Liz Staples

I am a Coach and Licensed Professional Counselor in Austin, Texas. I have over 13 years of experience providing psychotherapy and coaching services in the US and abroad. In my client’s experience and my own, I’ve witnessed the combination of these 2 disciplines creating a powerhouse for change! In practice, this approach is a focus on the present, visualizing your future and addressing the past if and when it may be blocking your ability to move forward. Due to this exponential growth, I only take on clients who are seeking primarily coaching or coaching and therapy services. The type of coaching I practice can best be described as Performance Coaching. Performance is how an individual does anything and everything; for example, how is one functioning and carrying out daily tasks? I help my clients make improvements on their everyday performance to reach their long-term performance goals. I help clients who seek improvement related to their health and wellness (including sleep, nutrition and fitness), at work as Senior and Executive members of their companies (including leadership styles, communication, and fostering relationships), as well as Entrepreneurs and Creatives (including removing blocks, creating efficient systems and getting back to the joy of their art.) No matter the performance area, from athlete to salesperson, the solution always comes down to mindset. I teach clients how to embody concepts such as moving through life mindfully; continuously accepting one’s current reality, without judgement, in order to make changes in the present moment. We remove behaviors and beliefs that do not serve you and learn to cultivate a new, more empowering self. Practicing this embodiment of mindfulness includes understanding one isn’t their mind; helping individuals separate from their over-identified thoughts and emotions and ultimately, mastering their mind. My style can best be described as direct and compassionate; I’m honest and kind in my approach of being a mirror in our sessions to reflect what I am seeing. Forward movement always will be our motto as we keep our attention on daily improvement and witnessing yourself getting better each day! I care about the outcomes of my clients and want you to get what you’re needing each and every session. I look forward to working with you!
