We also take credit cards. Again, the initial consultation is free.

With what age ranges do you work?
Although you specialize specifically in women's issues, will you work with a male or transgender client?
What modalities do you use in your client work?
I use a combination of Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy (CBT), Motivational Interviewing (MI), and Solution-Focused (SF) modalities. I’ll try to provide a summary of what all that therapy mumbo-jumbo means!
CBT focuses on challenging and changing cognitive distortions and behaviors, improving emotional regulation, and developing personal coping strategies targeting current problems.
MI is a directive, client-centered counseling style for eliciting behavior change by helping clients to explore and resolve ambivalence.
SF therapy sessions typically focus on the present and future and the past only to the degree necessary for communicating empathy and accurate understanding of the client’s concerns.
I will listen to your desires for what you want out of therapy and use the most appropriate treatment modalities to help you get to where you want to be in life.

What is the difference between Counseling and Coaching?
A counselor (or therapist) has a minimum of a master’s degree, and a licensed counselor has a minimum of two years experience post-graduate program. A coach typically has some training on specific topics and likely some “lived experience,” but they are not licensed. The coaching industry is not regulated, so anyone can claim to be a coach.
A coach will typically work with someone for shorter periods of time, whereas a counselor will usually work with someone for more extended periods. Coaches are very future-oriented and outcomes-based, whereas counselors focus on the past and resolve and heal past traumas.
What sets IRIS Wellness Consultants apart is that I utilize both counseling and a coaching approach. I will work with you to set and achieve your goals, overcome personal challenges, and improve your overall wellness. I do this with the expertise of a counseling background, which helps me understand that your past can cause you to have blockages that limit beliefs, causing you to be “stuck.” I help you resolve those beliefs and heal while maintaining the future goal of being the best version of yourself!!
