• Because MT ALWAYS takes a holistic approach, our coaches make sure to understand your whole person. We're the new old school. We don't believe that a 10-step system will give you everything you need. Instead, we'll walk with you. We'll get to know who you are, your core values, your vision, your dreams, your fears, what drives you, and what hooks you in unhelpful patterns. We excel in our uniqueness in that many of our coaches are ICF certified and all pursue continual trainings and certifications each year. So, what that means is that although your work will be strictly coaching, their insight is unparalleled in that they can notice unique ways you might be getting caught that might otherwise be missed by a coach without formal training and expertise in the human condition.

• Coaching offers that 3rd party perspective to help you step back, reflect, notice blind spots, and re-engage in life in a way that feels more aligned with your person and larger goals. It will give the space to answer, "hold on... what do I really want my life to look like?" When life is pulling on you and the clock keeps ticking overhead, it's a HUGE advantage to slow down, pull your head out of things, and take a new stance that fits right in line with you and isn't colored by immediate movement on the ground floor.

• Coaching helps you resharpen your focus and leave more equipped with the tools and insight you need to nudge your life into a more and more meaningful place that you can feel proud of.

• At MT, we don't joke around about our commitment to our clients’ lives. Our coaches will challenge you, support you, care for you, and inspire you. Your coach is like your life partner in crime. You can count on us to share the deepest dreams, desires, and fears in your heart. We have your back with a ton of encouragement and psychological know-how to help you along the way.

• At MT, you never need to worry about whether you're in the right hands. We'll take our time to really hear you and make sure you get all the support you need to meet your goals and make sure you get matched with the right person. We offer life coaching, mind body health coaching, as well as leadership coaching services.

• Intentional life coaching will help keep you intentional and clear on how you're living and where you want to go in all areas of life (relationships, career, finances, spirituality - all the areas that matter most to you).

• Mind-body health coaching will help you explore new habits to support your body and mind through nutrition, mindful eating, stress reduction, mindfulness, food freedom, and body acceptance (even for the busiest of schedules!)

• Leadership coaching will help you to get more acquainted with the mindsets, skills, stressors, and demands of high-impact roles, business owners, and executive development. From communication skills to culture building, enhancing interpersonal effectiveness to giving and receiving feedback, being a leader is a big and important job! My clients are those who find themselves in roles of leadership or influence and are wanting to do their best for those they are leading. We will discuss and explore your personality, strengths, values, leadership style, as well as the goals and dreams you have for yourself, your life, and those you are leading and influencing.

• The biggest difference between therapy and coaching at MT is that coaching is more structured and highly focused on clarifying your future life vision and establishing very clear goals for yourself to meet them via homework and accountability. Coaching is for folks who have either already done depth therapy work or are otherwise not facing significant emotional concerns that are their primary concern. Sure, as humans we all experience anxiety, stress, and self-doubt (and if you're building an ambitious life, we'll help you BUCKLE UP because all of these emotions will come with you on your journey), but clients that seek coaching are looking for someone that can help them build their life vision and stay on track with what matters most to them.

• This differs from therapy which helps people explore and get way deep into their understanding of self and how it impacts their emotions and relationships (which often includes healing work from the past). In our experience, clients who are the most successful in coaching have engaged in at least some therapy so they can keep their deeper internal awareness in their back pocket as they focus on building their desired future to the best of their ability. To live our best lives, we need to deeply understand ourselves. Therapy is a common first place to start.

• Therapy helps unpack and better understand yourself, your story, deeply set perceptions, and old wounds that cause more disruption than you'd like. Coaching helps you listen out for those hang-ups and barriers without delving too deeply into them, solidify that vision you want for your life, and helps you reach your big life goals as you focus on where you are now and where you want to go one action step at a time.

Coaching is a great fit for people who are in a place where they are actively seeking to BUILD and create (rather than heal) and want to sharpen clarity and concrete focus through goal setting, exploration, and accountability so they can most effectively cultivate their life vision.

• Because MT ALWAYS takes a holistic approach, our coaches understand your whole person. We're the new old school. We don't believe a 10-step system will give you everything you need. Instead, we'll walk with you. We'll get to know who you are, your values, your vision, your dreams, your fears, what drives you, and what hooks you in unhelpful patterns.

