1:1 Problem Solving Sessions
Suddenly you're faced with a challenge you never imagined.
A parent has recently been diagnosed with cancer. You're not sure if it's time to place a loved one on hospice. Your family isn't willing to help with eldercare. You know your parent needs to move into assisted living but you don't know how to talk to them. Your family can't seem to stop fighting. You fear you might cry at work from your grief.
Sometimes it helps to talk through these issues with a coach.
I offer these sessions for clients who aren't ready to commit to longer-term coaching packages but just want to schedule a session or two for a specific situation.
In this 90-minute sessions, I'll guide you through
- Framing the exact problem that's bothering you.
- Looking at your options and deciding on the next best step.
- Help you manage your anxiety about the action you have to take.
- Address any intense emotions that may hinder your ability to cope with the situation.
You know what you need to do. I'll help you find a strategy for both addressing the problem and getting yourself through the difficult experience.

Hi there. I'm Cindy Olney, PhD, a life coach, educational psychologist, and end-of-life doula.
The year of 2017 was the year of my personal threshold crossing. My mother started actively dying at the same time that my career of 15 years hit the skids. As I companioned my mother through her death, i knew I needed a fresh start. I vowed to get her to the other side, give notice at my job, and create a service that would guide and support people through death and loss toward a brighter future.
It felt so good as I sat deep into the night. Actually pulling off a major life changed after loss was a completely different story.
Yet I would not trade the life lessons for anything in the world. Nor my new sense of purpose: to accompany people through grief over loss and toward hope of a new, fulfilling life.
