If you’ve been waiting for the “right time” to explore coaching... spoiler alert: the time is now.

The economy doesn’t determine your success—your skill does.
And coaching? Coaching is a skill that opens more doors than burnout, bureaucracy, or another CE training ever will.

✹LISTEN UP✹

THIS IS NOT YOUR AVERAGE COACHING COURSE

Let’s get something straight:
I'm Dr. Liz Lasky - I’m not a life coach teaching therapy-adjacent content.

I’m a PhD, a licensed Social Worker and ICF-accredited coach who teaches therapists how to coach—ethically, skillfully, and with the depth we’re trained to bring.

I created the only coaching certification program designed specifically for licensed therapists by a licensed therapist—and it’s fully approved by the International Coaching Federation (ICF), the global gold standard in coaching.

FOUNDATIONS 2025 is your entry point.
No hype. No fluff. Just the real-deal clarity you need to decide if coaching is your next move.

THIS ISN’T JUST A COURSE. IT’S A CLARITY MISSION.

You’ve got the degrees. The hours. The scars and stories.

Now ask yourself:
Do I want to keep helping people the same old way...
or am I ready to evolve my work, my skills, and my income?

Coaching is not therapy. But if you’re a therapist? You’re already halfway there.

FOUNDATIONS 2025 will show you what coaching is, how it works, and whether it’s your future—or just your next smart experiment.

YOU’LL WALK AWAY WITH:

✅ A clear understanding of what coaching is—and what it isn’t
✅ A modern, evidence-based and ethical framework for applying coaching skills right now
✅ Insight into how your therapy background helps (and where you’ll need to grow)
✅ Real tools you can start using in sessions immediately
✅ The confidence to say YES (or NO) to coaching with full clarity
✅ A first glimpse into the ICF-approved path to becoming a certified coach through Coaching Mastery

THIS IS FOR YOU IF:

  • You’re already “kind of coaching” and want to do it right

  • You’re curious, but you don’t want to commit to a certification (yet)

  • You want to stay in scope, stay ethical, and still grow professionally

  • You want to future-proof your career with skills—not guesswork

  • You’re tired of generic coaching courses taught by people who don’t get therapy

  • You want to learn from the therapist who trains other therapists to coach—ICF approved and everything

Now Introducing...

Foundations 2025: The Coach-Curious Course

A 6-week experience for therapists & helping pros who are coaching-curious—and ready to explore their next chapter.

Foundations is a course designed by and for the coach-curious practitioner who’s been flirting with the idea of coaching for a while, and is ready to commit to something a little more serious—so they can finally figure out if they want to incorporate coaching into their daily practice.

Consider this course our very first date. It’s casual, fun, and we’ll spend lots of time getting to know each other. Along the way, you’ll discover a few new things about yourself.

By the end of it, we may even take it to the next level.

And you’ll have a true understanding of what a coach is, of your own ability to coach, and a way to incorporate it into your practice.

We'll meet on Wednesdays at 1pm ET on the following dates:
April 23, April 30, May 7, May 14, May 21, May 28, 2025.

Truth be told, I could sit here and spend all day talking about why this program is so dang phenomenal (and not just because I'm running it). Instead, I’ll let someone else do the talking for a bit.

Finally be able to honestly say, “I love the work I do!”

When You Join Foundations, Here’s What Our Time Together Will Look Like:

Welcome: Coaching & The Self Day 1

This is where it all begins!

We’ll start by reflecting on the definition of coaching,

And then move on to understanding the distinctions between coaching, consulting, psychotherapy, and other support professions.

This sets the stage for the rest of our time together.

Coaching & The Self Day 2

Next, you’ll discover how to use coaching thoughts and ideas as a helping professional.

Although coaching is very distinct, it overlaps with the support industry in many aspects.

That means you already have the right instincts, now it’s time to use them in a brand new way!

Planting Seeds for a Coaching Mindset

Moving on, we’ll explore how to develop a coaching mindset.

This is where we dive into the distinctions of coaching, and you’ll get to see how different it is from being a helping professional (in the best way possible)

Growing a Coaching Mindset

It’s time to cultivate your own sense of curiosity with coaching.

Although it will still be very new, it’s never too early to begin developing your own style of coaching—alongside increasing your confidence with your new skillset.

Coaching Presence: Are You Standing for Change or Stagnation?

Understand what coaching presence really is and learn how to transition into that state of mind so you are able to incorporate it into your practice as soon as your next session.

Coaching Presence: Own Your Chair

We’ll wrap up by contemplating the most effective and exciting ways to develop a reflective practice as a coach and a helping professional.

The  insights you take away from this will serve you for the rest of your professional career.

