FAQS
How does life coaching differ from therapy?
While both life coaching and therapy aim to support personal growth, they have distinct approaches. Therapy typically focuses on addressing past traumas, emotional healing, and diagnosing mental health conditions. On the other hand, life coaching is forward-focused, centered around setting and achieving goals, enhancing performance, and unlocking potential. If you're seeking to overcome specific challenges from your past, therapy might be more suitable. If you're looking to create a roadmap for personal or professional success, life coaching could be the right fit.
How often are coaching sessions conducted?
Coaching sessions frequency can vary based on your needs and preferences. Typically, we recommend starting with weekly sessions to establish momentum and make consistent progress. As you gain confidence and traction towards your goals, sessions might transition to bi-weekly or monthly. The flexibility of our approach ensures that the coaching frequency adapts to your evolving requirements, ensuring optimal support and accountability.
What if I'm unsure about my goals and direction?
It's completely normal to feel uncertain about your goals and direction. Our coaching process begins with an initial assessment where we'll work together to clarify your aspirations, values, and priorities. Through insightful questioning and exploration, we'll collaboratively uncover your passions and potential areas for growth. If you're not entirely sure about your goals, our coaching can help you gain clarity and chart a course that aligns with your authentic self. Remember, the journey towards clarity is an integral part of the coaching process itself.
Military Veterans
U.S. military Veterans often face a unique set of struggles upon returning to civilian life. These challenges include physical injuries, such as traumatic brain injuries and amputations, as well as psychological issues like post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. Veterans may also experience difficulties in finding employment, securing stable housing, and reintegrating into their communities. Additionally, the transition from the structured military environment to civilian life can lead to a sense of isolation and loss of purpose. Addressing these issues requires comprehensive support systems, including mental health services, vocational training, and community programs, to help Veterans regain stability and lead fulfilling lives.
