Natalia K. says, "To explain David’s work is to explain the work of servant leader. David, quite literally, saved my life. I was a young 18yo high school graduate when I met David with a heavy load of anxiety, PTSD, and depression. I had no direction or idea of how to deal with what I was going through just that I couldn’t function. I was starting college and it was crucial I get help. David was the sole person that I felt safe with and that I relied on to get me through my first year. He really opened my eyes and taught me about myself and how to process and get better with everything. I was even desperate to get on medication, that’s how bad it was. But David is the one who gave me a breakdown of what the medication is, how it works, how it’s suppose to help and the drawbacks. He encouraged me to try to work with him first for 6 months before taking medications, and I’m so thankful he did! Most therapists would not do that. I never ended up taking it and I’m so glad I didn’t stuck on it. David had my best interest from the start and truly took his time to help me. David is also incredibly knowledgeable is always doing more reading on recent research, staying up to date about psychological concepts. David doesn’t give BS answers, he gives the truth and the science of what’s going on with you and your mind. He’s logical and it makes sense! I’m 25 now and I still talk to David but less frequently, and had I not had David to go to when I was 18, I wouldn’t be in the place I am without him. I never believed I could get better when I was 18, I thought this was just who I am and I’ll never be better, but he guided me that I could. It took a lot, and I mean A LOT of work, but he was there guiding me through it all. And the fact that I talk to David a couple times a year vs every week is truly a sign that David’s work works. David always said “the less you need to talk to me the better. The goal is to equip you with the ability to navigate this in your own without me.” That’s when you know you have a good therapists because their goal is not make money from you but to help you until you don’t need them anymore. Thank you David." Read more

Arlene N. says, "The reasons for me taking on hypnotherapy was the following reasons: I felt weak. The second reason I wanted to get stronger to move forward in my diet and my weight loss. The next reason was I had a difficult time meeting new people, I was having a difficult time giving speeches in front of a huge crowd. I also had difficulty sleeping in the dark which was really fearful. Lastly, I wanted to feel comfortable making everywhere my home. My life before hypnotherapy was very negative. I felt very weak and that’s why I needed this help. Before hypnotherapy I couldn’t have the courage to diet to workout to keep up with my weight loss. I had a difficult time meeting new people and giving speeches in front of a huge crowd. I also was afraid sleeping in the dark. Also I didn’t have the courage to move away from my home to a new city a new place and make that new place my home. My experience in working with hypnotherapy was great. I was using the hypnotherapy five times daily. I was lying down in a position that I was comfortable it was just me and myself and that was just helping my hypnotherapy go by smoothly. The recording given by you Farzin jan helped me a lot. It was helping me in the consciousness to put a language and memory for myself and to visualize that strong, beautiful arlene which arlene is at peace with how strong she really is. The recordings were beautiful. Farzin jan every 10 days you were coaching me through everything. That helped a lot. Your personality is incredible and I had fun working with you through everything. The changes, transformations, healings, and empowerments I experienced through the process is I lost 13 pounds in 30 days. I also healed by forgetting all the past pains that were in me from childhood. I healed by forgiving everyone for all the pain they caused me. I practiced grace and forgiveness. I also got to meet new people in my life. I am comfortable now doing a presentation in front of huge crowds and new people. I am ready and comfortable for moving to northern California to continue my studies in person and make that place my new home as well. I also forgot the affirmation at first that I was weak and now my affirmation is I am at peace with how strong I really am. In relation to my reasons for taking on hypnotherapy my life is going great now. I am meeting new people in my life. I am giving speeches on zoom in front of a lot of people and I feel comfortable doing that now. I am continuing my healthy diet and focusing on my exercise and I have dropped 13 pounds in 30 days my next goal is 8 pounds in the next 4 weeks. I am moving to northern California making that my new home and I cant wait to move there and start a new life. I got rid of the fear sleeping in the dark because of the advice you gave me Farzin jan. I am at peace with how strong I really am. I am living a peaceful happy life filled with plenty of love. I have continued practicing forgiveness and getting along with everyone really well. What I see is possible for me now in the future since I took hypnotherapy I see that if I put in all the work that I had to do during those 30 days I will improve even more. Nothing is impossible as I learned from this. It is all the persons willingness to change to work on one self. I see that if I find my other supportive behalf the person who will be by my side will be a great adventure as well. After hypnotherapy I felt like I need to meet my significant other and I feel that comfort now while I was never ready for a relationship because of the reasons I took hypnotherapy. Now I feel ready to start a new life if I meet the right person and I see it is possible for me to work on my weight loss goal in one year. As me and you planned by October 2023 I shall be 175 pounds and nothing is impossible. That is my goal and I will reach to it. I will move to northern California graduating my joint bachelors masters degree getting the job that I dream of having in the finance industry and I am sure these are all possible since I have taken on hypnotherapy for the issues in the beginning. What I can say to anyone who is thinking about taking on hypnotherapy and working with you as a hypnotherapist I would say the following. I took on hypnotherapy and I am at peace with how strong I really am. Working with Farzin has been a pleasure a wonderful opportunity in my life. Farzin understood me each step of the way. He guided me he thought me more about the background to hypnotherapy and he helped me understood what the main purpose of hypnotherapy is. To me it means to be in a conscious state and to put aside the old language and memories and to start new language and new memories that will lead you to a successful and bright future. To me Farzin is an angel a best friend a relative now. He was talking to me each step of the way if I needed to message him he helps in any instant he gets back to you at any minute he will find free time. The way Farzin projects the hypnotherapy and the way the client receives the hypnotherapy is such a great feeling. I give Farzin 10 stars and even more if I could. Farzin jan thank you for everything. Yes, I have final words for you Farzin Jan. Thank you so much for everything. I wish that I can keep in contact with you not only as my hypnotherapist but as our family friend. I would like to have you over as a Iranian brother as a guest to Socal in the future. I hope that when I graduate you will accept my invitation to my graduation party and I will be able to thank you for being a part in my life and I will be able to thank you for this support in this journey. I will be glad to update you on my improvements and my weight loss and my future goals as well. I hope that I will have you as a person seeing my journey and my dreams as well. Farzin jan, you became not only my hypnotherapist but a brother for me and my family. Thank you, thank you, thank you!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! What you have done for me will never be forgotten."

