Frequently asked questions
General
Coaches do not diagnose mental health disorders or prescribe medications.
Coaching is a non-clinical client-led relationship where clients have a guide
to exploring their own challenges and create their best plan to self-healing
by co-creating solutions. Coaches help clients identify strengths, build a
plan for attaining goals, pinpoint challenges, and create new habit-forming
skills. Coaches also assist clients with creating intentions and preparing for
psychedelic therapy, as well as providing post-therapy integration.
Coaching is an excellent pairing WITH counseling, getting the best of both
worlds
Finding the right coach starts with an open conversation. Ask yourself: Do they share your values? Are they experienced in areas that matter to you? Do you feel heard and understood during your interactions? Trust and comfort are essential for a successful coaching relationship. If you sense that the connection isn’t right, don’t hesitate to move on. A good coach will prioritize your well-being and may even help you find someone who’s a better fit for your needs.
Many religious and spiritual traditions emphasize healing, transformation, and deepening one's connection with the divine. Psychedelic therapy, when used in a controlled and intentional way, can be seen as a tool to facilitate those very goals. If someone approaches it with prayer, meditation, or a desire to align it with their faith, it can be used as a sacred tool rather than something opposing their beliefs. The Bible, for example, speaks about the renewal of the mind (Romans 12:2), and some might interpret psychedelic therapy as a way to achieve that.
No. Research suggests that certain psychedelics, such as psilocybin (found in mushrooms), Ibogaine, and ayahuasca may actually help people overcome addictions to substances like alcohol, nicotine, and opioids. They inherently have non-addictive nature and do not lead to physical dependence or compulsive use. They do not activate the brain's dopamine-driven rewards system in the same way addictive substances do. Studies have shown that psychedelics like Ibogaine and psilocybin can help break addictive patterns by increasing self-awareness, reducing cravings, and addressing the root psychological causes of addiction.
Some mental health medications can interfere with how psychedelics work in the brain, and vice versa. It is of utmost importance that a person taking medications work with a doctor to make sure a person will be safe while using psychedelics. They may need to titrate off of their medication before their therapy, or get information of possible counteractions or contraindications. People with certain mental health diagnoses are not recommended to utilize psychedelics. Many psychologists and psychiatrists are trained in assisting their patients through this decision making process.
Transformational coaching is ideal for those seeking profound, lasting change in their personal or professional lives. Unlike traditional coaching, which emphasizes goal-setting and accountability, this approach helps you shift your mindset, overcome limiting beliefs, and embrace a new way of being. You might consider transformational coaching if you feel stuck in life, struggle with self-doubt or fear of failure, seek personal growth, or are navigating major transitions like divorce or retirement. It’s also perfect for building emotional resilience, overcoming anxiety, and discovering a deeper sense of purpose and meaning.
