Approach to Counseling & Coaching
While various approaches and models are used, the basis of "Mastering ME" Coaching revolves around the tenets of:
- Humanistic and Existential Models: (https://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/books/NBK64939/ ).
- Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Model (https://www.mayoclinic.org/tes...) - Helps you discover the patterns between Events, Thoughts and Feelings, and Behaviors. Know better, do better!
- Strengths-Based Approach- We make sure that the "Problem" is not the only thing being pulled into focus. Truth is, there are many positives and strengths within us all, even at our lowest, even if we cannot see them. That's part of the value of getting help- perspective!
- Human Needs Models (Various)- We can help you frame and understand every behavior as an attempt to meet an underlying human, emotional need. This will help with validation and forgiveness (self and others), and we can begin to explore healthier ways to meet the identified need.
- Life-Balance Model- We will help you identify the areas of your life that are important to you, and then a way to assess the ever-challenging balancing act of them all!
- Values-Based Model- Our values drive all that we think about, all that stirs up emotions in us, and all that drives us into action. Do you know you values? Do you know how to create a value-based life that infuses YOUR core values into all that you do? We can help you create a more intentional, values-based life! (Helps with the Life-Balance too!)
- Gottman Methodology- For all relationship-based coaching or counsel.
- Modified 12-Step Programming- For substance/addiction-based issues.
