Portland, US

Speaks English

Hi! I'm Liz. I also operate under the name Kintsura Coaching. I started coaching 4 years ago after having battled through (and successfully managed) many mental health challenges myself: Namely - Generalized Anxiety Disorder, Depression, Depersonalization, as well as some transformative (yet also some scary) meditation experiences.

I have over 2000 hours of 1:1 and group coaching. I first trained as a coach through Healthy Gamer and maintain a certification through HG Institute. I then have been contracted with them for four years! I have also completed my NBC-HWC certification course through Headspace and will be sitting for the board exam this fall!

Please feel free to schedule a free consultation meeting with me to see if we are a good fit! I look forward to supporting you.

Mental Health Coach | Therapist at Heart | Forensic Psychology Nerd These days, I work as a Mental Health Coach, supporting adults in navigating stress, anxiety, grief, and the wild ride of being human — with plenty of empathy and humor, and sometimes a curse word or two [I'm actively working on reigning that in!] Before coaching, armed with a Masters Degree in Clinical Counseling Psychology, I spent nearly a decade deep in the world of forensic psychology, doing assessments and treatment planning for incarcerated individuals — powerful, eye-opening work that shaped my understanding of resilience and systemic challenges. My passion for whole-person wellbeing also led me to a holistic "food as medicine" culinary program, and several years in restaurant management, where I deepened my understanding of food as nourishment, creativity, and connection. I’m always looking at the bigger picture of what helps people feel more like themselves.

For the past twenty years, I've dedicated myself to supporting college students. My experience at Stanford University, working with students worldwide, opened my eyes to the unique challenges they face. The pressure to excel, the cultural adjustments, and the constant comparison game—I saw how these factors impact their mental well-being. Witnessing this ignited a passion within me to make a difference. My experiences and the stories of hundreds of students I've worked with fueled my desire to support students and their families. As a dedicated Certified Mental Health Coach, I specialize in guiding students through the intricate journey of higher education, starting as early as their freshman year. I provide personalized guidance to address individual needs, ensuring a holistic approach to academic and personal growth. As the host of the "College Minds" podcast, I provide a safe space for students to explore mental health topics and promote healthy coping strategies.

Certified Mental Health Coach-You Complete You Coaching Services

1 year of experience | $0 - $110 per session

Wilmington, US

Speaks English

Hi! I'm Lin, and I was a seeker too: feeling lost and out of place, looking for answers and comfort outside of myself. Until a coach challenged me to meet myself and find everything I've ever needed inside of me. And now, as a Certified Mental Health Coach (CMHC), and founder of You Complete You Coaching Services, it's my pleasure to offer 1:1 coaching sessions: a safe, non-judgmental space where you can feel seen, heard, and supported.

My coaching journey was born out of the realization that people who are usually seen as strong, especially people in helping professions, leaders, caregivers, and even eldest siblings often work toward the greatest good of others, while neglecting their own wellbeing. I became a coach to act as a bridge between helpers and the support they need, to assist them with curating rituals, support systems, and restorative practices, so they can invest in their wellbeing and avoid burnout.

If you're a coach, counselor, teacher, parent, or have ever felt the pressures of being "the strong one," I'm the sounding board, healing, and thinking partner who will understand your journey and help you chart the way forward. Regardless of your walk of life, I can help you:

*Explore practices, perspectives, and habits that build emotional resilience

*Implement tools that help you manage difficult emotions, navigate relationships, and maintain connection.

*Navigate the neurodivergent experience and intentionally build supports to help you plan for how your experience impacts your life.

*Balance parenting and caregiving without losing yourself in the process.

*Explore, discover, and create meaning and purpose in your life.

*Create actionable steps for reaching your goals and sustaining your growth.

You may be wondering if you're up to this, all this seemingly hard-work, but don't worry! You'll be surprised at the ease you'll feel when you listen to the parts of yourself you may have been overlooking. Take your time, speak your truths, trust yourself, and the process.

Wholeness and completeness are inside of you and I'll shine a light on the strongest and very best parts of you that are eager to come to the surface. Hope to hear from you soon!

"Well-being is realized by small steps, but is no small thing." - Zeno

Many of us are harder on ourselves than we would ever be on someone we love. I know because I have been my own worst enemy and become my own best friend.

That experience shaped both my life and my approach to coaching. It taught me that meaningful change is possible, that we are often far more capable than we realize, and that none of us are meant to navigate life alone.

From deep conversations about life’s biggest questions to the day-to-day challenges we all face, I have a genuine passion for helping people with anything and everything.

Whatever you’re dealing with, whatever you’re going through, and whatever you hope to achieve, whether it feels life-changing or seemingly small, I’m here to support you.

