LIFE COACHING IN NYC & BEYOND
How would you like to maximize your potential and fulfill your purpose in life? Life coaching can help. Healthy Minds NYC offers virtual life coaching and executive coaching with our trained life planner.
With options for monthly sessions or a two-day life planning intensive, we can help you improve your relationships, career, and general quality of life.
What is Life Coaching?
Life coaching is expert guidance for your personal and professional life from a wellness professional who functions like a trusted advisor and wise consultant to help you reach your goals. You know those areas of your life where you feel completely stuck and can’t seem to make progress no matter how hard you try? Life coaching can help you break out of your rut to become a better version of yourself.
Set Goals
When you work with a life coach, you’ll receive encouragement to establish clear objectives for your future. Your coach will help you assess where you are now, identify what you hope to accomplish in the future, and make a plan to bridge the gap between who you are and who you want to be.
Get Breakthrough
In life coaching or executive coaching, you will discover the mental barriers and concrete obstacles that are keeping you from being successful. Your coach can provide you with tools and strategies to navigate these challenges.
Stay on Track
As you pursue the life you want, your coach will continue to serve as a trusted advisor, reminding you of where you’re headed. With ongoing accountability and support, you’ll beat distraction, discouragement, and “shiny object syndrome.”
What is the Difference Between Life Coaching and Therapy?
Life coaching can feel similar to therapy in the way both approaches address your fears, anxieties, hopes, and aspirations. However, there are key differences between therapy and life coaching.
How Life Coaching Works:
As you begin life coaching sessions, you’ll find that your coach does the following:
Focuses on creating specific objectives to help you bring your desires to life
Provides accountability to ensure you stay on track to reach your goals
Helps you troubleshoot potential obstacles and mental blocks as you implement your life strategies
Recommends ancillary resources or tools that might be helpful for you to achieve your goals
Makes real-life connections or referrals to help catalyze you on your path to growth
Allows you to schedule sessions as needed based on your growth trajectory
Offers sessions virtually so you can easily access your coach from the comfort of your home or office.
When Should I Start Therapy Instead of Life Coaching?
Based on your unique circumstances, you may wonder if therapy is a better fit for you right now. Our life coach is also trained as a master’s level therapist, so we are happy to guide you into the best form of treatment for your goals. However, you may find therapy more beneficial if you’re seeking the following:
YOU WANT MEDICATION
YOU WANT TO USE INSURANCE
YOU WANT INSIGHT, NOT ACTION
If you want a deep dive into your life history to understand your presenting challenges, therapy may be more appropriate. Therapy offers clinical-level insight to overcome pain from the past or dysfunctional patterns in the present.
If you want guidance on mental health medications to support your well-being or to use a specific therapeutic technique to manage your care, therapy may be better for you.
If you want to submit superbills to your insurance for reimbursement, you’ll need to work with a therapist. During therapy, you’ll receive a diagnosis and CPT code that can be used with your insurance provider.
Who is the Best Candidate for Life Coaching?
Anyone who wants a happier, more meaningful life is a candidate for life coaching. We also recommend professionals work with our life coach for “executive coaching” that focuses on helping you improve your performance and experience specifically within your workplace or career.
If you are experiencing any of the following, you may benefit from life coaching:
A new life transition or major life change
High levels of stress or anxiety
Lack of fulfillment in your social and work lives
Sense of blocked creativity
Frequent irritability and mood changes
Fear that you have just one chance to get it “right”
