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 Washington, DC 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 Washington therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

Why Work with a Life Coach?

Life coaching extends beyond the realm of sports, offering benefits to individuals in various aspects of their lives. Here are some reasons people work with a life coach:

  • Achieving Goals: Whether it’s a personal milestone like running a race or a professional goal like securing a promotion, life coaches help plan the best path towards these achievements.
  • Navigating Challenges: Life can change unexpectedly. Life coaches provide strategies and support for dealing with major changes like job loss, divorce, or medical diagnoses.

The life coaches at Thriveworks Washington, DC have extensive experience helping clients achieve their goals and navigate life’s challenges. We provide the accountability, support, and encouragement needed for success.

Cultivating Self-Awareness and Achieving Success

Self-awareness is key to achieving goals and navigating challenges. Understanding your values, strengths, weaknesses, and motivations can help you define what success looks like for you. Life coaches at Thriveworks Washington, DC use tools like The Miracle Question to help clients increase self-awareness and translate their dreams into tangible steps.

The Benefits of Goal-Setting

Setting goals can lead to a more driven and meaningful life. Research shows that people who regularly set personal and professional goals tend to be happier and more successful. Benefits of goal-setting include:

  • Focusing energy and time on what matters most

I’ve really been helped by Thriveworks. I have a wonderful counselor who has been able to arm me with resources and knowledge surrounding my mental illness so I can be more prepared against my own future thoughts or environments. I’ve been able to request a different psychiatrist when one was not entirely a correct match for me, and I always get great positive feedback and respect from my mental health care professionals. It seems like they actually want you to have a good match with someone and will help you along the way.

As an educator of students with a variety of special needs, I can attest to Sam's pedigree as a counselor. He is a skillful communicator, a staunch advocate for his clients, and he demonstrates an uncanny ability to remain calm and knowledgeable despite every and any difficult situation. Sam has been an invaluable resource to me in understanding the underlying conditions and trauma that provoke certain behaviors in children. In short, he has made me a better teacher!
