A key issue is transitioning from work to home. At work he or she is in charge and must often make quick decisions on key matters. At work one is often well respected and looked up to. At home the individual is more a partner and has to patiently collaborate and work with the family rather than authoritatively and decisively run the family.

Stressors at work are often broad based and different than for other individuals. In addition to dealing with the financial, marketing and sales issues much time is often spent on dealing with the interpersonal issues of employees, colleagues and immediate supervisors which might include a board of directors and a business team. A major part of these challenges require dealing with the interpersonal issues at work as well as his or her own interpersonal reactions. The result can be a work based psychological mine field.

On the home front he or she must now be a significant other, parent and sometimes an adult child to an aging parent. In some work settings work and home issuers are blended such as in family owned businesses or when family members are employed , which can further complicate a person's life.

Having a dual back ground as a therapist and a corporate consultant I can help you achieve integration of and appropriately address issues in either or both domains. It should be noted that my emphasis here is on personal growth using my training and experience in industrial and organizational psychology, as well as psychoanalysis.
Coaching is a business based activity usually involving input from a supervisor, co-workers and employees as part of the coaching process. The intent is to improve a person's functioning in a business setting. Historically coaching was directed at problem employees. More recently it is often done as part of a personal growth and development program for employees with promise and potential. Since coaching is often requested by a supervisor and paid for by the company and on going reports are fed back to the supervisor by the coach on a regular basis. No such formal feed back is given in Executive Therapy. Everything is kept confidential and all input comes strictly from the individual involved.

The key similarity is that both Therapy and Coaching can involve personal growth and development in the business setting.
