Synergizing Coaching + Psychotherapy: A Conversation with Arian Mahini & Dr. Yakov Barton

Arian Mahini, Career + Relationship Coach at Oakland Psych

by Dr. Yakov Barton

In this conversation with Oakland Psych career and relationship coach Arian Mahini, we explore the unique and overlapping qualities of coaching and psychotherapy, as well how the two can best synergize to support holistic growth. Arian provides a compelling introduction to the ontological coaching philosophy, and we discuss how both approaches can utilize the internal family systems (IFS) frame in supporting self-leadership and autonomy.
