What is Recovery Coaching?
Recovery coaching helps clients develop goals, skills and purpose.
“Recovery Coaching involves a shift of emphasis from pathology, illness and symptoms to strengths, health, action, and wellness.” - William Anthony, PhD
Recovery Coaches provide clients with support in their homes, helping clients create daily and weekly routines based on their goals. We primarily work with clients who are struggling to manage their day to day lives due to a mental health disorder rather than a substance use disorder. All of Koved Care’s Recovery Coaches have an advanced degree in mental health care like a Masters in Social Work or Mental Health Counseling. Recovery Coaches do not provide treatment. Rather, they provide a safe, consistent presence and support around life skills. Koved Care’s Recovery Coaches are supervised by Dr. Jaclyn Ghamar, Director of Services. The background and supervision of our Recovery Coaches allows us to bring a unique level of intention and sophistication to the way we build relationships and offer support.
By utilizing Recovery Coaching, families and healthcare providers are free to focus on what they do best, while our clients benefit from building skills to promote greater organization and direction in their lives.
Our Approach
Relationships are the foundation of our approach to Recovery Coaching.
“The coaching relationship is a ‘designed alliance’ with the power being granted to the relationship, not the coach.” - sir john whitmore
Recovery Coaches meet our clients with a compassionate and empathetic approach to create trusting relationships. We focus on building relationships with strong foundations of trust between clients and coaches, so clients can learn and practice life skills in a way that is more comfortable and digestible.
Recovery Coaching is helpful for anyone who feels like they’re stuck or spinning their wheels due to a lack of structure or certain skills. Recovery Coaching is designed to address clients needs in their day to day, meeting clients where they’re at both literally and figuratively.