• We excel in our uniqueness in that all of our coaches are also working alongside licensed therapists. So, that means that although your work will be strictly coaching, their insight is unparalleled in that they can notice unique ways you might be getting caught that might otherwise be missed by a coach without formal training and expertise in the human condition.

• When you begin coaching at Modern Therapy, you’re guaranteed a passionate coach in their dedicated field who will co-create an energetic space to unlock your inner awareness of the bigger picture of life. During the coaching process, you have your coach’s complete attention and focus.

• The coaching process is designed to help you achieve your personal, wellbeing, and professional goals with support and guidance. Your coach is here to help you establish what your goals are right now and guide you to grow them as life evolves around you. With your goals leading, your coach helps you create the mindset and actionable steps to achieve your goals.

• Everything we discuss will be confidential. Remember, your coach will always be in your corner with your best interests at heart.

Your coach holds themself to a certain standard to make sure this space is what you need it to be. We bring intentionality and a mindset of transformation to help you maintain momentum in the direction you’re most interested in exploring.

In each coaching session, your coach will ask powerful and probing questions, start new conversations, offer different perspectives and teaching points, offer experimentation and exploration, and always help you choose action steps that move you forward. Our time together is designed to help you reach your goals, properly evaluate and re-adjust when necessary, and strengthen your confidence to grow in the areas that are most important to you. We’re here to help you learn a way of being that embodies living with intention, self-reflection, self-accountability, and self-trust.

Coaching services are not to be construed as, or a replacement for psychotherapy, legal counsel, or medical advice. If either you or your coach recognizes that you may benefit from additional fields of support, your coach will refer you to the appropriate resources.

Your coach will:

• Listen to you openly and actively

• Ask powerful questions

• Reflect/mirror back to you

• Offer different perspectives

• Provide structure

• Assist in setting goals, planning, and strategizing

• Teach you how to hold yourself accountable for what you want to achieve

• Trust you to make your own decisions

• Show up with your best interests at heart

• Tell the truth

• Believe in you and your highest good

Your coach will not:

• Do your work for you* (Because we’re so excited to watch you learn to do the work for yourself, trust yourself, and be accountable to yourself!)

• Judge you or make you feel isolated in your experience or goals

• Take responsibility for yourself or your actions

At Modern Therapy, our team of coaches and therapists work together, learning from one another, sharing skills and insights, and investing time into our own professional development to offer you the most support possible.

The role of a coach and a therapist may be different, but we often see clients who find value in working with both a coach and a therapist simultaneously in their experience here at Modern. Your coach and therapist may collaborate when it’s in your highest interest with your permission, but you will always be a part of that conversation and in the know so you can guide the way you show up in each space.

Coaching and therapy are bi-directional and symbiotic with one another. Coaching focuses on more structured sessions aimed at clarifying action steps that will move you forward toward your specified goals in a niche area of life, health, or career. It thrives on goal-setting, resource sharing, and guidance in areas such as homework or experiments to try between sessions. In a coaching session, you’re learning how to hold yourself accountable for what you want most.

Therapy is focusing on some deeper foundational work that may not have clear goals or action steps as you learn more about yourself and what’s shaped you. As you do this work, it will enable you to bring a more energetic and ready version of yourself to coaching sessions that are tailored to specific pieces of your overall story that’s nurtured in your therapy sessions.

Here are a few ways that people welcome in coaching and therapy:

• Sometimes people begin their personal development journey with a coach, and add in a therapist to work simultaneously

• Sometimes people begin their personal development journey in therapy, and add in a coach to work in a certain area of their life

• Sometimes people begin their personal development journey in therapy, then decide to end their therapeutic journey and begin their coaching journey

• Ultimately, the coaching relationship is about you, the client, taking full responsibility for your actions, health, and life. You enter into coaching with the understanding that you are responsible for creating your own decisions and results. You agree not to hold the coach liable for any outcomes resulting directly or indirectly from the coaching process.

• We see profound results when individuals are open and curious to learning and recognize that no path is straight and growth is never perfectly linear. We ask you to make your coaching sessions a priority in your life and see your coaching relationship as a team that accomplishes more together than either of us could do alone.

• Have fun with this process, and make sure to listen to your heart as well as your head. Pay attention to your intuition and what your “gut” tells you. These responses occur for a reason.

Modern Therapy coaches are dedicated to continuous growth & regularly enroll in further trainings and certification programs in addition to our weekly consultations with licensed therapists & psychologists to offer you the most value possible from our time together.
