Psychotherapy and Coaching
| PSYCHOTHERAPY is a relationship between two or more people. The PSYCHOLOGIST is a highly trained partner, a consistent supporter who really listens and works to meet clients’ goals and needs. The relationship allows for a comprehensive understanding of problems with a holistic view, accurate goal setting and perseverance, providing expanded resources and accountability. CLIENTS are adjusting to life circumstances, ranging from pain, injury or disease to marriage and new careers, that are overwhelming, baffling, or that become obstacles on their life paths. Clients look for assistance coping or amending thoughts, behaviors and emotions for greater comfort and success, and for restoring mental and physical well-being. |
| COACHING is also a relationship. The COACH is a highly trained partner, a consultant, a consistent supporter. He/she really listens and wants more for you than you want for yourself and looks for growth in all areas of your life. The CLIENTS, already successful and resourceful, desire to start or expand their careers, get more from their work and personal relationships, develop a firmer personal foundation, or explore who and what they really want to be. The relationship allows for good goal-setting, persistence, expanded resources, and accountability for making the leaps forward. Like Psychotherapy, Coaching usually starts with a presenting issue and proceeds to address the whole person. Coaching is not therapy or teaching, nor is it preaching, badgering or catering. It helps define outcomes and increase awareness. When you define what you really know you want, the path to getting it unfolds for you. Dr. Hernandez has advanced coaching training with CoachU (www.coachu.com) and Erickson University (www.erickson.edu). |
