A Middle Path Between Endless Therapy and Quick-Fix Advice
I'm Eitan, a certified schema coach trained at the Schema Coaching Academy, and also a rabbi, licensed tour guide, husband, and father. I work with thoughtful people on the patterns that quietly run in the background of your life. Here's the thinking behind Deep-Change Coaching.
Why this approach
Deep-Change Coaching is my plain-language name for schema-coaching. The clinical term. "schema therapy/coaching," is one I happen to love (my BA is in philosophy), but it means very little to most people. So I use a name that describes what it actually does.
Traditional therapy is open-ended and can run for years without a clear finish line. Most coaching is focused and effective, but stays on the surface, solving the problem in front of you and moving on. Both are valuable. But there is a largely missing middle: work that goes deep enough to reach the root, while still committing to a specific goal inside a defined timetable.
That missing middle is what I provide. We go after the real, underlying cause of what keeps recurring, and we do it on a schedule you can see the end of.
How I work
I take the useful tools from coaching, mindfulness, and CBT seriously, and I use them. But I treat them as part of a larger project: not just pushing through a barrier, but removing it, so those tools stop being necessary in the first place.
The work is collaborative and concrete. We name what we're aiming at, map the patterns underneath it, and work back to the source together. You stay in the driver's seat the whole way. I'm there to help you see the road clearly and fill in the potholes.
Trained & certified I'm certified by the Schema Coaching Academy, where I completed their training in the schema-based approach this practice is built on.
A NOTE ON MY LIMITATIONS
Deep-Change Coaching draws on the framework of schema therapy, but it is coaching, not psychotherapy, and not a substitute for mental-health treatment. It's for capable people who want to change a stubborn pattern, not for managing acute mental illness or crisis.
If you're dealing with something that needs clinical care, I'll say so honestly, and I'm glad to help you think about the right kind of support. Being clear about that boundary is part of doing this work responsibly.
