Starting Life coaching

What is life coaching?

Life coaching is a personalized support system that helps individuals clarify goals, develop action plans, and navigate challenges. Coaches employ effective communication and active listening to assist clients in overcoming obstacles, unlocking their potential, and achieving personal growth for a more fulfilling life.

How does life coaching work?

In life coaching, our coaches utilize diverse therapeutic techniques that are tailored to individuals, including cognitive behavioral, solution-focused, mindfulness, and positive psychology approaches. They also utilize active listening and empathetic communication to provide a supportive space for you to explore and achieve personal goals and overcome challenges, fostering personal growth and clarity.

Is life coaching conducted in person or online?

Life coaching with our therapists in Woodstock, GA is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.

How long does life coaching last?

The number of life coaching sessions someone attends can differ based on the coach and the client’s choices. How many sessions are needed and how often they occur often hinges on the client’s objectives and the complexity of their concerns. Some clients might opt for a few sessions to tackle particular goals or issues, while others may decide on ongoing coaching sessions to work on personal growth and life enhancement over a more extended period of time. Thriveworks Woodstock therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Need more help deciding?

“You can’t go back and change the beginning, but you can start where you are and change the ending.” -C.S Lewis

We’ve all been there- you wake up, stare at your ceiling and think I could be doing so much more.

Thriveworks Woodstock Life Coaching believes: Yes! You can! Let’s start getting there. It’s easy to imagine yourself on top of that mountain you’ve dreamed of climbing. But we all start in the same spot- down in the valley, staring up at the daunting challenge.

Whether you’re trying to decide to take that mountain path or have already started climbing, Thriveworks Woodstock Life Coaches are here to be your guide and biggest supporter as you achieve your dreams.

What Is Life Coaching?

In many ways, Life Coaching is like counseling. In many ways, it is different. Both focus on moving past a mental, emotional, or physical block to a healthier, happier place in life. The difference is where you start.

Counseling’s goal is to heal. Life Coaching’s goal is to maximize. Think of an athlete who injures her leg. She’ll probably rest it, apply some ice, and go to physical therapy. In the same way, counseling heals stretched and scarred minds.

What if an athlete wants to push herself and become an even better athlete? She’ll train harder, maybe get a coach who can design workouts and encourage her on her way. She will learn how to maximize her energy, time, and resources.

Life coaching is designed to push you to where you want to be. It develops and practices skills you may not have known you have and can even create new ones! Where will you go, with professional guidance and unconditional support? Thriveworks Woodstock Life Coaching is incredibly diverse. Practically anything can be addressed in a coaching session. Some of the more common topics include:

  • Graduating from college
  • Earning and receiving a promotion
  • Adjusting to change
  • Making a major life transition
  • Embarking on a new career path
  • Opening a family business
  • Feeling happy and comfortable at work

Some people come to Life Coaching looking for a motivational pep talk. Others come looking for an in-depth dive into motives, decisions, and who they are. Both are great reasons to see a Thriveworks Woodstock Life coach!

If discontentment is a part of your life, or there’s a dream you can’t stop thinking about, a Woodstock Life coach could be perfect for you to reach new levels.

What Will a Life Coaching Session Look Like?

Our goal as Thriveworks Woodstock Life Coaches is to help you reach your full potential. Self-doubt is rampant in today’s society. A Life Coach session will help deconstruct those doubts and take a renewed look at your strengths. What that looks like will be different from person to person. Self-reflection and attainable goals are two pillars of life coaching though. Afterall, you know yourself better than any of our Life Coaches!

Thriveworks Woodstock practices a client-centered mindset. Your goals and dreams are front and center every session. We are simply your guides as you climb your mountain. Because of this, no two sessions will look the same.

What you walk away with will be different as well, but a few will be:

  • Unconditional encouragement and direction from your life coach
  • A more complete view of your goals
  • Techniques and strategies that will help you reach those goals
  • Greater accountability
  • Higher self-esteem and confidence
  • Personal development in areas that matter to you
  • A clearer path to success and happiness

We can’t go our whole life merely surviving. Eventually, we will want to thrive. Thriveworks Woodstock Life Coaching is excited to start this new adventure in your life and see what new heights are achieved.

My 16 yr old daughter had been struggling with mood swings and depression/anxiety for a few years. We tried talk therapy first with a therapist but as she got older, the issues persisted. I contacted Thriveworks to seek out further help and everyone I engaged with was very helpful, very clear about the billing process and the psychiatry care schedule. We have had three sessions now with provider Melissa Gray and the care has been awesome. My daughter's mental health has been great and she is coping with things much better. It had been challenging to find the psychiatric care my daughter needed with other facilities either not taking new patients or being limited in the care provided. Thriveworks answered my call immediately and were able to get our first telemed appt within a few days. I strongly recommend Thriveworks!

I am so thankful to have found counsel with Ms. Porter. She has given me great coping strategies and is diligent in helping me walk through challenges and finding viable solutions. I started counseling in September and believe that I would not be able to navigate through the recent challenges had it not been for extensive counseling with Ms. Porter.

DeShawn provided world-class support for me during a time of transformation and confusion. He sat patiently with me and guided me to better understand my triggers, my strengths and my weaknesses so I can be a more formed person and more importantly, a kinder being to my self. Definitely recommend DeShawn for any therapeutic needs.

I was skeptical about doing therapy online but Ms. Parker made everything really welcoming and it has helped so much. I only write this so that anyone who is also skeptical knows how much Thriveworks has made this a positive experience and maybe they won't hesitate either

My 16 yr old daughter has been with Raven for a short time and already has had success in behavior and emotional healing. Raven is very brilliant, nurturing and caring, an excellent therapist. We are so thankful she is guiding our daughter in a healthy direction.
