What is a Life Coach

A life coach is a trained professional, dedicated to helping others achieve in their personal lives. Life coaches help you narrow down what may be holding you back from achieving your goals, while also helping you build helpful strategies. Have you ever felt “stuck?” A life coach can help. Have you ever felt like you were going in circles with no results? A life coach can help with that. Are you struggling to get motivated and stay focused on your goals? Well, a life coach can help with that too. A life coach can help you stay accountable, give you feedback, help you gain clarity, confidence, and more. Also, life coaches ARE NOT therapists. A life coach has to be certified to be able to coach someone, but a therapist has to have a degree and follow state board codes. If a person is having severe mood swings, thoughts of hurting themselves or someone else, feelings of loneliness or severe sadness, it is best to consult with a therapist and not a life coach.
