FAQ

How can I do TheraCoaching with you?
All sessions are in the comfort of your home, office, and for some, on their drive to or from work. I can do virtual (via HIPPA-compliant Zoom) or telehealth.
What are your office hours?
The hours are flexible and accommodate client needs. Monday – Thursday 8 AM – 8 PM and Fridays 8 AM – Noon. I offer some Saturday hours, but these are more exceptions than the rule.
What is the length of each session?
Each session, because it is both therapeutic and coaching, is 60 minutes.
How do I set my initial appointment?
Once you have the Free consultation and are ready to work with me, I will set up your initial appointment. However, subsequent sessions will occur once we have determined a day and time that best works for you and your partner.
Do you take my insurance?
I do not offer insurance-based payment because my services focus heavily on coaching. The coaching tools are a way to ensure shorter term Theracoaching sessions with outstanding outcomes.
What is your cancellation policy?

Late notice cancellations disrupt our schedule. We can’t offer that time slot to someone else who may need it.

More importantly, I hope you are as committed to your goals as I am to helping you reach them. And cancellation will delay our work together.

What can you expect from Dr. Nilda?
As your therapist and coach, I will always be prepared, present, and whatever comes up that I may not know, I promise to always follow up with a well-researched answer.
What will I have to do?
Our work together is a joint effort. For this reason, having your total commitment to yourself and your goals is crucial. The only way to ensure you reach your goal(s) is your commitment to meeting them, just as I commit even now to helping you achieve them.
How is TheraCoaching different?
TheraCoaching is an innovative approach that merges the principles of traditional therapy with coaching techniques and leadership processes. Its design empowers clients and helps them construct their desired lives while progressively gaining autonomy and taking ownership of themselves.
Who is the right candidate for TheraCoaching?

TheraCoaching benefits individuals seeking a holistic and innovative personal growth and development approach. It is ideal for those with a vision for their future who want to break free from negative patterns, seek practical solutions and tools, and desire self-empowerment and autonomy.

It is for those that value a collaborative partnership in meeting their goals and are open to merging therapy and coaching. It is important to note that TheraCoaching may be unsuitable for individuals requiring immediate crisis intervention, those with severe mental health conditions, and those not actively committed to personal growth and change.

What are the benefits of TheraCoaching?
TheraCoaching offers transformative change, empowering clients to recognize and break free from negative patterns, understand themselves deeply, and develop effective strategies to overcome obstacles. It helps clients gain a sense of agency, empowerment, self-confidence, and self-actualization.
What makes you qualified to do this work?

The coach in TheraCoaching is a guide, instructor, and facilitator knowledgeable in therapeutic methods and processes and simultaneously an expert coach.

My qualifications include the following: Doctorate of Leadership in Strategic Foresight; Master of Clinical Social Work; Certified Coach in Life, Career, and Executive Coaching; and Certified NLP Coach.

I also have 29 years of experience in Behavioral Health.

I attained all these for the very purpose of helping others reach their goals and exceed their expectation no matter what level of education they have.

How did you get into TheraCoaching?

For many years my dad, a very successful businessman with five businesses and a second-grade education, insisted that I was missing my calling. He said, “You are wasting your time and energy working for others when you can do a better job working for yourself.” It took losing my job to immerse myself in this work I am passionate about.

How would you describe yourself as TheraCoach?
I am your biggest supporter, friend, and cheerleader. I share stories when applicable to explain points. I am also direct and upfront, yet always humorous and kind. I care!
Can you TheraCoach in another language?
Yes. I am proficient in both English and Spanish.
