Mentoring
My mentoring service answers the need of young adults and adolescents that may not need or be willing to engage in therapy. Throughout the years, I have learned that one of the most powerful, and even healing relationships is that of a young person and a mentor. It is a relationship based on support, encouragement, and believing in the resiliency and power of a young mind to overcome their challenges. It is healing because the relationship creates a safe space that can both fully accept the individual while challenging them to become bigger than they may believe they can be. While mentoring is not therapy, it focuses on the primary struggles of development and integration of a sense of self, character building, and motivation towards the future.
Coaching
The service I consider coaching, involves your goals, your passions, finding balance in your life while finding a way to achieve greater fulfillment. Similar to mentoring, my brand of coaching is directed more towards adults and recent or upcoming college graduates that may be feeling slightly “stuck”, “unsure”, or lacking a work/life balance. Coaching is not therapy, it is not advice, it is a blend of non-therapeutic solution focused and problem solving therapy techniques that can help remind you of your strength, resiliency, passions, and skills that you already possess to achieve your goals.
The Cost to You...
The primary cost to you will be in the work you do. These services do require motivation for change, a willingness to explore, and action. As with all self-improvement, the results are dependant on your ability to try new things.
The Financial Cost:
The cost of Mentoring and Coaching services are typically not covered by insurance. Due to this, these services on their own are on a cash basis. After an initial $35.00 fee, an agreement will be made for the remaining services if we are a "good fit." This will be based on goals, level of need, community or office based services, and financial resources.
