For Therapists: Referrals & Collaboration
Referrals to coaches are increasingly being made by therapists for clients who may benefit from secondary support. Not therapy – you provide that – but also not just some well-meaning person who lacks the perspective and tools to actually be helpful.
What I offer
- Applied philosophy, not therapy: well-recognized ideas, mainly from secular Buddhism and Stoicism
- Help reframing challenges and engaging with them more productively
- Pragmatic sessions – see what happens in-session
What I don't do
- Classic coaching: Pep talks plus externalized accountability
- Talk of "aligning vibrations" or "manifesting"
- Assume and impose external goals
- Make clients feel bad about uneven progress
Background
- B.A. in Psychology
- M.A. in Counseling Psychology
- Six years in the field
- Additional experience uncommon among coaches or therapists
As described on the About page, I have an unusually diverse background that allows me to relate to people in a wide variety of circumstances.
