“I myself am a product of Life Coaching. Throughout the years I’ve developed a system of support that has allowed me to properly nourish my emotional, physical, relational, and spiritual side and it is the joy of my life to walk alongside people eager to problem-solve.”

“My wife and I have been married for over 40 years. We had no pre-marital counseling and were left to figure out this wonderful but difficult adventure called marriage without many tools. This has led me to be passionate about equipping engaged couples for God-honoring and fulfilling relationships.”

HOW DOES COACHING DIFFER FROM THERAPY? 

Professional Life Coaches serve as collaborative partners who help clients crystalize life goals, and then accomplish them. Coaching is a process of moving from where you are now to where you wish to be in specific areas of your life. It is important to note, Coaching is not therapy, and it not a substitute for counseling services with a mental health professional. Our Life Coaches are trained to identify clients in need of counseling, and refer them to our team of therapists and psychologists. 

Each of our therapists are professionally licensed by the state of Florida, and many hold certifications in areas of specialties such as play therapy, EMDR, addictions, etc.  Therapists can help clients resolve issues from their past that may be blocking them from moving forward, and causing problems in their present. Therapy can heal deep emotional trauma, family of origin concerns, as well as clinical issues such as anxiety, depression, addictions, trauma, abuse, and significant marital or family needs. Therapists are trained to test, assess, and treat significant psychological, emotional, and relational challenges. They work collaboratively with clients and with medical professionals on the client’s behalf. 

Will Life Coaching Work for Me?

Coaching makes a difference when two factors are present: 

  1. The client is willing to change and grow.

  2. There is a gap between where the client is and where they want to be.
