What is the Role of a Christian Mental Health Coach? (How I Help My Clients Achieve Breakthrough and Get Unstuck)

Last month, I talked about the difference between a mental health coach and a counselor, and today, I want to take it a step further. We’re diving into what it really looks like to work with a Christian mental health coach.  As a trauma-informed life coach, my goal is to help my clients grow emotionally, spiritually, and physically. Coaching is all about meeting you where you are, setting goals, and taking real steps toward the life you want. It’s different from counseling—I don’t diagnose or treat things like PTSD or bipolar disorder—but I do help you tackle everyday challenges, whether that's setting boundaries, managing stress, or navigating relationships.  Every client I work with gets a personalized action plan. We also talk through tough stuff—like those moments when you’re frustrated with God—and create space where you can be real, without any judgment.  Sometimes, we touch on past pain, but the focus is always on moving forward. And if we come across areas where more specialized support is needed—like nutrition or therapy—I’ll help you connect with the right professionals.  If this sounds like what you’ve been looking for, I’d love to chat!
