Teri Whiteman - Change Coach Profile

As a Change Coach, it’s the navigation of my own life transitions that I find most valuable in helping others give rise to change in their lives. Eight years ago, I went through a health crisis which shook me to my core. Through that, I found the 3 Principles, or they found me! It was transformational in the sense of showing me a more graceful way to navigate life. I was able to see how these Principles are the flow that has carried me through many of my own life transitions, even when I was not aware of them. Understanding this has helped me move through life with less effort, which frees up energy to be alive to the experience of life.

I’m a huge lover of Nature! I see Nature as a partner in my coaching; a natural guide for how to live life with more ease and Grace. As a “True Nature” guide, I metaphorically walk beside clients with love and compassion, gently pointing them to the wisdom that flows through them. My greatest hope for clients is that, through understanding how the human experience works, they can embrace being human while living life free to be who they really are, without mental constraints. I think our greatest wish as humans is internal freedom.

I have been in the field of mental health and well-being for over 20 years, practicing as a Licensed Professional Counselor (LPC). With Covid and the rapid move to telehealth, there have been changes in state-to-state regulations for insurance coverage. I am an LPC in Missouri and until recently insurance would only cover clients who lived in the state I’m licensed in. That is changing so it’s possible for coaching sessions to be covered by insurance outside of the state of Missouri. Exciting News!
