Coaching

Coaching is the act of guiding a person to achieve a specific goal, either professional or personal. Although therapists and coaches have similar approaches, coaches are typically more direct and have more frequent contact with clients than therapists, and focus on the specific goal at hand, rather than seeking the root of an issue. If you have a specific goal you'd like a professional perspective on, coaching might be a good step. Contact one of TherapyDen’s coaching experts today!

With experience as a therapeutic coach, I believe coaching can be a powerful catalyst for positive change for people looking to address challenges and enrich their lives. A foundation to coaching is utilizing a Strength-Based approach, emphasizing an individual's existing skills, talents, and resources. As such, coaching can help make therapy feel more tangible.

Personal growth is a lifelong process that can help us all to live more fulfilling lives. If therapy is for those looking to grow by healing the wounds from the past, coaching can be for individuals who have made peace with the past (for the most part), and are looking to grow optimally in the present. Life can be so much more; we are full of potential, more than we realize. I am here to help you gain the skills and mindsets that you need to become your own guide of personal growth.

Personal growth is a lifelong process that can help us live more fulfilling lives.

I am here to help you gain the skills and mindsets that you need to grow into your potential, and ultimately, become your own master of personal growth.

As a Mental Wellness coach, I help my clients gain clarity in their purpose and vision, guide them through the decision-making process, support them in removing blocks to progress in goals throughout all areas of their life, and assist them in overcoming imposter syndrome and other limiting beliefs. This allows them to set healthy boundaries, avoid or recover from burnout, improve their relationships, and achieve true work-life harmony.

Sometimes, it's just good to process your emotions, hopes, dreams, fears, and struggles with someone who isn't your parent, sibling, partner, or boss. Coaching helps you sort through your thoughts and emotions about the direction you see your life going. Do you make a left turn, or a right turn. Together, we'll map out a plan to point your toes in the direction you want to be going in your life. Think of coaching as a gentle nudge to empower you toward growth and progress in your life.

My love for therapy and history and processing the past is tremendous. I have found that freedom from the past does not mean one is ready and equipped for change and growth. Coaching provides practical tools for growth and change. For reaching and living bigger and bolder. I love love love coaching :)

— Lisa Ndejuru, Psychotherapist in Montreal,
 

My career history before therapy involved lots of mentoring and educating, and with certain clients or struggles, it can be helpful to help build structure or encourage someone along a certain goal. I find coaching especially useful for relationship counseling, when couples may need guidance to get back to a healthier dynamic. I also use it a lot with ADHD clients, to help build routines and accountability.

— Lauren Sill, Marriage and Family Therapist Associate

Sometimes we need practical skills to help us get to the next level in our wellness. This may require some skill-building to develop new systems and habits with our career, nutrition, fitness, morning routine, time management, etc. For instance, you may come with anxiety, but once we create a plan and establish boundaries, you feel centered, in control, and well-rested. Coaching can play a huge role in being just what you need to heal and move forward-- especially in addition to CBT.
