Can you come through hard times a stronger, happier, better person?
Stacia Dearmin, MD, Certified Professional Coach
Yes, you can!
I have learned first-hand that our hardest times often provide the greatest opportunity for growth.
Individualized coaching can support you as you:
find your way to heal after unexpected patient outcomes,
navigate the stress of malpractice litigation,
restore your joy in practice and in life.
The Injured Healer’s Heart
When a respected colleague and beloved friend had a heart attack as the jury in her case went out to deliberate, her body shouted what we all know. Adverse outcomes and malpractice lawsuits hurt.
Thrive is here to help with that.
Each healer has a unique story. Coaching offers a confidential place to understand your response to your situation without increasing legal risk. Together, we’ll explore your strengths and concerns in a thoughtful manner, helping you to safely:
Cut through the loneliness and isolation
Reduce overwhelm
Restore confidence and clarity.
Coaching can empower you to find what you need to come through with your heart, mind, and integrity intact.
How I Can Help
Coaching begins with a free, 30-minute consultation.
We’ll consider your situation, answer your questions, and determine whether coaching might or might not be the right fit for you. Either way, we’ll consider your next steps.
frequently asked questions
How Much Does Coaching Cost?
The answer depends on several factors. Clients reach out to me for a variety of reasons. When coaching seems to be an appropriate fit for their circumstance, we collaborate to design a package to best meet their needs. Most clients purchase a package including 8 to12 one-hour coaching sessions and many include my online CME course, “Deposition Magic,” although other packages are possible. Clients generally invest between $3000 and $4500, with many falling somewhere in the middle.
Do you offer CME?
As this one-on-one coaching is highly individualized and therefore its content somewhat variable and unpredictable, it is not possible to seek standard CME approval for it at this time. Nonetheless, many health systems now recognize the value of coaching. As such, coaching may be an appropriate use of professional development dollars or a tax-deductible expense. I am happy to provide the documentation you require for those processes.
Is Coaching a Good Use of My Time and Money?
Ask any physician who’s been through it, and many will tell you: An unexpected adverse outcome and/or malpractice litigation cause more stress and isolation for healers than virtually any other aspect of our work.
Malpractice litigation and adverse outcomes can be hard on our health and relationships, at home and at work. They drive some of us away from a career we’ve worked hard for, others of us toward addiction or other health problems, and many never fully recover the love of medicine.
By relieving isolation and finding the encouragement and support you need, you begin to restore a sense of some control. Every sphere of your life will benefit.
Do You Offer a Guarantee?
As a coach, I cannot guarantee your success, as success in coaching is entirely dependent on the client’s level of commitment and participation. What I can promise you is this: if you find that coaching does not provide you the hoped-for benefit, payment for all unused sessions will be fully refunded.
