PERSONALIZED COACHING
Personalized Coaching for Real Change — Wherever You Are in the World
Goal-focused support for problematic sexual behaviors, relationships, betrayal trauma recovery, infidelity, and substance use — available to clients worldwide.
What Is Online Coaching?
Coaching is a structured, goal-oriented partnership designed to help you move forward. While our therapists work with clients in California, Pennsylvania, Colorado (Jeremy only), and Oregon (Allison only), our coaching services are available to individuals and couples anywhere in the world — making the Center for Integrative Change's specialized expertise accessible no matter where you live.
A coaching relationship is built around you: your goals, your timeline, and the specific areas of your life where you're feeling stuck or ready to grow. Sessions are conducted on a secure virtual platform, so your privacy is protected at every step.
Is Coaching Right For You?
You might be wondering whether coaching or therapy is the right fit. Here's a simple way to think about it: therapy is typically best suited for people working through mental health conditions, past trauma, or clinical diagnoses. Coaching is a great fit when you have a clear sense of what you want to change and are looking for practical, forward-focused guidance to get there.
Our coaches bring deep clinical knowledge to every coaching relationship, but coaching is not therapy and does not constitute a therapeutic relationship or mental health treatment. Coaching is also not covered by insurance. Coaching fees vary with the coach’s experience and training.
Coaching at CIC may be a great fit if you're:
Living outside California, Pennsylvania, Colorado, and Oregon but want support from our specialized team
Ready to take action on a specific goal but not sure where to start
Looking for structured accountability alongside your existing therapy
Seeking expert guidance regarding addiction, betrayal, relationships, and trauma
Our Coaching Focus Areas
-
Sex & Porn Addiction Recovery
Out-of-control sexual behaviors can leave you feeling ashamed, isolated, and unsure of who you are. Our coaches are trained in evidence-based approaches to compulsive sexual behavior and can help you build clarity around your patterns, develop concrete goals for change, and create a personalized roadmap toward the life and relationships you want. Coaching in this area is especially valuable for those outside our therapy service states who need specialized, knowledgeable support.
-
Relationship & Intimacy Coaching
Healthy relationships require ongoing work—and sometimes we need a guide. Whether you're navigating communication struggles, emotional distance, differing needs around intimacy, or a desire to deepen your connection, our coaches can help you and your partner develop the tools and awareness to build a more fulfilling relationship. Relationship coaching is available for individuals and couples.
-
Substance Use & Recovery Coaching
Recovery isn't one-size-fits-all. Our coaches bring a harm reduction-informed perspective to substance use, meeting you where you are without judgment. Whether you're exploring your relationship with alcohol or drugs, working toward moderation, or looking for support as you maintain sobriety, we'll help you identify what meaningful change looks like for you. We can also help you create a practical plan to move toward it.
-
Betrayal Trauma & Affair Recovery Coaching
Discovering a partner's infidelity or hidden sexual behaviors can shatter your sense of reality and safety. Betrayal trauma coaching provides structured support to help you process what happened, identify what you need, and begin charting a path forward, whether that means working on the relationship or finding your footing as an individual. Our coaches understand the unique complexity of betrayal and can offer a compassionate, knowledgeable space for this deeply painful experience.

What to Expect
Coaching at CIC is collaborative and personalized. Here's how it typically works:
1. Free Consultation — We start with a 15-minute call to understand your goals and make sure coaching is the right fit.
2. Goal Setting — Your first session is dedicated to clarifying what you want to change and what success looks like.
3. Structured Sessions — Sessions are typically held weekly or bi-weekly. Your coach will guide you through exercises, reflections, and practical steps in and between sessions.
4. Progress & Accountability — We regularly check in on your goals, talk through obstacles, and adjust the plan as needed.
