Book description
Praise for From Therapist to Coach
"This book is very practical and helpful to the therapist who
wants to make a change and feels a bit overwhelmed with the
possibilities. The section on choosing a niche was illuminating and
very exciting to me. I found it helpful to have the training options
outlined so clearly, and the marketing section was extremely useful as
well."-Shelley R. Cohen, LCSW, Beverly Hills, CA
"This book has sparked a renewed passion for my work as I have
struggled the past couple of years with how to incorporate coaching
into my psychotherapy practice. I knew there must be a way to do it
but lacked the 'how to.' Based on his years of experience and real
insight, David Steele supplies the necessary tools to do so
effectively as well as invaluable strategies to help avoid the
pitfalls. Without hesitation, I highly recommend this as a book that
you will return to time and time again as a handbook for your private
practice as a therapist/coach."-Sharon O'Farrell, MIHA, Navan, Ireland
