Coaching
Coaching versus Therapy: If you are struggling with minor issues that do not meet criteria for a psychological disorder, then coaching may be a good option for you. Coaching is not a therapeutic service and works from a different model. Dr. Berry cannot provide coaching to past, current, or future outpatient therapy clients due to ethical boundaries.
Coaches help to guide people that are struggling with an area (or areas) of their lives. They support goal-setting, personal growth, and behavioral change in their clients. They use their experience and expertise to help the client work towards their identified goal.
Dr. Berry provides the following types of coaching (definitions adapted from https://flowcoachinginstitute.com/types-of-coaching/):
- Life Coach: Supporting clients as they make their dreams reality. As a life coach, Dr. Berry helps you recognize the blockages that are delaying your success.
- Parent Coach: Supporting parents as they guide their child through important critical thinking and coping skills, and encourage their child to embrace their uniqueness and creativity. She teaches communication skills, positive discipline techniques, and creative parenting strategies.
- Youth Coach: Helping children and teens to overcome barriers to reaching their potential.

- Executive/Corporate Coach: Supporting busy executives as they reach their career goals and find balance in their lives. Dr. Berry helps business professionals improve their leadership skills, their public speaking skills, and/or creative problem-solving abilities.
