Mental Health Coaching Services

Mental Health Coaching is a more specialized niche within over-all Life Coaching. A.J. Mahari has been working in this area of coaching for many years now. Her expertize comes from her own life challenges and experience, as well as some College and University education. A.J. is not a mental health professional, hwoever. A.J. is an excellent, compassionate, and validating listener. She provides her clients with support, information, feedback, well-informed questions, and helps clients to identify goals and strategize to meet those goals. Often for those with any form or type of mental illness, even where recovery is possible, the over-all framework of mental health coaching is one that stresses coping and education about the client’s mental illness and empowering the client to make choices that can produce positive change in their quality of life and ability to cope.

You may benefit from A.J. Mahari’s Mental Health Coaching if you feel out of balance in your emotional and/or relational life. Talking things over with A.J. can help you to clarify what you want and need in your life and what you can do to empower yourself toward identifying, meeting, and accomplishing those goals. Perhaps you aren’t happy in a current relationship and you want to get clarity. Perhaps you have identified some pattern in your relationships that is blocking you from living a more balanced, peaceful, and happy life. Maybe you want to become more interdependent. Many people are involved in relating in ways that are codependent and resultingly very painful and they don’t often realize this. Perhaps you still need to discover more about who you really are.

A.J. Mahari is an advocate for helping others to help and empower themselves by fostering and nurturing the liberation of each client’s authentic inner self. It is important to identify the path of change for each individual that is the way toward choosing and creating the change that they hunger for. It is the change that will further reveal each individual’s own personal path of ever-increasing authenticity. Change is a constant in life. We are always learning, growing, healing, and changing. Developing a personal style of mastery with one’s own change is not only a way to recover, heal, or grow, but it is the sacred path of spiritual change. It is the path upon which each soul seeks to leave its footprint in the ever-shifting sands of authentic self-actualization.

A.J. also works extensively with many clients with mental health challenges. Mental health coaching involves support for those diagnosed with a mental illness and/or their loved ones and actively involves exploring and identifying coping strategies. With an emphasis on the client finding his or her way forward in life through identifying goals, planning appropriate and needed action, and then supporting each client in following through on planned exercises and strategies to attain his or her goals. I support the client’s own determined choice and making of decisions that are the foundation of needed and/or desired change in coping, functioning, and living.

Each individual client I coach determines the pace and style of his or her own coaching process and experience. I offer mental health coaching services that are relevant for people with very different life experiences and mental health needs.

As a life coach I provide a caring, compassionate, safe, confidential, non judgemental, validating and supportive relationship within which clients can feel empowered to explore their present-day needs. I essentially act as a human mirror for my clients. I share with my clients an outside and unbiased perspective as to what I observe in listening to their feelings, experiences, and concerns.
