Life Coaching

In addition to therapy services, Open Space Madison also offers life coaching, which is a great choice if you’re not living in Wisconsin and would like to work with me, or if you are simply looking for coaching instead of therapy. I offer in-person or virtual life coach sessions in Madison, WI, as well virtual sessions anywhere in the country.

Before we dive into what life coaching looks like, I’d first like to define the difference between therapy and life coaching …

Coaching focuses on who you are now and how you can be best supported in moving forward. In a coaching session, it isn’t expected to be asked family origin questions, or be asked to investigate your past or trauma. The past may be a reference point but not the place we spend the majority of your sessions. Your personal goals are the main focal points. I will not tell you what to do, rather I will act as a sounding board. Open Space Madison takes a custom approach with the overlap of being strength based, inspirational and motivational. 
Your coaching sessions are co-designed to enhance your mental clarity and improve work/life balance. Coaching clients report feeling calmer, happier and more energized. Your coaching work strives to reduce your stress and increase your resilience. It also promotes self-awareness and introspection. You will be encouraged to be accountable and action oriented. Two of my intentions in our work together is to inspire a positive mindset and increase motivation. This is accomplished by first understanding what success looks like for you.

What to Expect at Your First Open Space Madison Life Coaching Session

We’ll spend some time talking, so I can gain a deeper understanding of who you are and how I can help. Together, we’ll create a specific plan for how your coaching sessions can assist with your life goals. At each subsequent session we’ll check in about your life goals to see where you’re at, and if we need to make any adjustments with your coaching. Questions are always encouraged, and I’m happy to provide educational materials and referrals when appropriate. As your life coach, my goal is to give you usable tools that make it easier for you to achieve your goals outside of our sessions together — I feel education is a big part of that.

Session Cost: $200 hr., self pay
