A coaching certification built exclusively for therapists
You want to coach. You want to do it ethically. And you want a program that actually teaches you how to coach, not just how to talk about it or sell it.
The Certification DIY is the self-paced version of my signature coaching certification. I built it from the ground up for therapists, social workers and other helping professionals who want to get fully trained, fully qualified and fully confident as coaches.
Let's Be Real: The Therapy World Is Changing
Clients are craving growth.
You're craving freedom.
And the old rules? They're not working anymore.
Coaching is the ethical next step for therapists who want more impact, more income and more freedom. You deserve a program that teaches you how to coach ethically, skillfully and in alignment with your values.

Spoiler Alert: You Don't Need to Wait for Live Calls to Become a Great Coach
The Certification DIY is for you if:
- You want flexibility
- You're self-motivated
- You want to get certified without rearranging your life
- You don't need live calls, but you want quality content
It's not for you if:
- You want community, live Q&As or direct access to Dr. Liz
- You're looking for a mindset-only course without skill development
- You're not ready to take self-paced action
- You want a fast-and-loose certification without ethical standards
- You plan to "kind of coach" but don't want to actually learn coaching skills
140+ therapists have gone through The Certification and changed their careers.
The Certification DIY is your chance to follow their lead, at your own pace.

Everything inside The Certification DIY
All the training you need to become a confident, certified coach, without syncing to a live schedule.
- 8 self-paced, therapist-informed coaching modules in an interactive learning portal, so you can learn between sessions, at night or whenever your caseload allows
- Module-specific workbooks to help you lock in each skill before you use it with real clients
- 60 ICF-approved coach training hours
- Weekly Sunday Strategy Sessions in your inbox to keep you moving forward every week
- Module completion certificates and a digital final certification you can show as proof of your coach training
- A private student Facebook community where you can ask questions and get support from peers and past students
Why a certification track is better than a regular course
A course hands you information. A certification track trains you in real coaching skills, gives you ICF-approved training hours and ends with a credential you can stand behind.
Inside The Certification DIY, you're eligible to earn:
- A Coaching Certification from The Coach Training Program for Helping Professionals
- 60 ICF-approved coach training hours
- Module completion certificates
- A digital final certification (frame it, flaunt it, own it)
You'll learn how to coach with integrity, grounded in both clinical wisdom and ICF standards.
Why learn from Dr. Liz?
I've trained 140+ therapists and helping professionals to coach.
And I've lived this myself. I'm a licensed clinical social worker, a PhD, a professor and a certified coach. I've worked with therapists, coaches, executives and helping professionals for 15+ years.
When I couldn't find a program that taught coaching ethically, with real skills and real integrity, I built one.
The Certification is everything I wish I had when I started. It's ICF-aligned, therapist-informed and 100% committed to helping you coach with confidence.
The Certification DIY is that same curriculum, built for your schedule, your goals and your next big move.
