Interested?I'm Brian Coons- It's nice to meet you.
I grew up and lived most of my life in Oregon. I am a married father of 4 grown children. I've spent over 20 years in the business world in retail management and marketing. Because life doesn't come with a script, circumstances can change unexpectedly. Sometimes, that's welcomed, sometimes it's painful. It can be both. My life script changed several years ago, and even though it was painful, it was also fruitful, bringing about the best changes in my life.
Today, I have the honor of connecting with and helping people. As a team, we will unlock areas of your life where you feel stuck and want to learn and build skills to manage life in healthier ways. We'll define where you are, understand why and what you don't like about it, remove barriers, and move to where you want to be.
Disclaimer: Mental Health/Mending Coaching is not licensed psychotherapy or counseling and is not designed to diagnose or treat serious mental health conditions. Coaching follows the general guidelines and principles found within the discipline of pastoral care and seeks to identify goals, develop new tools and skills, and overcome roadblocks (mental, behavioral, emotional, or environmental) to individual thriving. Coaching generally follows a "brief therapy" model designed to identify where you are at in life, what you don't like about it, and provide support as you work toward your goals.
