Services Offered
I provide life coaching not mental health counseling. Mental health counseling and life coaching serve distinctly different purposes, though both offer valuable support. Counseling is designed to help individuals address emotional healing, diagnose and treat psychological conditions and explore the past to uncover unhelpful patterns and behaviors.
Life coaching, in contrast, is future-focused and goal/task-oriented, helping clients identify their strengths, set achievable goals, and create actionable plans for personal growth. While counseling is best for those needing support with mental health or emotional healing, life coaching is ideal for those seeking guidance, motivation, and accountability as they work toward new possibilities in their lives.
We work from a specific focused topic and develop goals based on that. Some examples of topics can include: Perimenopause and Related Symptoms, Intimacy and Sexual Concerns, Empty Nesting and Redefining Identity, Exercise and General Wellness.
I offer a 10 min free consult to determine if I am a good fit for your needs.

General Information
Services are delivered primarily through video/virtual services or phone, whichever you prefer. I do have a seperate full-time position so my coaching practice has limited hours.
Sessions are 25, 40 or 60 minutes based on your preference. The forty minute session is a standard session. Again, distinctly different than the average counseling session.
As long as you provide a 24 hour notice you can cancel at any time.
Cancellations – There is a $25.00 fee for appointments not cancelled within 24 hours. The first time this happens, I waive the fee, as we are all human. Unfortunately, if it happens a second time there is the fee. The reason for the fee is that I only offer a few of these appointments a week and it is difficult to fill your session with less than 24 hours notice. Since I only have several hours a week to provide these services, a cancellation policy is necessary.
If you choose Shanda Berdan Coaching for services we will set up your inital appointment and I will email the intake agreement/intial assessment. Thank you for considering working with me!
