Dr. Martinez offers many options for Life Coaching. Whether you need one session to set structured goals and problem-solve, or you prefer a number of sessions spread out for continual work on various goals and issues, there is a plan for you. This is your chance to make the progress you have been hoping for.
Of important note: Life Coaching can be engaged in, regardless of geographic location. However, mental health issues in the sense of individual therapy can not be part of this program. This is due to legalities, ethics laws, licensing, and basic safety guidelines. Mental health therapy can only partake with individuals within our own state. Life Coaching is a different endeavor. Of additional note, "Life Coaching," is not covered by insurance, as it is not a "medical" treatment, it is something that is beneficial, and that individuals engage in for personal development, but would fall under a category of "choice," by insurers.
