Looking for Coaching?

You’re in the right place! I’m Dr. Holly Cox (she/her), PhD, CHT, LMFT, a certified Positive Psychology coach. I specialize in online coaching for creatives feeling stuck, healthcare providers, relationship struggles, and chronic illness.

This image looks down a short hallway, lit with rainbow colored neon lights from all sides.

In addition to being a coach, I’m also a deeply spiritual person.


I meditate, I pray, and I think about the stuff the universe is made of… a lot.

A lot, a lot.

A Black woman with short curly hair wearing a bright yellow blazer and large gold earrings smiles at the camera, holding a tablet in one hand, and the other on her hip.

But coaching with me is not based on manifestation dogma or magical thinking. I’m an academic full of nerd joy, and I want to help you learn more about how to get your processes down to a science.

We’ll set concrete goals and develop specific strategies to meet those goals. When you leave a session with me, you’ll be clear on how you’ll move forward to create the life you want.

One of the key ways we work to make your goals reality is through homework. Yes, homework. I know, I know.

But I believe that one of the key differences between coaching and therapy is concrete homework that bridges the gap between our meetings.

With my therapy hat on, I am more than delighted to soak in the search for meaning and healing for as long as it takes. Therapy is a spiral that touches a trauma or a mental illness, then creates an expansive space to helpfully circle back again and again.

Coaching is a more linear pursuit toward specific outcomes and change – which have been identified by you!

We may work together in spurts to accomplish narrow goals. Written homework and in vivo exercises serve as lighthouses that are a beacon for us to track our progress.

I am a Positive Psychology junkie, and I believe that coaching grounded in peer-reviewed data is the best bang for your buck.

Speaking of Positive Psychology, this may sound like an obvious hot take – but I don’t think winners are made by always winning.

That is to say, pretty solid research tells us that what seems to matter is not how much you win, but how persistent you are in the face of failure. We call this “Grit,” and it is a better indicator of success than intelligence. (Someone should have told my 7th grade Algebra teacher this.)

That’s not to say I think you should fake it until you make it. But I think a pretty good predictor of happiness is not success, but interest and enthusiasm.

Through coaching, I help you figure out where your passion is leading you

— and how you can work towards claiming that path.
