Lifestyle Counseling

What is Lifestyle Counseling

Lifestyle Counselors are the newest generation of distinguished health care professionals. They are uniquely cross trained in multiple disciplines that most directly affect the lifestyle-change process. A Lifestyle Counselor is a teacher, guide, motivator, and fan club president for the individual engaged in the process of lifestyle change. Lifestyle Counselors are the health care professionals of choice for individuals who are serious about lifestyle change and need the guidance and support of a well-trained, knowledgeable counselor.

LCs work with their clients in a nonjudgmental and empathic way to help the clients succeed in lifestyle change, reduce the risk of preventable diseases, and improve overall quality of life. These cutting-edge health care professionals are trained to focus on the entire fabric of the individual's lifestyle. They are well prepared to assist their clients modify attitudes, cognitions, emotions, goals, and behaviors. Moreover, Lifestyle Counselors are trained to appropriately assess their clients' needs and refer those clients who would be better served by more specialized health professionals. The dedication to a multi-disciplinary approach to lifestyle change coupled with a referral network of specialized health care professionals has established Lifestyle Counselors as the newest generation of distinguished health care professionals.
