You need someone who can help you unravel why beliefs about yourself, life, trying harder, & happiness, keep you stuck in a repeating pattern.
You're beginning to wonder if a Happily Ever After fairytale is possible for you. The Hallmark and rom com movies all seem to make it look so much easier. But all these roles you’re expected to play to perfection… love interest, stressed professional, kick-ass parent, funny sidekick, unpaid Uber driver, caring sister, Christmas enthusiast who moves back to their hometown - leaves you exhausted & struggling. But you're also expected to be emotionally available, and not have any struggles with anxiety. You’re fucking exhausted. But maybe, you (keep) telling yourself, if you try just a little harder, you can make it work.

Hi, I'm Andie. I've helped people with their mental health recovery since the late 1980s. People have come to me feeling overwhelmed with challenging life circumstances or transitions. Some struggled to manage sadness, fear, ruminating thoughts, trauma, identity issues, relationship conflicts, unhealthy habits and more. Have you suffered in silence? Did you turn to others for support but they were too busy? Do they make suggestions without really hearing and acknowledging your feelings? Understanding and replacing ineffective patterns of thought/behavior takes time; it can be less overwhelming with guidance from a therapist.

Life Coaching Therapists

What can I expect from life coaching?

Clients and coaches will typically start by identifying the problem area(s) that the client hopes to address—then, the coach will help the client brainstorm potential solutions and explore concrete techniques to help the client attain their goals. Coaching is typically short-term and focused on finding solutions in the here and now, rather than exploring a client’s past. In addition to strategies aimed at the client’s specific concerns, coaches may encourage general stress management techniques such as meditation.

Can a life coach help treat anxiety?

Because the majority of life coaches are not licensed clinicians, they are not qualified to diagnose or treat anxiety. Anyone struggling with anxiety or another mental health condition should seek help from a licensed mental health practitioner. However, some coaching clients who struggle with subclinical anxiety report that working with their coach on other problems—such as career dissatisfaction or unhealthy habits—has a positive effect on their anxiety.

Can life coaching be done online?

Yes. While life coaching often happens in person, many coaches conduct sessions over the phone or via online platforms such as Zoom or Skype. Because life coaches are not subject to local licensing regulations in the same way that therapists are, they are able to see clients who live in other locations.

How long does life coaching last?

Life coaching tends to be a shorter-term process than therapy, though it does not always unfold over a specific period of time and is instead based on the coach’s or the client’s preferences. Coaching often takes place over three to 12 months but may be shorter or longer if necessary.
