Crossroads Christian Life Coaching - A Nationwide Service

Crossroads Christian Life Coaching is a new service. Life Coaching is for people who are not looking for therapy or healing, but rather guidance and support .  A life coach might be used when you want to change your direction in life, embark on a new career, change your lifestyle to better reflect your values, search for a mate, adopt a child, write a book, start a ministry or begin working in one, develop a talent, grow spiritually, discover and utilize your gifts, or better understand your relationship with God.  The possibilities are endless - the primary emphasis is on growth - as an individual, as a spiritual being, as a child of God.

Because life coaching is not therapy, it is not regulated in the same way that mental health services are.  Life coaching is most frequently done by phone and can be offered in any geographical area.  It is not covered by insurance but is generally not as expensive as therapy. The focus of the session is entirely upon the client's desires and needs.  A coach will guide, support, assist with focus, and offer helpful activities, but does not "fix" a client.  The client is not diagnosed or analyzed; the emphasis is on identifying and developing the client's strengths. A helpful analogy can be taken from sports.  A sports doctor will "fix" or heal an athlete's body; the athlete's coach helps the athlete maximize performance and potential while avoiding injury. The client defines his goals (sometimes with the help of the coach) and the coach helps the client achieve those goals. An agreed upon number and schedule of sessions is paid for in advance.
