Coaches are trained to support people who maybe experiencing distress and may be able to help prevent those individuals from escalating into a clinical range of symptoms that can take a further toll on their mental health.
Therapists in contrast are trained to support people with clinical disorders and trauma.
As a licensed therapist, supervisor and certified life coach, Deborah Grant-James is expert in utilizing coaching standards and strategies as an additional skill-set to provide an expanded set of behavioral health services that support individuals who present with subclinical baseline symptoms, or have progressed beyond clinical symptoms, returned to baseline functioning and want to continue growing and learning to achieve wellness and peak performance as appropriate.
"As a Life Coach, I have acquired rigorous training, and I am committed to ongoing continuing education in evidence-based models. I am deeply compassionate, caring and committed to providing a safe space for working through difficult emotions. Therefore, as a Therapist-Coach whatever you share with me will remain confidential.
In fact, I actually evolved into coaching as a result of my own process of self-discovery through a very positive and productive coaching experience. Therefore, I am passionate about supporting my clients through the process of their own self-discovery and personal development. As a result, I became motivated to acquire formal training through an ICF (International Coaching Federation) accredited training program that would enable me to also become an effective, Certified Life Coach.
The ICF is one of the most rigorous and renowned professional coaching organizations worldwide. Accredited schools must adhere to standard core competencies that the ICF sets forth such as:
Establishing trust and intimacy
Powerful questioning
Collaborative goal setting
You can expect all of these very important elements to be consistent throughout the course of your coaching process and your experience with me as your Wellness Coach."
