Personal Coaching · Non-Clinical

Coaching for when something needs to move.

Non-clinical coaching for adults who know something needs to move and want help getting clear on what, building the plan, and following through. Coaching is not psychotherapy.

Who Coaching Is For

A structured thinking partner.

  • Adults facing decisions, transitions, identity shifts, career questions, relationships, or personal growth.
  • Professionals and founders who want a structured thinking partner.
  • People who want goals, reflection, action planning, and accountability without entering psychotherapy.
A note from Dr. Vance

"I just don't have the motivation to do it." I hear some version of that often in coaching. Usually I do not think motivation is the whole problem. What I hear underneath it is: I need clarity on what I actually want, I need a plan, and I need someone to help me stay accountable to it.

Most people I coach are not lost. They can tell me what they want to change, what frustrates them, what they keep imagining for themselves. The challenge is turning those thoughts into something they can actually move toward. So we get specific. What exactly are we working toward? How will we know progress is happening? What is the finish line? What do we adjust when life gets in the way?

I am interested in the goal. I am also paying attention to who you are becoming while you pursue it. Sometimes the real shift is not hitting the target. It is becoming more decisive, more disciplined, more trusting of yourself, and more capable of turning an idea into action. So when someone tells me they do not have the motivation, I usually hear an invitation to get much more specific.

The Coaching Path

How the coaching runs.

Coaching is not clinical. There are no diagnoses and no assessments, just a clear path from where you are to where you want to go.

01

A complimentary consultation. A short, no-pressure call to talk through what you are dealing with and what you want to move toward, and to confirm that coaching, not therapy, is the right fit.

02

Getting clear on goals. Our early work names what matters most and defines the goals worth your energy. No assessments and no diagnosis, just clarity on where you are and where you want to go.

03

The work, GROW-informed. We move through Goal, Reality, Options, and Way Forward, using worksheets, reflective prompts, and action plans when useful, with accountability between sessions.

04

Ongoing review. Coaching is open-ended, with periodic check-ins on your goals, progress, and fit, adjusting as your priorities shift. We set the pace together.

Coaching is not psychotherapy.

Coaching does not include diagnosis, treatment, crisis care, psychotherapy, or mental-health assessment. If clinical needs emerge, ClearMinds may recommend therapy, psychiatric care, crisis support, or another appropriate referral.

Not sure which fits? Say so in your inquiry. The consultation will sort it honestly.
