You understand why you do what you do.
You just can't seem to stop doing it.
If you've been doing the inner work โ reading the books, listening to the podcasts, maybe even doing traditional therapy โ and you can see your patterns clearly but still feel stuck inside them, you're not alone. And you're not doing anything wrong.
You don't need more insight. You need support with forward movement.
That's what the next eight weeks are designed to do.
Most people who find this program are in one of two places.
See if either of these sounds familiar.
You've never tried therapy or coaching before. You've thought about it. Maybe for years. But something โ the cost, the time, the stigma, the "is this really bad enough?" question โ has kept you on the outside of it. You don't know what the first session would actually be like, and the not-knowing has been enough to keep you where you are.
Or โ you've done traditional therapy, and it helped. You understand yourself. You can articulate the patterns. You know the childhood wound, the relational template, the protective mechanism. And yet the doing something different part has never quite caught up with the understanding. You're tired of being the most self-aware stuck person you know.
That's what this is.
Eight sessions. One-on-one. With a licensed therapist trained in coaching psychology.
- Not group sessions
- Not self-guided
- Not a workbook with video modules
Eight real conversations with a real person whose full-time clinical license gives them the range of a therapist and whose coaching certification gives them the structure of an action-oriented guide.
Think of it as sampling the sorbet.
There's a reason most people hesitate before starting coaching or therapy. It's not that they don't want the support. It's that signing up for an open-ended, indefinite relationship with a stranger โ at $200+ an hour โ feels like a lot to commit to before you know if the flavor is even right for you.
So we built something different.
Eight sessions. A defined timeline. A specific framework. A fixed cost. And a clear end point where you can decide, with full information, whether to continue.
You'll know after two or three sessions whether this is the person you want to keep working with. You'll know after eight whether therapy-informed coaching is the modality that actually moves the needle for you.
Imagine looking back in three months and realizing that this was the turning point โ the moment you stopped spinning and started building. โ Dr. Lisa Marie Bobby Founder, Growing Self
Here's how the eight sessions unfold.
Your coach isn't winging it. Every session has a place in a defined framework โ one that moves you from clarity to self-awareness to action to integration, in the order those things need to happen for change to actually stick.
Clarity & Self-Awareness
You'll leave these sessions knowing exactly what you're working on โ not in vague terms, but in the kind of specific language that makes the rest of the work possible. This is where most people realize they've been trying to solve the wrong problem.
Pattern Recognition
You can see the pattern now. Here's where you understand what's maintaining it โ the specific reinforcers, the environmental triggers, the protective function it's still serving. This is where insight deepens into leverage.
Strategy & Skill-Building
This is where the doing starts. You'll work on specific, concrete shifts in how you show up โ in one relationship, one habit, one decision-making process at a time. Small, real, sustainable.
Integration & Forward Motion
How do you carry this forward when the sessions end? This is where the work gets embedded into your actual life โ not as something you had to remember to do, but as something that's become part of how you operate.
Close & Continuation
A real ending. A look at what's changed. And โ if you want to keep going โ a personalized plan for continuing the work, either with your coach (many clients choose to continue) or with one of our other certified coaches in an area of deeper specialization.
Licensed therapists who are also certified coaches? They are the unicorns. The best of the best. But only 3% of therapists have these coaching competencies. When you work with one of ours, you're not just getting someone with the emotional intelligence of a therapist. You're getting someone with the action-orientation of a trained coach. That combination is rare. At $49 a session, it's also practically unheard of.
What you'd typically pay, and what you're actually paying.
The Typical Rate
Your Rate
Why can we offer this? Because your coach is in the final practicum phase of our NBCC-accredited coach training program. They are fully licensed clinicians โ every single one. They've already completed the 30-hour coursework. Now they're completing the supervised coaching hours required for their Board Certified Coach credential, under direct mentorship from Growing Self.
You get expert-caliber work at a fraction of expert pricing. They get the supervised practicum experience their credential requires. It's the rare thing that's genuinely good for everyone.
Hear it from the people who did it.
Real eight-week arcs, in their words.
"I'd been in therapy for six years. I understood myself better than anyone I knew. What I didn't understand was why understanding wasn't enough. This was the first eight weeks where the gap between knowing and doing actually closed."
"I was in the middle of a divorce I didn't want. I couldn't see past the next week. The structure of knowing I had eight sessions on the calendar, with someone who knew what she was doing โ that alone was something to hold on to. By week six, I was planning a life I actually wanted."
"I had tried therapy twice before and it hadn't clicked. This was different. The coaching lens โ the forward-motion part of it โ was what I hadn't known to ask for. I wish I'd found it five years ago."
