Philosophical Coaching

Never heard of Philosophical Coaching? Think of it as having your own personal philosopher to help you figure out life.

Like a cross between a life coach, a counselor, and Socrates, (if Socrates were a down-to-earth mom with a Ph.D.).

More specifically, Philosophical Coaching uses critical inquiry and a deep knowledge of wisdom from thousands of years of human thought to help you understand your own patterns of thinking and live a more self-aware and flourishing life.

Here are some examples of the things I can help you with:

• Examine hidden beliefs that may be holding you back

• Articulate your values and priorities

• Make difficult decisions

• Work through moral dilemmas

• Explore questions of meaning and purpose

• Navigate shifts in identity and self-image

• Figure out your spiritual beliefs

• Define and explore your personal life philosophy

Depending on your desires and inclinations, I will sometimes suggest readings that we then discuss and apply to your situation. I also offer specialized support to new mothers.

In Individual Philosophical coaching, you and I have a direct conversation about whatever you would like to discuss philosophically. Individual coaching sessions may be conducted by phone, video chat, or in person (in Portland, OR). See my Rates and Frequently Asked Questions to learn more. I also offer Practical Philosophy Workshops.

To see if Philosophical Coaching with me is a good fit for you, take my assessment.
