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.
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.
Life coaching with our therapists in Colorado Springs, CO is conducted both in person and virtually via online therapy. We encourage you to choose the option that works best for you.
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 Colorado Springs therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.
As it turns out, almost every hero has had a life coach at some point. Yoda, Gandalf, Aslan- all shared their wisdom to young adventurers who then brought a quest into fruition. Unfortunately (or fortunately?) you won’t find centuries old wizard guys or little old green people in your journey towards a happier you, but that doesn’t mean you are alone in the journey either! Colorado Springs Thriveworks’ coaches are professionally trained to help you learn to slay your own dragon- whatever it may be. Reach out today to get started.
Life coaching is a new method meant to get the most out of life, and it differs slightly than counseling. The key difference between counseling and coaching is that counseling is meant to heal whereas life coaching is meant to conquer. A good analogy is athletics: when a runner pulls her hamstring, she rests, applies ice, and maybe goes to physical therapy. This is akin to counseling; when someone’s heart and mind have been scarred or stretched to maximum capacity for various reason, it could cause further damage to make a big change in their life.
Some dilemmas that may call for life coaching are:

We are the calm, professional voice that can help you distinguish between the angel and devil on your shoulders. There are times everyone needs a little relationship advice, career counseling or relationship support.
Life happens, but you should still have the confidence and self-awareness to pursue your dreams and live happily. Whether struggling with a deployment, new adoption or newborn, a recent breakup or maybe a new blossoming relationship, or preparing for a major career jump, Thriveworks Colorado Springs can be there to guide you through all of life’s stormy days by showing you:
