Is Coaching Right For You?
You are struggling in your life, emotions and/or relationships.
Therapy has been helpful, but you're still not where you want to be.
You feel anxious, struggle with anger, or feel easily overwhelmed.
You and your partner are in this downWard spiral that you can't stop.
you're ready to be intentional in living life to the fullest! You know you are capable of better.

Simply Put: Therapy treats mental illness. Coaching helps with distress.
Coaching and therapy are different even if they overlap in places. Not all individuals who want help living a better life have a mental health disorder and need a mental health provider. Often the people we work with have been in traditional therapy for years and still are not where they want to be. Sometimes you're stuck, not sick.
more about The Difference
We will discuss your needs to ensure they are able to be addressed within coaching. If you require more than what is provided through coaching, we will make a referral to an appropriate licensed provider. We collaborate with healthcare providers and coordinate care to support our clients.
As integrated/alternative providers, we neither make nor treat medical or mental diagnoses. Even though our coaches are either licensed mental health providers or pre-licensed mental health providers, in this capacity we are not operating as licensed therapists, physicians, or psychologists providing traditional medical or mental health treatment.
Our coaches are formally trained to work with both the mind and the body. We implement strategies informed by Eastern and Western medicine and provide alternative therapy that is complementary to the healing arts services that are offered by providers who are licensed by the state. We offer services that are in compliance with California state laws, including California Business & Professional Code § 2053.6
Sometimes we are just stuck and need help. Coaching may be a fit.
We practice alternative approaches to healing because traditional psychotherapy isn't always the right for for all people or problems. We implement a holistic approach and integrate an individual’s body, mind, and spirit/spirituality because sometimes we are stuck in one or all of these vital areas of our experience.

do i need coaching or therapy?
No commitment other that a quick 20 minutes when you want to make the time. Let's talk a little about what's going on, what you want, and we'll see if we are the right fit for you. It'll give us a chance to give you an idea of the work and you an opportunity to get a feel for us. It's your life, live it well!

So, is that a yes?
"Vanessa listens with a kind, compassionate heart and I can tell her anything..."
"...without feeling judged. She also has given me practical tools I can use and I really noticed how much I was ignoring the signals my body was sending me. Definitely noticed a shift even after the first session."

Yes, It Really Gets Better
"I was initially drawn to her because I was curiously skeptical."
"Vanessa came highly recommend by a colleague. In all honesty, I was initially drawn to her because I was curiously skeptical. I stayed because she is crazy, wicked smart and I actually experience the changes. We don't just talk about problems. We resolve them."

"Shannon really gets my son. She has an easy going and fun-loving demeanor."
"My son looks forward to seeing her and our family has been able to spend time together without everything turning into a circus. I appreciate the way she both dumbs down what she is talking about so I understand it without talking down to me."
