HALO Coaching (Helping a Loved One)

The Three Paths of HALO Coaching

Path 1

Dr. Kern will work with you to get your loved one into treatment. Once your loved one starts moving in a positive direction, you can stop working with Dr. Kern, and your loved one can begin working with Dr. Kern in private, confidential sessions, just as you have enjoyed.

Path 2

Dr. Kern will work with you to get your loved one into treatment. When your loved one begins treatment, Dr. Kern will continue to be your coach and information resource. This approach helps you keep your loved one motivated while they are in treatment.

At the same time, the focus changes to helping you resolve your hurts, issues and emotions that have contributed to the evolution of the problem, and recognizing the fears that may be preventing you from being a healthier person yourself. Emotionally healthier, you are better able to sincerely promote your loved one's progress when he or she gets out of treatment. Dr. Kern's coaching includes how to handle any relapses and other issues that arise when your loved one becomes addiction-free.

Path 3

Dr. Kern will work with you exclusively if you anticipate that your loved one will never go into treatment. We never include your loved one in your sessions. Path #3 is an innovative approach supported by strong, clinical research.
