What is Life Coaching?
Understanding Life Coaching with Christy Maxey, Phoenix AZ
What Is Coaching?
Clarity. Confidence. Change That Lasts.
You’ve probably heard about life coaching — but what is it, really?
Life coaching is a powerful, forward-focused process designed to help you understand yourself on a deeper level, identify what’s holding you back, and create meaningful, lasting change.
As a former therapist turned Life Coach, Christy Maxey, MC, Life Coach, Author, and Founder of The Maxx Method™, blends proven psychology, emotional intelligence, and neuroscience-based tools to help you transform how you think, feel, and live.
How Life Coaching Differs from Therapy
While therapy often focuses on healing the past, coaching focuses on building your future.
Christy helps clients shift from awareness to action — giving you tools to make real progress in your relationships, career, and sense of self.
Therapy
Focuses on healing and processing the past
Addresses trauma and mental health concerns
Often long-term and diagnostic
Therapist-client relationship
Coaching
Focuses on growth, goals, and transformation
Builds habits and emotional intelligence
Practical, results-driven, and empowering
Collaborative partnership
Christy’s unique approach combines the best of both worlds — the insight of therapy with the momentum of coaching.
