Whatcha Wondering?

What's the difference between what you do and therapy?

A lot of what therapy focuses on is healing and processing past traumas and challenges. Education and coaching, on the other hand, focuses on where you are now, where you'd like to go, and how you'd like to get there. Of course, the space we share can be healing in its own right, but not for the same reasons as therapy. The relational learning spaces I create are tools for self-reflection, setting and achieving goals, questioning the unhelpful patterns and habits you might engage in, and taking steps towards living your most authentic life. These spaces are absolutely not therapy and I am not a mental health professional, but the work we do together could be the right choice for you instead of, or alongside, therapy! 

I want to hire you for something that's not listed on your website (group facilitation, consulting, etc.). What do I do?

Reach out to me at sarah@sarahsimoncoaching.com with an inquiry!

...you sound kinda niche. Can you swing it in more traditional settings, like an office?

I sure can! I've worked in a variety of settings successfully and thoughtfully, including digital media startups and schools! Because I am client-driven and use educational theory to undergird my work, I am able to adapt information and methods to best fit the needs of my clients or learners. 

What will I learn through working with you?

I like to think that at the very least, all of my clients leave our time together having developed a stronger sense of self, finding themselves in deeper alignment with their values, needs, and relationships, and feeling fulfilled from the achievement of their goals. Of course, each person has a different experience of meeting these milestones. But, generally, those are my goals for our time together! That being said,  we will spend our sessions working on what you bring to the table, both, in that particular moment and in relation to your long term goals. I feel strongly that a client-driven approach is the most beneficial way to engage in relational education spaces. Therefore, my hope is that you will leave our sessions with whatever skills, perspective, realignment, and reimaginings you wanted to develop.

What does a typical session look like? 

Using an informed and collaborative consent process, we will co-construct our sessions in our very first meeting. This can/will be revisited throughout our time together to help us work in harmony and stay on the same page. Generally, our sessions will begin with a check in of some kind, a reflection on the time past since our last session, deep work on whatever goals we have in front of us, and a closing/action plan moving forward.. What we do in that container is totally up to us (you!). 

Do you offer flexible pricing?

Yes! I offer 10% and 20% discount codes on all services which can be used by anyone at any time - no questions asked. There also is an option to break payments into smaller chunks. In ask that if you're able to pay the full amount, that you do so, BUT it's a priority to give as many folks the opportunity to engage in this work with as few barriers as possible. If pricing remains an obstacle, reach out to me via email or DM and we'll figure something out!

Who have you learned from? Who are some of the voices who influence you?

There are many waters from which I drink and it would be impossible to name them all! In addition to my guides and ancestors, I find myself llucky enough to be most in conversation with and influenced by Audre Lorde, adrienne maree brown, Mariame Kaba, Mia Mingus, bell hooks, Kai Cheng Thom, Prentis Hemphill, Jack Halberstam, Jose Esteban Munoz, Jeong-eun Rhee, Cynthia B. Dillard, Angela Davis, Sabrina Strings, Maria Lugones, and Robin Wall Kimmerer just to name a few!
