CUTV News Radio spotlights Dr. Marilyn Margiotti

San Francisco, CA – While most consider therapy and coaching two completely separate disciplines, all agree that a background in counseling enhances coaching. Both share an intention of changing the neural pathways in the brain to improve the lives of their clients.

Dr. Marilyn Margiotti offers both psychotherapy and couples counseling to clients, as well as personal and executive coaching.

“Coaching and therapy are different ways of offering guidance to people,” says Dr. Margiotti. “As a therapist, you have to be a detective of sorts, listening for what people aren’t saying, or for the contradictions in what they are saying. Coaching is a different methodology. It is about helping people move from their normal level of functioning to realizing their potential.”

Dr. Margiotti says coaching is its most useful when helping individuals navigate profound transitions. She says it’s about finding out where the person is, what they want to achieve, removing the obstacles in the way, and helping them develop to reach their potential. 

Dr. Margiotti dedicates much of her executive coaching to helping clients develop Emotional Intelligence skills.

“Emotional Intelligence fits with what I’ve done my entire career, helping people understand their own emotions, not be overwhelmed by them, but instead use them as a guide.  A person can then make use of their thoughts and feelings to choose how to act or react,” says Dr. Margiotti. “A great deal has been learned about the ways Emotional Intelligence helps people to be successful and thrive. I’m proud of helping people grow, develop and thrive in life.”
