Betsy McLeod, Ph.D.
COACH | MENTOR | WAYFINDER
Why Work With Me?
People seek me out when they feel stuck. Sometimes it’s just something super simple that’s bugging them. Sometimes it’s finding their purpose in life. I work with people of all ages on relationships, anxiety, and life decisions.
As a coach, I work with healthy individuals who want to make tweaks in a few areas of their lives to rediscover their strengths, get connected to the essence of who they are, and imagine different possibilities. I love what I do and bring a sense of playfulness and light to my work with people. I use coaching psychology and mindfulness practices to help you make the small shifts that are in between you and feeling free. I work with people who are ready to live joyfully in the moment, lean into what they love, and live according to their values.
Sessions take place on the phone, wherever you can talk openly and relax. I love meeting new people. Contact me for availability and pricing.
About Me
As a former play therapist, school counselor, and academic advisor, I have been coaching people for decades. I have a Ph.D. in counseling and human development with emphases on the language of play and having constructive dialogues. I am a certified Soul’s Calling Coach and have completed Martha Beck’s Wayfinder Training. I draw from all of these areas of expertise my work as a coach. As a whole life coach, I offer individual sessions and retreats to help people of all ages (re)discover what makes them feel content and free so that life is easier and more joyful.
I believe that creativity and positivity make the world a better place. My passion is helping both adults and youth live according to their own truths. When our life and work are in flow, they feel like play. I love to help people find (or remember) that feeling.
Betsy helped me get over a hump that I didn’t know I needed to. Now I feel like I’m on the right path. Before, I felt sort of stuck. Now I have permission to be free and it’s easier than I thought it would be. It feels incredibly right and it’s a huge relief.
Betsy helped me to acknowledge myself and stop fighting to be different. Somehow she explained myself to me. She bridged together pieces of my life that did not previously make sense. And left me with no words that I could continue to use to deny myself. I am so grateful.
When I talk with Betsy, I always feel better about myself, my life, and my relationships with the people around me. I feel like my life is back on track!
Betsy is a light worker and I love working with her. Every time we are done, I feel like I can change the world. Or at least myself.