Is this the right fit?
A clear-eyed look at who this is โ and isn't โ for.
This is for you if:
- You've done inner work โ therapy, self-study, significant reflection โ and you're ready to translate that work into action.
- You want structure. You want a framework. You want to know what's happening in each session and where the arc is going.
- You're looking for a defined, bounded experience rather than an indefinite open-ended relationship.
- You're drawn to the idea of working with a fully licensed clinician who also brings a coaching lens โ the emotional depth of therapy plus the forward motion of coaching.
- You're ready to do eight weeks of real work โ not a magic pill, but a structured, supported stretch.
This isn't for you if:
- You're in active mental health crisis or need clinical treatment for a diagnosable condition. Your coach can refer you to therapy resources if that becomes clear during your work together, but this program isn't designed for clinical mental health treatment.
- You're looking for couples counseling โ this is individual work only.
- You want a very specialized focus (heartbreak recovery, career transitions with deep industry expertise, premarital counseling). We have separate programs and specialist coaches for those.
I built this for people like you.
Over twenty-plus years of practice, I've watched a pattern repeat itself hundreds of times.
Someone comes in โ thoughtful, self-aware, often already well-read on the psychology of their own situation. They're not struggling with a mental health diagnosis. They're struggling with a life problem: a transition, a decision, a loss of direction, a sense that something isn't quite working that they can't fully articulate.
You deserve a therapy-informed approach that can meet the emotional complexity of your situation and structured, strategic, evidence-based coaching that gives you a clear path forward.
That combination โ the psychological depth of clinical training plus the action-orientation of a trained coach โ is genuinely more effective than either one alone. I've seen it produce change in eight weeks that would have taken a year of talk therapy. I've seen it give people their lives back in ways I couldn't have predicted.
And I've built this program so you can access that work at a price point that removes the usual barrier to trying it.
My coaches are the real deal. Every one of them is a fully licensed clinician โ psychologists, LMFTs, LCSWs, LPCs โ who has completed the coursework for their Board Certified Coach credential through my NBCC-accredited training program. They are not students. They are experienced clinicians expanding their practice.
Your job isn't to figure out if you deserve this. Your job is to say yes.

If you decide in your first session that this isn't the right fit, we'll refund you in full. You're not locked in. You're exploring.
This is a real deadline. Here's why.
Our cohorts open five times a year, and each coach takes just five clients. That's not marketing scarcity โ it's the structural reality of how a cohort-based practicum works. Once the coaches are matched with their five clients each, we close enrollment for this cycle.
The May 4 cohort is filling now.
A limited number of spots remain for the May 4 cohort.
If you miss this one, the next cohort starts in mid-July. But you'll be eight weeks further down the same road you're on now.

Therapy is designed primarily to help you understand yourself and heal from the past. Coaching is designed primarily to help you take action and build forward. Because your coach is a licensed therapist and a coach-in-training, they can hold both โ the emotional depth of therapy and the forward motion of coaching. If clinical mental health treatment becomes what you need, they'll tell you directly and refer you. This program is designed for people working on life problems, not clinical conditions.
You can request a different coach for any reason, until May 11 โ no questions asked. We'd rather match you with someone who feels right than lose you to a mismatch we could have fixed.
You'll schedule your sessions directly with your coach, at times that work for you both. Evenings and weekends are widely available. Sessions are virtual.
Life happens. Sessions can be rescheduled within the eight-week cohort window (May 4 โ June 26). If you need to miss a session entirely, you can make it up in the following cohort at no additional cost.
No โ this is coaching, not therapy, and coaching is not typically insurance-eligible. That said, at $49 per session, many people find the out-of-pocket cost lower than their therapy copay.
You'll leave Session 8 with a personalized continuation plan. Many clients choose to continue working with their coach in a private-practice capacity after the program ends โ often at a preferred rate for program graduates. Others move into one of our specialized programs (heartbreak recovery, relationship coaching, career coaching). Some complete the eight weeks and feel they have what they need. All of those outcomes are wins.
We handle matching based on what you share in your post-enrollment intake. Our coaches are all fully licensed clinicians who've completed the coursework for their Board Certified Coach credential โ you're in good hands with any of them. If the match doesn't feel right in Session 1, you can request a different coach at no cost.
If you decide within 48 hours of your first session that this isn't the right fit, we'll refund you in full. After that point, we'll refund any unused sessions if you're referred out of the program or choose to discontinue.
There's a version of your life eight weeks from now that's lighter, clearer, and moving forward.
You can keep thinking about it. Or you can start.
