Unlock your potential
Each coaching program is tailored to the unique situation of each client, but Coach Ellender does follow a structure that ensures action- and solution-oriented experiences for all clients.
​
Step 1 – Phone consultation to ensure solid match of goals and services
Step 2 – Initial session: Clarify goals & evaluate client’s strengths and support system(s)
Step 3 – Discuss historical trauma timeline to assess symptoms, behavioral patterns, and unhealthy coping
Step 4 – Experiential exercises (mindfulness, creative change mindset, etc) and educational concepts establish practiced formula for achieving goals
Step 5 – Post-coaching game plan and recommendations: Continuing education, resourcing, new coping tools, etc
​
You will accomplish major exploration, processing, and healing in a short amount of time, allowing you to get to the root of problems quickly.
​
*Note: For some issues and goals, coaching intensives can offer maximal therapeutic progress when paired with ongoing (weekly or monthly) traditional sessions with your psychotherapist or life coach.
