Description of Services
Life Coaching is a partnership in which you and your coach will come together in a thought-provoking, creative process in order to inspire you to maximize your personal and professional potential, to improve your performance, and enhance the quality of your life.
Together, the two of you will work to produce fulfilling results in your personal and professional life. As you work together, you can expect your coach to listen, observe, and customize his/her approach to your individual needs.
It is important for to understand that there are both benefits and risks associated with participating in coaching. Coaching may improve your ability to relate with others, provide a clearer understanding of yourself, your values, goals, and ability to deal with everyday stress. Unlike counseling, which focuses on uncovering and healing from past issues, coaching is about discovery. In this way, the scope of coaching is narrower than the scope of counseling, which is more focused on assisting persons hoping to identify dysfunction or trauma in order to overcome and resolve old pain. Counselors diagnose and provide treatment interventions,. while coaches help clients identify the challenges and then work in partnership to support them in obtaining their goals. Every coach at Fortunes and Families is also a professionally licensed counselor and qualified to recognize, diagnose, and treat serious mental/emotional problems (i.e. substance abuse, major depression,. anxiety disorders, personality disorders, etc).
Like all human endeavors, coaching services can involve some feelings of distress and frustration which commonly accompany the process of change. If it becomes apparent to your coach that you are encountering emotions/thoughts which go beyond the normal discomfort of change and indicate that you may be wrestling with more serious mental health issues, he/she will temporarily pause coaching services and refer you to an appropriate mental health professional for a thorough evaluation. Once any clinical issues have been addressed, the coach will resume coaching sessions.
