Health Coaching

Health coaching is an evidence-based practice for promoting healthy lifestyles and behavior change. A health coach partners with clients to help them identify their strengths, obstacles, and strategies.

Align Health Collective offers a wide variety of group coaching services. One is the "Change for Good" series, which focuses on establishing a vision and engaging in exercises that encourage clients to think about their values, motivators, and strengths.

Another program uses a combination of motivational interviewing and behavioral techniques to encourage participants to make changes. It is offered at two practices and consists of four 90-minute sessions that take place biweekly.

The program is designed to help participants improve their self-care skills and decrease stress. The goal is for participants to gain a deeper understanding of their individual goals, set SMART goals and create action steps to achieve these goals.