As human beings, we are wired for connection, yet our world often leaves us feeling isolated and disconnected. We need one another. We grow through relationships, support, and shared experiences.

My passion for coaching is deeply personal. I grew up navigating the challenges of divorced parents, abuse, and struggles that followed me from childhood into adulthood. I experienced depression, ADHD, suicidal thoughts, shame, emotional pain, destructive habits, and periods of feeling lost, disconnected, and uncertain about who I was.

Throughout those experiences, I found myself continually drawn to deeper questions. What gives life meaning? What is my purpose? How do we become the people we want to be? How do we experience peace with our past while creating a better future? My search for answers led me to philosophy, psychology, personal growth, mindfulness, and ultimately coaching.

Over time, I learned how to face difficult emotions rather than run from them. I worked through childhood wounds, challenged a harsh inner critic, rebuilt relationships, developed healthier habits, and discovered a sense of stability and peace that I never thought possible. My answers continue to evolve, but the journey taught me something important: meaningful change is possible.

Today, I bring both professional training and lived experience to my coaching. I know what it’s like to struggle, to feel stuck, to question yourself, and to wonder whether things can get better. I also know what it’s like to grow through those experiences and discover strengths you never knew you had.

My goal is not to tell you how to live your life. My goal is to walk alongside you, help you uncover your own wisdom, and support you in creating a life that feels more aligned with your values, goals, and wellbeing.

(Coaching is a collaborative process that supports personal growth and wellbeing. Coaching is not therapy, counseling, medical care, or crisis intervention, and does not diagnose or treat mental health conditions.)

My journey to becoming a Mental Health Coach wasn't a straight line, it was shaped by life.

I know what it feels like to have life take unexpected turns, to rebuild after difficult seasons, to question what's next, and to discover that sometimes the person you're becoming requires you to make different choices than the person you've always been.

My own journey has required resilience, courage, boundaries, self-reflection, and the willingness to do the work necessary to move forward. I've navigated major life transitions, returned to school later in life, changed career directions, overcome personal challenges, and learned that starting again doesn't mean starting from nothing. We carry everything we've learned with us.

Today, I bring those experiences together with professional training as a Certified Mental Health Coach, trauma-informed coaching education, Mental Health First Aid training, mental health advocacy, group facilitation experience, and years of professional experience supporting people through challenging situations.

But credentials alone aren't what shape the way I coach.

I believe people deserve a space where they can be heard without being judged, rushed, or told what they should do with their lives. My role isn't to hand you my answers. It's to listen, ask meaningful questions, help you recognize your strengths and patterns, and walk alongside you as you determine what moving forward looks like for you.

I especially enjoy working with women navigating midlife reinvention, career changes, life transitions, resilience, confidence and self-trust, healthy boundaries, burnout, personal growth, and rediscovering purpose.

Whether you're returning to school, considering a new career, rebuilding after a difficult season, learning to choose yourself, or simply realizing that the life you've been living no longer fits the woman you're becoming, you don't have to have everything figured out before you begin.

I believe your past can inform you without defining you, your age doesn't determine what's still possible, and meaningful change begins when you decide to participate in creating what comes next.

Sometimes reclaiming your life doesn't mean starting over. It means finally choosing how you want to move forward.

Seattle, US

Speaks English

I have spent the past twenty years as a parent and homeschool educator attempting to live creatively and authentically in a world that often demands otherwise.  My undergraduate degree in International Relations and M.S. in TESOL speaks to my love for the diversity of the human experience and my desire to bridge understanding.  

 

As I travel the ‘middle of the journey of my life’ I find myself wanting to walk alongside others as they navigate their unique journeys. As a mental health coach, I'm here to co-design a space with you where we can explore the creative steps you can take to live in alignment with your purpose.  

 

I gravitate to poetry, nature, art, relationships, and spirituality to feel at home in the world.

 

I also have a silly sense of humor and delight in the absurd which helps in my ongoing quest of trying not to take things too seriously.

Cleveland, OH, US

Speaks English

I’m Patrick Santilli, a licensed therapist and National Board Certified Health and Wellness Coach with over 14 years of experience helping adults navigate various challenges related to ADHD, OCD, autism spectrum disorders, anxiety, relationships, career, and life transitions. My approach is collaborative and inquisitive, aiming to understand your experiences through your perspective. I worked in Information Technology for nearly 10 years while I was in college before starting my focus on mental health. My affinity for technology has helped so much in a practical sense with telehealth work. I have always looked at life in an analytical or "troubleshooting" way, and my therapy approach mirrors that as well.

As a therapist and coach, I have worked in drug and alcohol rehabs, behavioral health centers, private practice, self started my own private practice, and coaching instruction. Being a group therapist, individual therapist, case manager, couples therapist, and teacher has helped shape my perspective and love for what I do.
