Life Coaching Therapists in Plymouth, MN

I'm a Holistic Health & Life Coach, and Somatic Therapist located in Plymouth, and I work with the body, mind and spirit. I help my clients create a clear vision of who they truly are and what they want in life , and I partner with them, empowering them to find within themselves what it takes to make that vision their reality. I integrate coaching , psychotherapy, spirituality, and holistic health based on my client's needs, and I work with emotions, core values, and unconscious beliefs. I greatly respect my clients and feel honored to join them in their path towards personal growth as they uncover their true potential.

I am passionate about helping people live an authentic life free of the suffering that comes from trauma, post traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), depression, and anxiety. I use a variety of modalities to determine how your past has defined and directed your life so that together we can create a new narrative for healthy living. If you want to get beyond the pain and begin to live life more fully, I would feel honored to work with you in this transformation.

Should I stay or should I go? Maybe you are considering ...in the middle of...or adjusting to separation or divorce. Are you feeling anxious about how to tell the important people in your life ? Is communicating with your soon-to-be ex difficult, painful and near impossible? Are you concerned about attorney costs and influence that can deplete your emotional and financial resources? Do you worry about how this will impact your children's healthy development? As your divorce coach I partner with you to provide experienced practical and emotional support and guidance at every stage of the divorce process.

Are you or your loved one experiencing challenges related to autism or Asperger's? Do you need a therapist who understands your family and your unique situation? If you are an individual or family living with autism and are looking for a safe place to process your feelings, address trauma, improve communication or problem solve daily challenges, I would be honored to help. As both an experienced therapist and a parent of a young adult with ASD, I understand how autism, Asperger's, anxiety or ADHD impacts you and your entire family.

For those who want to change I help beyond listening. I connect with my clients and we find ways for you to change. Change in therapy is hard and I provide support through a strong counseling relationship with you. I have a wide life experience that helps me relate to your particular life situation. I also have experience in other careers which helps me understand workplace challenges.

Deciding to make changes in your life takes courage and motivation. My approach incorporates the latest research in the treatment of a wide range of anxiety, depression and relationship problems. You can expect a straightforward, supportive environment to discuss and implement your treatment goals. While I primarily use cognitive-behavioral approaches, I value the mind-body connection and am open to newer holistic and integrated therapies. I have received specialized training in Exposure/Response Prevention from NOCD. As a psychologist with extensive child, adolescent and adult training and experience I can work with all ages.

I work with teens and adults struggling with anxiety, work/school and relationship issues. My specialization, however, is in marriage & family therapy using a systems approach and many methods introduced by John Gottman. I'm advanced trained in Discernment counseling as well. Finally, I work on the entire spectrum of relationships from dating to pre-marital to transitions or divorce. I also provide parenting coaching . I am also trained as a divorce mediator and help many people with parenting plans.

I've been in private practice since 1997, specializing in working with complex family systems and children and adult victims of trauma and grief/loss. I work in creative ways to help marriages be healthy and life giving. As a Parenting Consultant, I work with divorcing families on co-parenting issues or on reunifying parenting relationships. I work with area schools as a chemical health consultant, with families that need an intervention for a loved one, and after care following chemical health treatment.

My goal is to assist you in learning life skills to thrive and find meaning, joy and love. Our clinic has a warm, supportive environment enabling you to learn more deeply how to live these skills and create a life that makes a "world of difference". We will work together holistically to emphasize your individual positive strengths drawn on for the healing process. These approaches work well for coordinated treatment with other medical providers and professionals (examples: MD's, psychiatrist, chiropractors, massage therapists).

I've helped many clients work through difficult challenges they're facing and would like to help you too. I have a very straight forward, assertive and somewhat irreverent communication style. We work hard, bravely dig as deep as we need to and have some belly laughs along the way. My clients appreciate how real and raw it can get, they feel free to share the good, bad and the ugly. If you're ready to be a good student I am a good teacher = Let's roll up our sleeves?!

Dr. Goetz is dedicated to promoting the Emotional, Psychological, Physical, and Relationship Health of Children, Youth, Adults, Couples, and Families. It is Dr. Goetz' philosophy of therapy to maximize the healthy development of each family member and enhance both individual and family strengths and resiliency.The Core Values of his work include: forming a therapeutic and equal partnership with clients in their quest for emotional and relationship health; and forming a partnership with other health care service providers when they are involved.

The journey to emotional health begins with discovering and nurturing the authentic self. When we make choices that are inconsistent with who we are, our ability to participate in life , to love and work is compromised. This can often lead to avoiding the things that truly matter to us causing us to feel depressed or anxious. When this happens, we tend to avoid more. And the cycle continues. In my work, I help clients (ages 16+) re-engage with life focusing on their values and what matters most to them.

Are you making a big change in your life like changing jobs/careers, divorce, experiencing a loss or retirement? Maybe it's a change you should be happy about....but you're not. Did you know Anxiety and Depression encourage negative thoughts that stall changes, isolate people, effect career growth and challenge supportive relationships? I can help you learn how to combat the negative voices of Depression and Anxiety. Learn how to be your best "you" and enjoy life more.
