what is a lifestyle counselor?

A Lifestyle Counselor® is a professional trained to help people modify their lifestyles to achieve quality-of-life goals.

Lifestyle Counselors help clients gain control over their weight, learn to manage stress, give up smoking, improve their level of fitness and make many other improvements to their lifestyles. Lifestyle Counselors are trained to work with the individual on changing the various aspects of his or her life that present obstacles to attaining goals. The Lifestyle Counselor helps to modify attitudes, cognition, emotions and goals so that behavioral changes take root.

Lifestyle Counselors are a new generation of service providers who are cross-trained in the disciplines that help people change their behavioral patterns.Whereas other professionals such as therapists, dieticians and fitness trainers focus on a single component of wellness, the Lifestyle Counselor provides guidance across a variety of disciplines. ®Lifestyle Counselor trademark registered by American Association of Lifestyle Counselors