Your Life Coaching questions, answered

Answers to commonly asked questions from the experts on Thervo.

How much does a life coach cost near me?

A life coach costs $75 to $200 per session on average, depending on their experience. Rates are on the higher end of the range for coaches with extensive experience and certifications, or for well-known coaches that are in high demand.

Life coach package prices are $300 to $1,400 monthly for a bundle of 4 to 8 sessions. Most life coaches schedule weekly or biweekly sessions.

  • Most sessions last 1 hour.
  • Fees increase for packages that include phone and email support between sessions.
  • Some coaches offer an entire program for a flat fee instead of charging a per-session rate.

Online life coaching costs $50 to $100 per session and is a good option if you're interested in working with a coach outside your local area.

What is life coaching?

Life coaching is a customized guidance program that steers you to reach personal and professional goals more effectively. Coaches employ a range of proven methods from positive psychology to amplifying self-awareness, empowering you to achieve your utmost potential.

Are life coaches worth it?

When you want direction and encouragement in chasing your goals, life coaches are worth it. Their custom-tailored advice aids in recognizing strengths, establishing objectives, and making transformative changes that are challenging to accomplish alone.

What is the difference between a therapist and a life coach?

The primary difference between a therapist and a life coach lies in their qualifications. Therapists typically require state licensing and often a master's degree, whereas life coaching remains unregulated. Life coaches don't follow a nationally standardized education path. Instead, each life coach has unique specializations.

Does insurance cover life coaching?

Life coaching is typically not an expense that insurance will cover. Still, some coaches might provide sliding-scale charges, installment plans, or group sessions to accommodate more people.

If a life coach is also a licensed psychologist or psychiatrist, certain health insurance plans might cover their sessions. Many health plans do provide coverage for emergency mental health services.

How do I know if a life coach is certified?

Verify a life coach's certification by looking for credentials like:

  • Certification from the International Coach Federation (ICF)
  • Training from the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaching (NBHWC)
  • Academic qualifications in psychology, human services, communication, or counseling
  • Degrees in nutrition and health, especially if they offer dietary guidance

Remember to inquire about their training, client feedback, and professional references to confirm their experience.

How do I find a life coach near me?

Find coaching services by searching online-coaching directories, getting referrals from friends, or looking for a life coach near you on Thervo.

Consider these factors in your search:

  • Look for the best life coaches experienced in helping clients reach the goals you have.
  • For executive coaching, seek out those with a Master's degree in your field.
  • Ask if they get ongoing education or refresher courses.
  • Request a contract including the payment schedule and terms of service.
  • Be cautious about hiring the cheapest or the most expensive coach because the price isn't the only indicator of the quality of their services.

What questions do I ask before hiring a life coach?

Ask these questions before selecting the right life coach for you:

  • What's your main area of expertise in coaching?
  • Are your sessions online, in-person, or both?
  • Do you offer special rates for those between jobs?
  • Could you share feedback from past clients?
  • How many years have you been practicing life coaching?
  • Are there bundled packages for extended coaching?
  • What's your educational and training background?
  • Do you hold any coaching certifications?
  • How long do your coaching sessions typically last?
  • Is it possible to contact you after our sessions if I want more advice?
  • Will I get assignments, such as reading or maintaining a diary?
  • How do you monitor my growth?
  • Can I have a copy of your cancellation and refund policies?

I’ve been aware of hypnotherapy and its relevance/benefits to human performance living for many years. Upon learning of Farzin’s expertise in the field, I knew it would be a great opportunity to seek out his professional help. I personally sought to take it on in order to get further in touch with my authentic self and break certain long-standing limiting beliefs as well as work through old patterns to heal childhood traumas. I would say my life was going about the right trajectory, however, there were certain limitations which held me back from living and expressing my best self. I had the most intense and profound session during the initial “deletion session”. Farzin guided me into the trance state and from there helped take me back to certain origins were initial traumas occurred. I was able to experience release and reconciliation of these trauma. From there we went into the following two session at later dates to then program and “install” desired patterns. Farzin was very in tune with the goals I set and desired state I was looking for. He did a great job creating a customized hypnosis audio script to supplement the continued work. I feel a little lighter and more free with myself. There isn’t as much self-resistance as there was in the past. Additionally, and this is even more profound, I am no longer burdened with anger and upset towards certain traumas that I experienced during childhood. As mentioned above, I am more of my authentic self. I am not nearly as hard on myself or self-critical over seemingly mundane things. And if I am, I can immediately catch those self-defeating and limiting thought patterns. ANYTHING is possible. Nothing is limited or set in stone. It is merely a matter of belief and disciplined adherence to empowering belief systems. This is hypnosis. You WILL experience change. Have no expectations, however. Just trust the process and ALLOW the work to take place as you engage in practices, specific to your unique hypnosis work, which Farzin will help you develop. Farzin, thank you for helping me unlock another aspect of myself.

I have worked with Yacine at Anger Management Institute and referred many of my clients to her. She gave me practical tools to take greater responsibility for my thoughts and actions. She helped me to activate positive change in my life, and for that I am ever so grateful.
