Peer support & coaching is a collaborative, person-centered approach that blends the empathy and mutual understanding of peer support with the structure, tools, and forward movement of coaching. It’s grounded in equality, respect, and shared humanity—free from hierarchy, diagnosis, or clinical power dynamics.
Unlike traditional therapy or psychiatry, peer coaching doesn’t assume something is “wrong” with you that needs to be fixed. Instead, it honors your lived experience, your capacity for growth, and your right to self-determination. Through compassionate conversation, reflection, and skill-building, we work together to support your healing, empowerment, and life goals.
My Approach: Where Lived Experience Meets Coaching Insight
At Unlock Psych, I practice integrating the heart of peer support with the depth and structure of trauma-informed coaching.
Peer support offers something profoundly human: connection, understanding, and validation from someone who’s been through similar struggles. It’s about being met as an equal, not as a “patient.” Coaching, meanwhile, brings in intentional methods for growth—like somatic awareness, goal-setting, mindfulness, and nervous system regulation.
By weaving these together, I’m able to meet you where you are while gently helping you move toward where you want to be. This approach allows for both emotional healing and personal development—rooted in your autonomy, values, and pace.
