Amanda is fantastic! Her life coaching has been top-notch and helpful individually and with my wife. She allows space for you to do the important inner work and offers sound + practical advice.
Nicole helps me connect to my inner self and emotions in a way that once felt impossible! Olivia is also a nurturing presence who has helped through connecting with the parts of me I feel shame around. They both will challenge you in a way that still feels validating.
It’s easy to meet with Melody for coaching. My progress is now evident to me, and with both Amanda and Melody on my side, I feel I can accomplish many things (and have!).
Designed for fast, intensive support for:
Without the limitations of traditional medical models, you get to keep your information. You retain everything you have said and shared, even after completing coaching. This way, you can always get that feedback and support without having to try to remember what your coach said. In this model, you get to be free, authentic, and present without worrying about having to retain all the information in a one-hour session weekly.
What is different about this intensive coaching model rather than therapy?
Therapy vs this intensive coaching model differs significantly. Typical therapy is dictated by insurance CPT codes, has time limits, limits of what is covered and therapists are limited in what they are able to do in sessions (often dictated by insurance coverage). Typical therapy aligns more strongly with the medical model or managed care rather than the healing integrated approach it was before it was medicalized.
This intensive coaching model goes back to what professional support looked like before it became managed. Therapy sessions are usually limited to 55 minutes, and you only have access to your therapist during that time; sessions are usually weekly or every other week over the course of months or years. Rather than daily access to your coach, who can offer you same-day support. I like to think of this as more of a coach on a retainer for a short period of time vs. a therapist who sees you ongoing for a long period of time. We are focused on what your day-to-day looks like and ways to support and apply what you are working on to reach your goals much quicker!
This model is asynchronous – which means it is not an instant or happening at the same time (like stereotypical therapy). Rather this model allows you to send a live reaction(s) to your life to your coach, and they will provide support in 24 hours rather than waiting until your next session, which is often a week or more away. This asynchronous model has been particularly useful for clients who have high emotional reactivity or feel unsafe in the relationship; therefore, having the asynchronous approach offers a safer alternative. Additionally, this model has been helpful for relationships in different time zones or for those with schedules that have trouble booking consistent hours that therapy needs. The advantage of this approach is that it allows you to work around your busy life, rather than being constrained by the availability of the coach. This approach also allows the coach to respond to your needs more quickly.
Why does this format work?
This method works because it is flexible and designed to get real results faster and on your schedule. You don’t have to go to a session with your therapist once a week when you can talk to them a few times a week. You can talk to your coach every day and get feedback. The medical model relies on live and active sessions, either in person or virtually – text is not typically a part of the therapeutic model. Messages (text, email, or voice) play a crucial role in this model, enabling you to have your coach readily available on a daily basis. No need to continue to make lists or remember what you need to share at therapy – you get to send a text, email, or voice memo directly to your coach for them to provide your advice, feedback, observations, or suggestions in under 24 hours.
We have many people who choose this model for its effectiveness in personal or relational crises where they want more than a weekly session can give. Through this model, clients share that they are able to apply and integrate skills and suggestions immediately with the daily support. Some clients will utilize this model for a short amount of time (a couple of months) to help restore and regulate the system or relationship they are in, then transition to less frequent support.
What does the commitment look like?
The commitment is made month-to-month. You pick your package, get matched with a coach, and create your plan. Your commitment and results will depend on how much effort you put into coaching and how you apply what you learn.
If you wish to discontinue your package or transition to a different program or model, you would need to email your coach 10 days in advance of your monthly renewal. You pick the frequency and package; we guide you to your goals.
How much do I get?
Depending on the package you select, you get a certain amount of access. Each plan offers more frequency and flexibility than traditional therapy. These packages also offer varying degrees of resources, homework, frequent messages (text or audio) with a coach (daily or 3 times a week), live text sessions, and exercises.
How much does this cost?
Cost ranges by package and by which level coach you choose. Please verify our costs to pick the right package and coach for you. If you are not sure which package is best for you, please do not hesitate to work with our administrative team.
Is this program covered by insurance?
No. This model is not covered by insurance; therefore, all costs will be out of pocket. Insurance limits the type of services offered and does not include texting, emails, or voice memos. If you want to utilize your insurance, please look at our clinical services so we can match you to a therapist.
How do the coaches differ?
Each coach is different based on what vibe they offer. Beyond that, our clients can choose between our Senior Coaches and our Associate Coaches. Our senior coaches have been practicing longer. They are all licensed therapists as well, and they have been practicing in the field for longer. Our associate coaches have all completed their master’s; however, they have been practicing in the field for less time than our Senior Coaches.
Is there a daily time limit?
The time limit really depends on the type of package you choose. Each package specifies the daily time range during which the coach is available for you. Regardless, you are able to send messages to your coach at any point and they will respond according to the timeline and frequency of the package you have selected.
What if I want to do coaching with multiple people?
Awesome, that is a wonderful use of this model! This asynchronous model allows for you to work with other people in your relational struggle regardless of time zone, type, and level of conflict. We work with all types of consenting relationships, whether this is with a partner(s), parent, family member, friend, sibling, or colleague – we are here for it all and can work with you and others seamlessly with this model.
No more coordinating complicated schedules or trying to justify needing support for whatever relationship you want to focus on. Your coach and this process are always right at your finger tips when you are ready.
Do I need to have another person to participate?
No! You can do coaching individually, with another person, or with multiple people. This model is here to adapt to your needs and goals – for some that are individual, and for others that includes more than one person. We have found it particularly helpful with other people, and goals often involve developing relationships with others even if they are not actively participating. We have clients who use this package to help start dating, further self-reflection, and build self-esteem – all on their schedule with only their coach.
What models do you use?
We are all trained in the PLISSIT model (for sex therapy/coaching), the Inner Aspects Model (inner parts work and internal narratives), Dialectical Behavioral Therapy (skills-based tools to help manage emotions and develop social skills), Nonviolent Communication (develop compassionate communication skills to advocate for yourself and others more effectively), and many more! Each of these models allows us to have the foundation to tackle any of the issues you are coming to us with and to help you in whatever relationship(s) you are looking to improve – including the one with yourself! If you want to learn more about any of these models, please feel free to ask our team.
