Do You Feel Like You Want To Become More Independent But Have No Idea Where To Start?
The transition to adulthood can feel scary, hard and confusing. There are so many new pressures, responsibilities and challenges to figure out. You may feel like you have big goals and aspirations but need an accountability partner to get started. Are you ready to make a plan for a future you want to create?
You may have questions about your career path and need help determining what your strengths and passions are or are seeking support through the process of getting into your choice of career through resume, application and interview preparation. Life coaching can also help you during big life transitions and help you develop executive function skills, habits for high performance and motivation for personal growth and self development.
There are many reasons as to why you may benefit from working with a life coach. We specialize in helping young adults who are taking the first steps to building an independent life for themselves.

Do You Need Life Coaching or therapy?
It is not uncommon to be confused as to whether you need counseling or life coaching and you may find yourself thinking you need a combination of both. However, there is a difference.
The objective of life coaching is to overcome any obstacles that may be hindering you from achieving personal or professional goals. Those obstacles may be external (lack of resources or education) or internal (motivation, self-confidence, executive function skills). Those who engage in life coaching must be fully functioning from a mental health standpoint or working with a separate therapist simultaneously. Occasionally, sessions may appear similar to counseling because we use the same evidence-based models from psychology but for a different purpose. In coaching, we are not restoring mental health, but rather we are 'leveling up'. Life Coaching is suitable for individuals who may be feeling lost and confused and want to gain motivation to help them achieve their goals.
The main objective of counseling is to restore mental and/or emotional health and relationships, both with others and/or with themselves. The individuals mental health issues often impact their ability to fully function on a daily basis and they may be struggling with a mental health condition that is undiagnosed or ongoing. The goal of counseling is to help the client through this period of time, teach skills to restore wellbeing and work toward recovery. Some signs that you may need counseling include changes in mood or energy levels, isolation from family and friends, feelings of overwhelm, hopelessness and excessive worrying.

What Our Life Coaching For Young Adults Process Looks Like
What Makes Us Different
We put our relationship with you first and back it up with high-quality, research-supported approaches. We lead with authenticity and work hard to relate to you on your level. Our approach to treatment is fully individualized because you are unique. The three most common evidence-based methods we include are Solution-Focused Coaching which is very action orientated and discusses accountability and skills training, Motivational interviewing to help you with the stages of change and acquiring new habits, and Cognitive Behavioral Coaching.
Cognitive Behavioral Therapy (CBT) or 'coaching' when used in this capacity, helps people broaden their thinking and learn new ways of responding to difficult thoughts and emotions. You will develop a tool-kit of skills to overcome internal obstacles to personal success.
ACT is a mindfulness-based behavior training that is highly action-focused. You will learn new ways of dealing with difficult thoughts, emotions and challenges so that they have less impact and influence on you as you commit to positive change that improves your life.
Motivational Interviewing is especially effective because it helps you figure out your own barriers and increase motivation to change. The approach is especially helpful for clients who are doubtful about changing but who know that they need to.
Frequently asked questions
If you feel like your struggles are impacting your mental health and daily life than counseling is a more appropriate option. Life Coaching is a growth-focused service designed to help people 'level up' and achieve personal goals.
The process of change takes time and consistent support is critical for success. We recommend once/week sessions until you are achieving your goals. Sessions can gradually reduce when goals have been achieved and you are working to maintain progress.
It is not uncommon for young adults to attend coaching with encouragement and financial support from family. However, you are a legal adult with full rights to confidentiality. Under no circumstance will your coach breach confidentiality without your consent with exception of court ordered mandates and abuse of minors or elders. Young Adults who wish to have others involved in the process must give signed consent.
Not typically. Unfortunately, most insurance providers do not cover coaching services of any kind. Check with your insurance company directly to be sure.
