cultivating healthy relationships and behaviors.

Licensed Professional Counselor

Coaching is not therapy or consulting, so the focus is not on “treating” or advising. We are companions on a journey that I am familiar with, and my role is to listen deeply, asking questions that help you look deep inside yourself to find your own answers and strengths.

I offer Career Counseling + Career Coaching (and there is a difference). Career Counseling has you dig deeper when facing challenges like workplace bullying, career pivots, past work trauma, + adult ADHD. It asks you to determine sources of engagement and purpose and to look inward to overcome self-limiting beliefs. Once you are clear about next steps, Career Coaching offers tools to move you forward (i.e., resume writing, interview prep, etc.) so you can confidently create a fulfilling career.
