Coaching for Undergraduate and Graduate Students

How Coaching Can Support You Throughout College

Find (or Solidify) Your Career Path

Not sure what you want to do after college? Or maybe you have a few ideas but aren’t sure which direction to take? Coaching helps you explore your passions, assess your strengths, and map out a plan to get where you want to go.

Example: Taylor, a sophomore, was torn between pursuing environmental science or education. Through coaching, we explored her love for nature and teaching, and she eventually decided on environmental education. She now feels confident and focused as she completes her degree.

Special Focus: Psychology, Social Work, & Counseling Students

If you’re studying psychology, social work, or counseling, you’re on a path to help others—but sometimes, you need guidance yourself. Coaching helps you balance academic demands while developing the empathy, emotional intelligence, and resilience needed for your future career.

Example: Danielle, a graduate student in counseling, struggled with setting boundaries and balancing her emotional load from coursework and internships. Through coaching, she learned techniques for self-care and setting professional boundaries, allowing her to excel in her program without burning out.

Example: Maria, a nursing student, was feeling burnt out from her clinical rotations and coursework. Through coaching, we worked on stress-management techniques and realistic goal-setting, helping her regain balance and stay energized.

‼️ Understanding the Limits of Coaching

Coaching is a powerful tool for personal growth, goal achievement, and positive change, but it’s important to understand its limitations.

Coaching is not a substitute for therapy, counseling, or medical treatment. Coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health conditions like depression, anxiety, trauma, or addiction. While coaching can help you develop healthier habits and perspectives, deep-rooted emotional issues, past traumas, and mental health disorders should be addressed with licensed professionals in their respective fields, e.g. counseling, social work, psychology, psychiatry.

Coaching focuses on the present and future, helping you identify goals, overcome obstacles, and unlock your potential. If you're looking to heal emotional wounds, process past trauma, or manage a mental health diagnosis, therapy or counseling is the appropriate avenue. Coaching complements, but does not replace, these important services.

At drbernie.coach, I am committed to providing you with the right support for your needs. If it becomes clear that counseling or therapy may be more suitable for your situation, I will guide you toward the appropriate resources, and we may decide to pause or end coaching at that time. Your well-being is my top priority.
