Dr. Sydney Ceruto

 
Time – Most clients achieve their goals within 90 days, unlike traditional methods which can take years or even decades.
 
 
Cost – The old adage “you get what you pay for” could not be more applicable when it comes to working with a life coach to achieve your desired goals.
 
 
Qualifications  – Dr. Ceruto is a pioneer in the field of neurocoaching, she possesses an extensive psychological education along with 20+ years of experience.
 
 
Neuroscience, the differentiator – Billions of pathways in your brain light up every time you “think, feel, or do something.” If you want new habits to become ingrained in your daily life, then it is a matter of building and strengthening certain pathways while not reinforcing others.

I am very hands on and deeply invested in each clients success. I am very open about my own past struggles which helps my clients open up and truly feel that I understand what they are going through. 

I am no nonsense and do not waste a lot of time drudging up the past, but much more focused on the here and now. 

I am sincerely empathetic and although I will stretch you out of your comfort zone, I do it with tremendous support and emotional availability. 

I will never throw a question back to you, I give you the answer!

Sessions are either 60 minutes or 90 minutes

They can be conducted either on the phone or via any video platform. 

Packages are available which give you in between access to me via, phone, text or email & include curated reading material written specifically for each client to keep momentum moving in a forward trajectory. 

The reason traditional therapy, counseling, or coaching does not work is due to a combination of our default mindset, emotional processing, and a non-scientific approach. These antiquated methods fail to consider the physiological processes that come into play when trying to make changes in thoughts, feelings, and behaviors that are enduring.

Armed with recent findings in neuroscience, we now understand how these elements have a significant bearing on the lack of efficacy in traditional therapeutic methods.

To bring about real change requires an all-encompassing scientific approach that alters patterns of thinking and behavior right at the root. We must tweak, change, or abolish old ways of thinking, emoting, perceiving, and behaving to rewire the brain towards much more advantageous neural connections. This sort of solution requires just the right combination of SCIENCE and LIFE COACHING.

At MindLAB Life Coaching, I offer an innovative service that does just that, tailoring goals for change toward each client and his or her unique dynamics. With expert knowledge of how the brain works and why we continually fall victim to our defunct, flawed, and faulty thinking patterns, it is entirely possible to inspire sustainable behavioral and emotional change. We do this on a physiological level so that the client no longer has to be consciously aware of or continually working on their desired changes.

I am always available after we have completed our work together to reach out to for any questions or advice. 

I completed my doctoral education in the field of Cognitive & Behavioral Neuroscience at NYU & through hard work, I have become a leading specialist in Neuro Based Coaching. My specialty is in helping clients recognize their faulty thinking patterns, change undesirable behaviors, developmental & emotional resiliency, & gain mental clarity.

When I was a teenager, I tragically lost both my parents. As an only child, the loss of my family completely broke me. I became profoundly depressed & began suffering from chronic anxiety. I felt lost, & any form of happiness, confidence, or clarity, seemed a long way off.

Soon after, I began to pursue my education in psychology & neuroscience. Studying the mind-brain connection was indeed the paradigm for my healing & growth.

I created MindLAB Life Coaching almost two decades ago. I pioneered an integrative approach based on hard science that has genuinely changed the way people make positive &, more importantly, permanent changes in all areas of their lives. My program has debunked all the myths regarding the efficacy of “traditional therapy” & the sad misnomer that you need to be on a counselor’s couch for years or even decades.

Several publications have me on staff as a contributing writer. I am a proud member of the Forbes Executive Coaches Council, Positive Performance Coaching Alliance & Wharton Executive Education Program.

I have an avid intellect, a keen understanding of human nature, & an uncanny ability to connect deeply with my clients. I am hands-on, accessible, highly intuitive, compassionate & have been told … pretty funny as well!

Living in NYC & South Florida for 20 years, I still love both equally.

One of my passions is traveling, which I have done extensively. I am an enormous sports enthusiast & watch everything from football to to Formula 1 racing. I play golf as often as I can & yes, I do take the occasional mulligan. I enjoy dining out & sampling great food & wine. I have one son who just graduated from Princeton University and is working and attending law school in NYC. My second love is my 2lb Apple Head Chihuahua Lola!

$99 is for the first 1hr session which is meant for you to describe your goals and for Dr. Ceruto to explain how her customized program will help you achieve them.
