Barbara Ochsner-Walsh M.A., LMFT
Psychological Wellness / Life Coaching
Let's address and find resolution for the issues with which you are struggling.
During the pandemic we will meet virtually. Please refer to the Services Page for the options I am familiar with. If you are more comfortable with any other format please tell me.
FAMILY & AGING
- Do you have or are you an aging family member with an increasing need for daily assistance?
- Are you or other family members struggling with the best choices to make to provide this care?
Everyone in the family, including the elder, is effected in one or multiple ways. We can address all issues individually & as a family so that everyone’s needs are met to the greatest degree possible and provide the highest possible quality of life.
LIFE COACHING
Achieve your goals with Confidence, Balance, Focus and Fulfillment..... in your personal and professional life.
- Do you feel overwhelmed when faced with a task?
- Do you feel you are unable to concentrate for long enough periods to get things done?
- Do you know you need to make changes in your life but have no idea what those changes are?
Some specific conditions that can lead to issues are:
- those with ADD often need assistance with organizing and staying on track
- social anxiety which requires learning and practicing social skills to create a sense of confidence, replacing anxiety and even allowing you to have fun in your social life
- lack of ability to identify and develop the path to achieve any goal
Do you want to shine? All you need is a little coaching.
LIFE MANAGEMENT
- Are you feeling depressed, anxious, sad, or having difficulty managing the stress in your life?
- Are you experiencing a lack of ability to accomplish the things you want and/or need to do?
Together we will explore how you can address these feelings effectively and learn to manage them so you feel a sense of control and experience the ability to appreciate and enjoy your daily life.
FOOD & NUTRITION
- Are you using food to fill an internal sense of void or help yourself feel calm in the moment?
- Does this result in feelings of increased distress rather than alleviating the feelings of anxiety?
We will find ways for you to fill that void, manage the anxiety, and feel calm without using food to soothe.
- Do you have nagging health issues such as lack of energy or digestive issues?
Together we analyze your current eating habits to find nutritional deficiencies then design a diet to address symptoms and optimize for good health.
By developing life long sustainable & healthy habits, food can then be a pleasurable way to nourish and give energy to your body,
PARTNERED RELATIONSHIPS
- Are you having difficulties in your committed relationship?
- Do you feel your partner does not hear you?
- Are you angry and feel your partner is to blame?
- Have you lost the ability to feel connected over time?
Common issues you might be experiencing relate to sex, economics, infidelity, life transitions, & more.
I teach both of you the importance of and how to allow each other to be who you are. With this approach you can learn to communicate your needs & desires in an effective manner, allowing for resolution of issues that work for both of you.
