Why We Don't Do Therapy.

Although we’re seasoned clinicians with extensive backgrounds in the mental health space, we NO LONGER practice as psychotherapists.


While we respect the work of therapy and are grateful for our personal and professional experiences with it, we find it incredibly limiting to the goal of helping clients meet their full potential.



At this stage of our careers, we prefer focused, effective techniques that result in lasting change. 

Therapy is focused primarily on two things: 

The Past

The Problem


While talking about the past is sometimes helpful to contextualize the present and plan for the future, it’s easy to get stuck there. We think most therapy clients would benefit from a more directive and results-driven approach. 


We also feel strongly that the goal of any therapist, teacher or coach should be to help clients get out of their own way and manifest the magnificent potential inside them. Focusing only on problems is not the way to do that. 


Rather than walk endlessly around the fire like most people do in therapy, we work with clients who are ready to walk into the fire and find the strength, drive and focus contained there.

Our Process

The good news is, we also feel–quite strongly–that 80-90% of your challenges are caused by how you think and behave. So, if you can change your ways of thinking and acting, life can get WAY better. And by better, we mean more enjoyable, productive, and inspired. 


We’ve helped people from all walks of life–some of whom had extreme obstacles in their way–heal from trauma, calm their minds, increase their earning power and job satisfaction, and most of all, create more satisfying, meaningful relationships. No matter what you’re facing, we KNOW we can help you. 


We feel it’s our job to mold our approach to you and your circumstances, not the other way around. For this reason, we know we can meet you where you are and help you get where you want to be. 


Finally, we believe in the Buddhist concept of “Dana.” In Sanskrit, Dana means “the perfection of giving.” In Zen circles, it means “giver and receiver are one.” 


The difference in what we do is that we’re sanctioned mindfulness teachers and longtime clinicians who have worked with thousands of clients. We know what WORKS and what DOES NOT WORK. We believe in slow, careful, lasting change–change that will serve you in all areas of your life, for the rest of your life. 

Are you ready to step into your power, purpose and potential?
Then you’re ready for Satori Coaching.

What is Satori Coaching? 

The culmination of our many decades as entrepreneurs, psychotherapists, and mindfulness teachers, Satori Coaching is a practical, effective approach to meeting your life goals. These goals may include the following: 

  • Interpersonal (improve relationship skills, create or save a relationship, ease family discord, etc.). 


  • External (increase EBITDA, be more productive, get in shape, advance career, etc.).



  • Internal/spiritual (less stress, better health, more calm, etc.)

How is Satori Coaching different from psychotherapy?

  • Psychotherapy is designed to diagnose and treat mental illness and is focused on the past and the problems. 


  • Satori Coaching is designed to identify strengths and improve areas of weakness. 


  • Psychotherapy typically eschews certain topics (for example, finances and physical health) which are very important to our coaching work.

How is Satori Coaching different from traditional coaching?

  • The vast majority of coaches either have little to no clinical background, and/or limited real-world experience. 


  • This means they’re less effective at helping clients identify and resolve the issues interfering with meeting their goals. 



  • Without a clinical context, traditional coaching approaches can be ineffective at best, and harmful at worst.
    Our practical, mindfulness-based, clinically-informed approach–    informed by our decades of successful experience–changes the whole game, and delivers unprecedented results.

Of all the approaches we’ve learned and practiced over 50+ years of combined experience, we’ve found Satori Coaching to be the most effective by a wide margin.



You’ll confront self-limiting beliefs. Be called on to face your pain. Called out on your non-working behaviors. Be challenged to be the best you possible, in all arenas of your life. 


Our approach isn’t for everyone. But if you’re ready to go on the journey, we’re ready to take you there.
