Practical skills, clear goals, and steady accountability as you build the life you want. Coaching is offered as a distinct service, separate from psychiatric care.
Our life coaching services focus on helping you build practical skills, clarify goals, and create meaningful change in everyday life. Coaching is forward-focused and action-oriented. Together we can work on stress management, career and academic direction, relationships, self-confidence, and healthy routines.
While distinct from therapy, coaching can complement mental health treatment by strengthening motivation, accountability, and personal growth. If you are already working with a therapist or prescriber, coaching can support the skills side of that work as you move toward the life you want to create.
Workplace confidence, interview preparation, and navigating growth or change in your career, including support for nurses and new NPs stepping into practice.
Sleep routines, daily structure, screen habits, and steady consistency with the basics that keep you feeling well.
Support through big changes such as a new job, a new city, or a new chapter, with particular care for international students and immigrants adjusting to life in the US. Offered in English and Vietnamese.
Skills and systems for attention, organization, and getting started, helpful for adults who struggle with focus or executive function.
Everyday tools for managing big feelings, breaking unhelpful patterns, and responding rather than reacting.
Clarity on what you want, a realistic plan to get there, and accountability along the way.
We keep this line very clear, for your protection and ours.
Coaching is not diagnosis, treatment, or therapy. It is practical skills, goal clarity, accountability, and habit building.
Because coaching is offered by a licensed clinician, we hold ourselves to clear written policies that keep the two services separate.
Coaching clients who need clinical care are referred out to an appropriate provider, or formally converted to patients through a proper psychiatric intake. We do not blend the two. If something comes up in coaching that calls for assessment, diagnosis, or treatment, we will pause coaching and talk openly about the right next step for you.
Every coaching client signs a coaching agreement before we begin. The agreement states that coaching is not medical or psychiatric care, that no diagnosis or treatment is provided, that no provider-patient relationship is formed, and that coaching is not billable to insurance. This protects you, sets clear expectations, and keeps the coaching relationship honest from day one.
Coaching is cash pay only. It is not a covered medical service and is never billed to insurance. You will always know the cost up front, with no claims, no codes, and no surprises.
Curious whether coaching is a fit?
Reach out and we can talk through your goals and whether coaching, clinical care, or a referral is the right starting point for you.
Coaching services are separate from psychiatric care and do not establish a provider-patient relationship.
