Jonathan Erickson

The results and goals are client-centered, meaning I will ask you what you want out of coaching in general, and also what you want out of each session.  I focus on individual development rather than a one-size-fits all coaching package of coaching techniques.

I pride myself on being a great listener and a solid, caring presence.  I show up to each session ready to offer empathic support, clear analysis and insight, and (if you want!) firm but gentle accountability as you pursue your goals.

I largely follow the ICF model of coaching which prioretizing asking the right questins over overtly giving direction.  Wherever possible, I want to put you in touch with your own wisdom and power.

Beyond that, I have a tool kit that draws on depth psychogy, somatic psychology, trauma theory, neuroscience, and narrative coaching.  Tell me what you are interested in trying and we will find an approach that works for you.

Although I do offer drop-in sessions, most of my clients buy discounted monthly packages of 4 coaching sessions (to be used within 8 weeks). Generally clients have better outcomes when they commit to a process that unfolds over time.  Standard sessions last about 50 minutes, though some clients arrange shorter or longer sessions to fit their needs.

I am currently doing the majority of my client sessions via zoom.

I will be offering my next round of group coaching later this year.  If you are interested in joining, please get in touch and I will add you to my list.

I have been working in private practice as a coach since 2014.

In addition, I am adjunct faculty teaching depth psychology and somatics at Pacifica Graduate Institute, and I also teach trauma-informed coaching at Radiant Coaches Academy.

In my earlier professional life, I was massage therapist (trained at the Esalen Institute) and yoga teacher, so I have a long history of helping people heal and grow.

A limited number of sliding scale positions are available to low and middle income clients. If you fall into this category and want to request a sliding scale discount, please get in touch directly and tell me a little bit about your situation.
