Coaching can be a great tool to help facilitate positive change. A strong coach helps to boost the morale and motivation of their clients. Depending on your specific needs, a coach can help you improve in any area of your life. Our team at Next Level supports our clients with finding and utilizing the right coach or counselor for their needs.

Regarding addiction recovery, a coach can help the client, and their loved ones navigate the recovery process more easily and gracefully. With an endless list of potential coaches that could best fit your needs, we will consider two of the more common coaching methods.

Parent Coaching and Therapy are the two main fields of personal coaching and guidance we offer to our clients and their families. These coaching methods help clients hold themselves accountable for their healing and growth while improving their confidence and execution. 

Understanding Parent Coaching

Working with parents to help them fine-tune their relationships with their children can make for strong and lasting improvements. 

Parent coaching is a great way to actively and intentionally work on strengthening the parent-child bond. A parent coach can offer support with many unique family circumstances, providing supportive mentorship. 

Whether seeking to reconnect with someone who has been addicted or as someone who is actively overcoming it, parent coaching offers unique healing tools tailored to each client. 

A parent coach will help clients and their loved ones focus on how they can better show up for their loved ones. This form of coaching can help revitalize one of the most important relationships we'll have in our lifetimes. 

When a family supports a young person through addiction recovery, new challenges exist. Parent coaching helps parents learn how to best approach the recovery experience with their child. The coach will offer the parents mentorship on how to best connect to their child moving forward. 

For a parent overcoming addiction, a parent coach can also help them learn how to fortify the connection to their children. This partnership will focus on helping the parent re-establish a strong role in their own lives and those of their loved ones. 

A strong parent coach provides actionable tools that help develop new and positive habits aligned with a client's desired path. A parent coach can also facilitate deeper conversations between family members. These conversations can help clear the air, providing families with the clean slate needed to progress harmoniously.  

A parent coach can offer unique tools to our clients and their families that encourage them to break the ice, find or redefine their harmony and move forward as a stronger unit. 

Understanding Therapy Coaching 

Therapy or counseling has become more of a regular topic in modern-day conversation. Therapy can offer our clients or their loved ones new and insightful thoughts and perspectives. A quality therapist will actively listen to the client while sharing thought-provoking ideas to consider. 

A well-rounded therapist is committed to helping clients open their minds while embracing the bigger picture. The bigger picture can include underlying patterns, attitudes, and behaviors or the feelings and perspectives of others. 

Therapy can also help the client learn how to actively integrate new thoughts and patterns while carefully releasing the past. This dual processing can be a highly beneficial way to make changes on a much broader scale. 

Therapy is a powerful way to work through personal issues, offering clients a safe space to express themselves without judgment. Removing shame, stigma, and other factors makes it easier for clients to process their experiences for deeper and lasting healing. 

When to Consider Coaching

Coaching is an alternative to many healing options offering judgment-free support and guidance. There are various ways for our clients to seek counsel and active mentorship that honor their personal spiritual, physical, mental, and emotional needs. 

A coach or counselor of any kind can be of benefit to a client in several instances:

• Before treatment

• After initial detox treatment

• Overcoming significant relational turbulence

Before treatment, a coach can offer encouragement to start opening up to the idea of change. They can help clients begin to look at their life with more awareness and presence. A counselor can help clients process their circumstances and consider the best options to move forward. 

After detox treatment, a coach can be a great person to help boost morale and strengthen a client's new foundation in sobriety. A counselor or therapist can similarly offer guidance and more of a listening ear to help a client understand their experiences. 

Both a parent coach and therapist can help address significant relational distress. Aside from working with a client directly to consider and change specific patterns and behaviors, a coach or therapist can also work within a group family setting. 

The counselor can facilitate challenging conversations such as interventions or addressing specific issues, making it easier for families to be present for the healing.  

Targeted coaching, such as parent coaching, can help streamline the pathway to accomplishment and healing. General coaching practices such as general psychotherapy can also help guide and inspire the client toward positive change. 

A great coach works with a client to encourage and support them as they reach for their goals. At Next Level, all coaches we work with are committed to client success. Together, we progress toward the next level of healing and personal accomplishment.
