A developmental coaching program for health and wellness.
Zenith Wellness is a holistic program that centers around your physical, social, emotional, professional, environmental, and intellectual health. Your coach will guide you through assessing and addressing each of these areas to improve your overall well being.
Our Story
Five years ago, I began to see a steep increase in mental health complaints in my pediatric practice. I was frustrated with my own lack of training in the specialty, and the severe lack of access to mental health care. I reached out to a local therapist to find a way to stop this mental health epidemic. Together we developed Zenith Wellness, a developmental coaching program inspired by the 40 year old concept of the wellness wheel and founded in principles of positive psychology.
The wellness wheel uses expert guidelines to show you where you are already thriving, and where you could create new habits to find your best self as a professional, a partner, a parent, and most importantly, a whole person.
By understanding your physical, social, emotional, professional, environmental, and intellectual health in the context of clinical and expert guidelines, you can decrease the likelihood that worries turn to anxiety, sadness becomes depression, or feeling stuck leaves you lost. As a coach, I’m passionate about prevention. I want this life management system to help you feel more connected, more hopeful, and fulfilled.
Our Program
Zenith Wellness offers an interactive coaching program that helps you identify your wellness strengths and challenges. You develop strategies for managing worries, tough feelings, and complex relationships. By the end, you have a holistic picture of your wellness, and most of all, you have tools to see and address new challenges. In our pilot program, participants reported an increase in hopefulness and a greater sense of connection to their community over the 8 weeks.
This program uses a diagnostic survey, which has been validated against existing depression and anxiety screening tools such as the Beck's Depression Screening tool and the PH-Q 9 Depression Screening tool, in order to identify challenge areas. Using the information collected in the survey, we help participants build a collection of targeted microstrategies through social elicitation in a workshop setting.
By embedding the program in secondary school and college settings, we aim to halt the dysphoric march of depression and anxiety before they become entrenched diagnoses. In addition to taking a preventive approach, the program deepens social bonds and decreases the sense of isolation that so often leads to depression and anxiety.
All anybody wants is to be seen and understood. The first step in finding true wellness is seeing yourself. Zenith Wellness coaching helps you to understand how to live your life with meaning, joy, and hope.
