The role of a mental health coach is to identify the mental issues the client is struggling with. Issues, not illness, and this distinction can be difficult to make in many cases. In today’s day and age, people show signs of depression from their teenage years and unknowingly carry it throughout their lives. All the while was unaware of their potential. This slump in mental health can often be misdiagnosed as mental illness. That which could be treated with thought and behavioral modification end up being subject to medications, which not only deteriorates the mind but also takes a toll on the body.

​

The process of mental health services goes similar to this,

 

• Identify the cause of their distress.

• Recognize negative thought patterns.

• Realize their potential.

• Identify toxic habits and behavioral patterns.

• Hold them accountable.

• Layout realistic milestones of progress.

 

The Goal: 

​

• Place actionable plans in place to break away from the toxic cycles withholding their progress.

• Regain their self-confidence, sense of self-worth and seek a meaningful purpose.

• Rediscover the source of their passions and motivations.

A mental health coach enables you to seek the realization of who you are and instills the desire to find out who you can be if you decide to put in all the effort and work towards achieving your best selves. This involves helping people discard negative self-talk and self-pity and allocate their energy towards progress and positivity, completely changing their lives by assisting them to change their mental outlook on life. Simply by altering their thoughts with the power of their own minds. That is what a mental health coach specializes in
