Hi! I'm
Scott Alfonso
Why Alfonso Mental Health
We at Scott Alfonso Mental Health Coaching believe that your journey should be supported from a multi-dimensional approach that fits into your lifestyle and schedule.
We like to think of a strong mental health program as creating a “roof” above our heads which will not only aid in sheltering us from the storms that life will always throw our way, but be the trustworthy pillars of strength that we always know are there.
Our Four Pillar Approach will act as the foundations to support your mental health “roof” and provide you with the skills and tools necessary to self-regulate and adapt in the future.
4 Foundational Pillars
1. STRENGTHS BASED APPROACH
We understand that there is no ‘one size fits all’ approach to mental health support.
This is why we work with our clients to tailor a program that works to their strengths, understanding what areas they are passionate about and where they could use extra support.
There is no point in creating a program that doesn’t speak directly to who you are and what you need.
Working together we can look to refine and hone your habits ensuring that they are offering you the best support in those moments.
This allows you to implement these strategies time and time again finding the fluidity when it comes to managing your mental well-being.
2. THERAPEUTIC ENGAGEMENT
Therapy has been shown to be a critically important aspect of mental health support.
Talking with a therapist not only helps us better understand what is happening in our lives but also better understand who we are as people and just how much we are truly capable of.
This can lead to a reduction in stress and anxiety leading to better emotional regulation. It helps to create space to identify roadblocks you may be facing in your life and in yourself allowing you to examine the possible roads to move forward.
Therapy is also beneficial in working through the trauma of our past which may contribute to the limiting core beliefs which may be holding you back today.
We seek to offer a range of different in person and online based therapy support for our clients so they can make it work for the schedule and budget.
No more worrying about the traffic to make it to an appointment or blocking off hours of your time. With options ranging from 15 min “check ins” to full 55 min sessions, there is something here for every level of engagement needed.
3. NUTRITION
With 20 years of experience working as a chef I understand not only the importance of a balanced diet but also the difficulties that you may encounter trying to execute it each day.
Food itself can be medicine not only for the body but also for the soul.
We believe that feeding yourself tasty, nutritious, and easy to prepare meals is an act of SELF LOVE, and you have three opportunities a day to practice it!
We will provide you with easy-to-follow recipes, ideas and videos so that this act of self-love becomes an enjoyable and regular part of your routine.
4. MINDFULNESS IN BREATH, MOVEMENT, AND MEDITATION
We believe that mindfulness provides the necessary element of introspection and awareness leading to healthier relationships with our mental health.
Learning to feel into your breath and your body allow for a deeper connection with not only yourself but with the world around you.
Benefits of mindfulness based practices include reduction of stress, anxiety and depression.
They have been shown to help improve sleep and create a higher level of awareness in the body and mind. When practiced regularly they have also been shown to aid in the creation and achievement of goals!
We understand that getting to the yoga studio for a practice can sometimes be difficult with all the other responsibilities you have in your life.
This is why we have a library of short yoga flows, meditation and breathwork exercises that you can access from your home, making it easier to fit into your busy schedule.
Flow, breathe and connect with an array of incredible teachers while moving your body and building that deeper connection to self.
