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 Newark, NJ 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 Newark therapists work with clients to create goals and potential timelines for treatment.

How Can Life Coaching Help?

Our coaches will use a variety of different methods and techniques to help you figure out what your talents are, what areas in life you feel like are lacking, and help you move up your career latter.

Life coaches will work with you to figure out where your values align and make a strategy for how to achieve them. They can also help you make hard decisions like whether moving on from your relationship would be the most beneficial or teach you the tools for better communication.

A life coach can also work with you to better understand what your career goals are and needs as an employee. Maybe you want to switch to a whole new field or maybe you just need help finding a company that better aligns with your views.

Your life coach will be able to help you weigh the pros and cons of each scenario and offer skills on how to problem-solve. They can help you make tough decisions like this while also taking into account your mental wellbeing.

Life Coaching: What to Expect 

Life coaches will have you rate different areas of your life such as career, finances, love, and personal leisure on a scale from 1 to 10 to get you thinking about where you might need some assistance. What career would you choose? If money was not a factor, where would you vacation and for how long? What would you want in a dream home? These types of “miracle questions” get us thinking and moving in the right direction

Life coaches work with people to find the issues that stop them from moving forward and pursuing their dreams. They can equip you with the tools, skills, and knowledge to turn your dreams into reality. In addition, they will be your biggest motivators, help you stay accountable, and push you in the right direction.

Talisha Harrison helped me by giving me the tools to help me navigate some difficult relationships. I also appreciate how kind, sensitive, and empathetic she was as I have been grieving a recent loss of a parent. I have also been recovering from a serious medical condition. Should I feel the need to seek counseling in the future, I would not hesitate to return to counseling with Talisha.

So far it's OK. I say ok because there is a big age difference between the therapist and myself. Maybe by 25yrs or so.

My therapist is Lesley Petersen and I have been a patient of hers for about four months now. She has been helping me through a stressful situation that I have been going through. I would recommend her because she is easy to talk to and non-judgmental.
