My therapy style is caring, supportive and non-judgmental, freeing you to relax for open communication. We guide you in becoming aware of emotional and habitual triggers so you can change repetitive patterns of behavior that are not helping you. You will learn to understand yourself with new eyes and really see with crystal clarity where you are now and how you got there. When everything “clicks” into place, then you will learn new ways to think about yourself and respond to what's thrown your way and move in a healthy direction.”

Life Coach Charles

After it turned eighteen, I left Pennsylvania and went to reside in Maine for an extended period of time. While I lived in Maine, I first started in the service industry, further learning about people and exploring what kind of things I was looking to do with the rest of my life. When I first started thinking about a career, I decided upon the path of computer science. To begin this great journey, I started at Eastern Maine Community College. It was there that I realized I had zero passion for anything related to computer science. I was then drawn to change majors to my true passion in life, Psychology. Afterwards, I got a job as a BHP (Behavioral Health Professional). This work entailed that I would be working with children, some in their homes, who had mental disabilities and executive functioning issues. Most of the children I worked with had anxiety, depression or autism. Many were on the spectrum. I acquired several different certificates in the mental health field. I then moved to New Jersey to be close to family. As I started my search for new employment, I found a very interesting career. Life coaching seems to have the calling that I have been searching for. I enjoy helping people find the solutions to all of life’s very difficult challenges that truly never seem to cease. I help my clients through a variety of issues that they will face at one point or another in their lives. Most of my clientele come with the burdens of anxiety and depression which affects most of their life relationships. I have completed several life coaching certificates and am now enrolled in the Health Coaching Institute. I believe that there is good in everyone and I believe three is always a flip side to everything. To every good thing there can be something bad. To every bad thing there can be something good. All of life has a season. If you put everything you have into something, you will eventually achieve it.

Life Coach Ian

As a young teen, the odds of my succeeding were against me. I spent my teenage years struggling to escape the chaotic environment I created around myself and got in trouble with the law. It took being arrested and incarcerated to finally team me kindness and cooperation with others. I found myself in Maine, homeless, penniless and friendless But at the absolute lowest point in my life, I found the strength to rally and claw my way up from the bottom. Today, I am a successful business man, homeowner, father and life coach enjoying the spoils of my hard work and determination

Life Coach Katherine

My Journey has taught me that our past does not define our future. 

I was born in the United States, but when I was six years old my parents separated and my mother decided to move to Guatemala with my siblings and I. Throughout my childhood, we moved back and forth between Guatemala and the United States, never staying in one place for long. It wasn't until I was 12 that we finally settled in New Jersey. 

Growing up with so much uncertainty wasn't easy. I had to mature at a younger age, adapt to constant change, learn to find strength during difficult moments. Looking back, I realize those experiences gave me something invaluable: empathy, resilience, and a deep desire to help others who may be facing their own challenges. 

Today I am pursuing my degree in psychology at County Collge of Morris while following my passion for life coaching. My mission is to walk alongside others as they rediscover their strengths, build confidence, and create a life filled with purpose. I believe healing is possible, growth is always within reach, and even our hardest experiences can become the foundation for something meaningful. 

If my story can remind even one person that they're not alone and that a brighter future is possible, then every challenge I've faced has served a greater purpose. 

​

Mi historia me ha enseñado que nuestro pasado no tiene por qué definir nuestro futuro.

 

Nací en los Estados Unidos, pero cuando tenía seis años mis padres se separaron y mi mamá decidió mudarse a Guatemala junto con mis hermanos y conmigo. Durante mi infancia vivimos entre Guatemala y los Estados Unidos, cambiando de un lugar a otro y enfrentando mucha incertidud. Finalmente, cuando tenía 12 años, nos establecimos en Nueva Jersey.

 

Crecer en medio de tantos cambios no fue fácil. Tuve que madurar desde muy pequeña, aprender a adaptarme y encontrar fortaleza en los momentos más difíciles. Hoy puedo decir que esas experiencias me regalaron algo invaluable: empatía, resiliencia y un profundo deseo de ayudar a los demás.

 

Actualmente estoy estudiando Psicología en County College of Morris mientras sigo mi pasión en Coaching de Vida. Mi misión es acompañar a las personas en su proceso de crecimiento, ayudándolas a redescubrir su fortaleza, fortalecer su confianza y construir una vida con propósito.

 

Creo firmemente que la sanación es posible, que siempre existe la oportunidad de crecer y que incluso las experiencias más difíciles pueden convertirse en la base de algo hermoso. No creo que nuestro pasado determine quiénes somos; creo que puede convertirse en el cimiento de la vida que estamos destinados a construir.

 

Si mi historia puede recordarle a una sola persona que no está sola y que siempre existe la posibilidad de un nuevo comienzo, entonces cada desafío que he vivido habrá tenido un propósito.
