Counseling, Coaching, and Empowerment
When a person experiences a life crisis, whether brought about by illness, disability, or personal tragedy, it is crucial to address his or her psychological needs and develop the skills to meet the challenge.
Leonard N. Matheson, PhD, is a licensed psychologist who approaches counseling by emphasizing empowerment. If you are a professional athlete who has experienced an injury that threatens your career, you need doctors and therapists to help diagnose and treat the medical problem, but you also need a coach to “get back in the game”. Len has more than 35 years of experience coaching people through serious personal crises.
Len’s clinical experience has been within the context of rehabilitation, which has shaped his intervention strategies. “I believe that the primary goal of intervention is to help you and your family to develop the skills and confidence to handle the crisis and return to a full and meaningful life. Empowerment is the focus.”
