My name is Wanda Austin-Williams, MSW. I have a Masters
Degree in Social Work and have worked several years as a clinical therapist. I also hold a Bachelors Degree
in Business Management . Having trained as a clincal therapist
and with a background in business managment, I feel gives me
an edge in relating to others and helping people identify and achieve their goals.
As a social worker, I have had extensive training
in effective communication, psychology, behavorial therapy, human relationships
and self exploration. For the past few years I have worked as a psychotherapist at a large outpatient behavioral services clinic. In that capacity, I have had the opprotunity to work with a variety of treatment
conditions and problem areas. I have witnessed the powerful effects
of how working one on one toward achieving a common goal, can
be so effective in helping to facilitate personal change, growth, insight,
courage and strength.
Working as a psychotherapist is a very rewarding
career; however, I feel my purpose is to do more. like therapy, coaching
is a supportive relationship between
you and a trained professional who can assist you in creating a more
fulfilling life. While therapy focuses on healing the past and
helping you to better understand your feelings, life coaching is about taking
action. It's about moving forward and taking steps toward designing
a positive future. While a therapist might ask the question "How do
you feel?," a life coach often asks "What do you want and how would
you like to feel?," and then help you to develop strategies to obtain
your personal or professional goals. Over the years, I have developed a style of working that
is holistic, solution-focused and client collaborative. That is
what personal coaching is all about.
The words "Total Es'sence" is representative of
how I approach the coaching relationship, Webster dictionary
defines Essence as " the inherent qualities that make something what it is.. It is something made without
accident. It is unique. My goal as your coach and mentor is to help
you define your "Essence", achieve your goals and begin to live your
life's purpose in its totality.
I look forward to working
with you. Please call us 734-657-3209 or email:totalessence0@lycos.com
