Getting sober is one thing. Figuring out who you are without the substance is another. Life coaching at Elemental Collaborative is for people who are past the acute phase — who have stopped using, or who are working to — and who are now facing the deeper questions. What do I actually want? Who am I when I'm not in survival mode? What does a life that fits actually look like?
What It Is
Life coaching is structured around your goals — not a clinical model, not a recovery program, not a standard framework applied to every client. The work looks different for every person. Common areas include purpose and direction, identity and self-understanding, relationships, career transitions, goal-setting, accountability, and building the kind of daily structure that supports a life you actually want to be living.
Who It's For
People who are done with the acute phase of recovery and ready to build something. People navigating a major life transition — a career change, a relationship shift, a move, a reinvention. Also people who have never dealt with addiction but who feel like they're not living the life they actually want — and are ready to do something about it.
How It Works
Life coaching engagements begin with a conversation about where you are and what you're working toward. Sessions are typically weekly, structured around your goals, and adjusted as those goals evolve. The engagement can be short-term — focused on a specific transition — or ongoing, depending on what you need. There is no fixed program or timeline.
Recovery is discovery. The work of life coaching — when it's done well — is the work of finding out who you actually are.
