Experience:

I know what it takes to manage life challenges while aiming for professional success and personal life satisfaction. I teach tools for attracting hope and desire. My coaching and counseling offers clients strategies for positive transformation and conflict management. With over 25 years of experience in the mental healthcare field I have successfully guided others toward their vision of well-being and wholeness. Nothing thrills me more than coaching others to become their own best coach.

With a very successful private practice in Clinical Psychology, specialty in Sports Psychology, and growing number of coaching certifications, I bring to the field of wellness coaching a myriad of rich life experiences among them overcoming an acute chronic illness, raising two successful kids with her spouse of 27 years and living and working abroad in Israel and Switzerland.

As an executive wellness coach, I draw on my sports psychology and nutrition backgrounds, as well, and make learning about mental-physical fitness fun. I coach people on how to acknowledge their potential, realize their vision for change, and compensate for their limitations by offering evidenced-based strategies and resources for optimal lifestyle redesign, and personal transformation. I customize my approach to the uniqueness of each of my clients.

Additional Personal Comments / Information:

In our complex and fast paced world, we are called on to make countless decisions: from what to eat, whom to be with, what to do or where to go. "Decision Overload" dampens our creativity to make and achieve our long-range plans and short-term goals, and robs us of the joy of spontaneously living in the present moment.

Using a collaborative approach, Dr. Unger brings her clients' passion, reason for growth and vision for a better future, to life.
