Mental Wellness Coaching with an Integrative Approach is a dynamic way to foster balance and healing, focusing not just on the mind, but on the complete spectrum of who you are—body, spirit, and beyond. Unlike traditional therapies, this method doesn't pathologize your experiences. Instead, it validates your feelings and reactions as perfectly matched to your current state of emotional awareness and coping mechanisms.
Our work together is centered on you. It's about cultivating self-leadership and embracing solution-based practices that lead to genuine, sustainable change. As an inner parts facilitator, I integrate IFS (Internal Family Systems) coaching into our sessions, which helps untangle complex feelings and fosters a harmonious internal dialogue.
This coaching is particularly effective because it approaches healing by considering the entire person. We'll work together to gently recalibrate your nervous system and enhance your resilience, aiming for a rejuvenated sense of self and a revitalized approach to life's challenges.
Benefits of an Integrative Approach to Mental Wellness Coaching:

Cultivates Emotional Balance: Utilizes understanding and techniques that help balance emotional states, enhancing overall well-being.
Encourages Resilience: Through our sessions, you'll develop tools and strategies to strengthen your resilience against life's ups and downs.
Promotes Overall Well-Being: By focusing on all parts of the self—emotional, physical, and spiritual—this coaching method fosters a comprehensive sense of well-being.
Mental Wellness Coaching is suitable for anyone eager to explore their inner landscape in a compassionate, non-judgmental space. Whether you're facing life transitions, stress, anxiety, or simply seeking a deeper connection with your true self, this integrative approach is designed to support you in navigating your path to wholeness.

The number of sessions you might need in Mental Wellness Coaching can vary widely depending on your individual goals, current situation, and how you progress. Typically, here’s what you can expect:
Initial Consultation: The first session usually serves as a discovery phase to understand your needs and goals and to outline a preliminary plan.
Short-Term Goals: If you have specific, short-term goals, you might see progress in a few sessions, often ranging from 5 to 10 sessions.
Long-Term Development: For more comprehensive or long-term objectives, such as significant personal growth or major life transitions, ongoing coaching might be beneficial. This could mean regular sessions over several months or even longer.
Periodic Check-Ins: Some people benefit from starting with more frequent sessions and then tapering off to periodic check-ins as they achieve self-sufficiency in managing their wellness.
It’s important to approach coaching as a flexible, personalized process. The actual number of sessions will depend on how you respond to coaching and your evolving needs.
Mental Wellness Coaching involves personalized sessions where we focus on developing self-leadership, emotional intelligence, and coping strategies to improve overall well-being and achieve specific personal goals.
We may start the session by discussing current issues or emotions that are coming up for you but then shift into establishing balance and developing small achievable habits or tools to help you achieve your long-term goals without shocking your nervous system.
It's important for me that we focus on what you feel is a priority in your life and find the best solutions to get you where you want to be.
While therapy often deals with mental health issues and past traumas under a licensed professional, Mental Wellness Coaching focuses on the present and future goals, fostering personal growth and resilience without diagnosing or treating mental illnesses.
Wellness Coaching focuses on optimizing your general well-being and helps you set and achieve personal and professional goals. Unlike therapy, which often delves into deep-seated psychological issues, coaching is more about strategizing and empowering you in the here and now. It's ideal for individuals who feel generally well but want to enhance their life satisfaction and achieve specific aspirations.
Goal-Oriented Approach: Coaching focuses on setting and achieving specific goals, ideal for individuals looking to enhance their current life situation rather than address deep-seated psychological issues.
Future-Focused: While therapy often explores past traumas and issues, coaching centers on the future, helping clients plan and move forward in life.
Empowerment and Autonomy: Coaches empower clients to take charge of their lives, fostering self-reliance and personal growth.
Short-Term Commitment: Coaching can be more short-term and flexible, appealing to those who need strategic guidance rather than long-term therapy.
Less Stigma: Some may perceive less stigma around coaching as it is often seen more as personal development rather than mental health treatment.
Practical Tools and Techniques: Coaches provide practical strategies and tools that clients can immediately apply in their daily lives for better results.
Wellness and Prevention Oriented: Coaching is proactive, focusing on building resilience and enhancing well-being before significant issues arise.
While unfortunately I do not accept any insurance, paying out of pocket for coaching rather than using insurance for therapy might be preferable for several reasons:
Privacy and Confidentiality: When paying out of pocket, there's no need to provide a mental health diagnosis to insurance companies, which keeps your sessions and personal information more private.
More Control Over Sessions: Clients can choose how often to see their coach without limitations set by insurance providers regarding the number of sessions or frequency of visits.
Choice of Coach: Paying out of pocket allows individuals to select a coach based on compatibility and specialization, rather than being restricted to a list of providers approved by their insurance.
Flexibility in Services: Coaches often offer services that are more tailored to individual needs and personal growth goals, which might not be covered under traditional health insurance.
No Need for Diagnosis: Coaching does not require a medical diagnosis, which can be essential for those who are seeking help for personal development and do not meet the criteria for a psychiatric diagnosis.
Avoidance of Labeling: Without the necessity of a diagnosis, clients avoid any potential stigma associated with having a mental health condition recorded on their medical records.
Immediate Access: There is often no waiting period for coaching services, unlike therapy where wait times can be lengthy due to insurance approvals and provider availability.
Investment in Personal Growth: Paying out of pocket can be seen as an investment in one’s self-improvement and development, which can be empowering and motivating for many individuals.