WHY FOUNDATIONS WORKS

Because it’s created by someone who gets it.

This isn’t some influencer’s take on coaching.
It’s not a mishmash of Instagram wisdom and vibes.

This is real coaching skill taught by a real therapist, backed by the ICF, and designed for people who want to do things right.

You don’t have to quit your job, ditch your license, or dive into a $10K certification just to see if this is for you.

Foundations 2025 gives you a real taste, real skills, and real clarity.

 

Foundations: The Coach-Curious Course is not for practitioners who...

 

Believe in the overnight overhaul AKA think they can become a coach and start a new practice overnight. You didn’t become a helping professional in 24 hours, and you won’t become a coach in 24 hours, either. Coaching is a profession and a separate discipline.

 

Are just in it for the money or think it’s some hidden shortcut to quickly hanging up their private practice shingle and making the big bucks.

 

Have no interest in upholding values, ethics, and direction rooted in the high standards of our industry. Just because you’re coaching doesn’t mean you get to diminish our standards of care. If anything, you should hold them in even higher regard.

Most of all, this course isn’t for anyone who isn’t willing to take this seriously. I’m here for a good time, I love to laugh and I promise our time together will be fun—but this is for people who are ready to get down to work.

Foundations is a course designed by and for the coach-curious practitioner who’s been flirting with the idea of coaching for a while, and is ready to commit to something a little more serious—so they can finally figure out if they want to incorporate coaching into their daily practice.

I'm really passionate about coaching.

(I’m also passionate about musical improv, the late Joan Rivers and long walks through Central Park).

This passion is why I continue to coach alongside my social work practice despite receiving bundles of hate mail from people who believe coaching is a watered-down industry filled with loose-moraled crooks.

IF YOU’RE READY TO:

đŸ”„ Feel less stuck and more powerful in your work
đŸ”„ Explore a new path without burning everything down
đŸ”„ Actually build a skill that changes how you show up
đŸ”„ Make career decisions based on clarity—not confusion
đŸ”„ Finally get off the fence and into aligned action...

Then Foundations 2025 is your next smart move.

"One thing I truly loved about this class was Liz’s energizing approach to teaching, coaching and building my confidence in utilizing these new skills."

I think this class is important for helping professionals because it makes you rethink your own goals, your approach and what is not only best for you but best for your clients.

Every hospital and agency should train their staff in coaching because collaboration with patients (and coworkers) is best practice. Coaching helps you re-envision your approach to build collaboration and providing the correct language to do so.

My favorite thing about learning from Dr. Liz is... Learning by using real life examples, practicing, her feedback!! It's very hard in our industry to have feedback on how you are doing, constructive feedback, etc.

What is Dr. Liz amazing at everything!! Really! She models the skills constantly, so not only are we learning them, practicing, she models them back. Hearing her do this makes it feel more natural and you can feel the effectiveness of it as well.

Dr. Liz does a great job of making everyone feel comfortable, but also pushing you out of your comfort zone. She is engaging, efficient, energizing besides being extremely knowledgeable. You can tell she loves what she is doing and hopes you will love it too!

~ Cindy Kosnick, Clinical Social Worker, CTPHP student

"Liz's enthusiasm for this topic is contagious!"

I appreciate her expertise in both psychotherapy and coaching as this made the training extremely relevant for my work in behavioral health.

My favorite thing about learning from Dr. Liz is her passion for supporting helping professionals. (It) is admirable and timely, given the high burn out from the pandemic.

Dr. Liz is amazing at creating change within the course participants, which will trickle down to clients and patients.

~ Lori Yoder, Manager, Clinical Care Social Work, Department of Psychiatry, Outpatient Services, Northwestern Medical Group

My name is Dr. Liz Lasky.

Ph.D., LCSW, Certified Coach & General Badass at Life 😎

My job is simple: I help you get what you want.

It all started when I was fresh out of school and seeing a therapist every week. I only did it because I thought that to be a good social worker, my brain needed to be SHRINK’D.

Every week I’d go to therapy, and leave feeling worse until I finally asked myself what the hell I was actually doing.

It wasn’t until I discovered coaching did I realize coaching was the change of pace I really desired. (sorry therapist)

Coaching was sexy, hot pink, and bedazzled AF.

It was brand new, so exciting, and just what this Doctor of Social Work ordered.

It gave me a renewed sense of purpose, another way to support my clients, and the power to show up and disrupt the status quo.

Now I run my own private practice, have been published in peer-reviewed journals about Coaching and Social Work, and teach coaching skills to helping professionals just like you.

Hang out with me, and I’ll teach you how to think bigger, get clarity and cultivate a vision bigger than what you ever knew was possible.
