All I can say is research any "life coach" you find, and then research some more.

We had an ex-Navy pilot in our squadron who accidentally let it slip that he was a "life coach" by leaving his "Captain Larry Life Coach" webpage up on a squadron computer.

Good enough pilot, but I wouldn't take his advice on where to go to lunch, much less how to handle life decisions.

He was doing it as a.... well, not quite a scam.... but an easy way to make money from the gullible who were impressed by his website. He had about as much training in life coaching as I do. Just because you can drive a jet, doesn't mean that your personal life isn't a train wreck.

MAKE SURE that whoever you pick has certifications, training, and licensing.

PS: He was ridiculed *unmercifully*-- and his life coaching business went away shortly.

PPS: Good Luck, and good on you for stepping up. This sounds like a tough row to hoe.
