What is financial coaching?

At Panacea Behavioral Health & Wellness Center, financial coaching integrates financial management with mental and emotional well-being. It involves a personalized, goal-oriented process in which your coach helps you understand your financial situation, develop better money management skills, and create a sustainable financial plan. 

Your coach can also help reduce your stress, anxiety, and other emotional issues related to financial instability. They work alongside you and can bring in other wellness professionals, giving you a holistic approach to improving your overall quality of life.

How does financial counseling work?

Financial counseling is a structured yet flexible process tailored to your needs. Initially, your coach conducts an assessment to understand your financial situation, goals, and challenges. This includes reviewing your:

  • Income
  • Expenses
  • Debts
  • Savings
  • Financial habits

Based on this assessment, your coach helps you set realistic financial goals and develop a plan to achieve them, which may involve:

  • Budgeting
  • Debt management
  • Saving strategies
  • Building credit

Your coach holds regular sessions to track your progress, adjust your plan as necessary, and provide continuous support and education. They focus on empowering you with knowledge and skills so you can manage your finances independently.

Am I a candidate for financial coaching?

You might be a candidate for financial coaching if you face challenges managing your finances, have financial goals you struggle to achieve, or experience stress related to money. 

Specific indicators include:

  • Living paycheck to paycheck
  • Carrying significant debt
  • Lacking savings
  • Feeling overwhelmed by financial decisions

In addition, if you’re undergoing major life transitions like marriage, divorce, starting a family, or planning for retirement, financial coaching can be particularly beneficial for you.
