Drawing from Dr. Fader’s performance coaching methods, our clinicians work to motivate and inspire clients to work at their highest level while also leading full and meaningful lives. Dr. Fader knows that performance coaching can help people be more productive and happier in work – and in life.
Work is just kind of stressful, right? Even if you love what you do, there will be ups and downs and rising challenges that are bound to cause some anxiety. How do you decide that it’s time for professional help? You don’t need to justify seeking job therapy or coaching services — most of us could use some outside help to feel happier and more on top of things at work. However, getting help for work-related stress becomes more urgent in certain scenarios:
There are many different ways jobs cause stress and anxiety, and the specifics of your situation will determine which treatment approach is best for you. Work stress therapy at Union Square Practice starts with performance coaching or psychotherapy informed by performance coaching methods.
Performance coaching is a systematic approach that pinpoints workplace dysfunctions and improvement opportunities and helps individuals or teams incorporate better practices. As an individual performance coaching client, you’ll meet one-on-one with your coach to discuss your job-related stressors. Your performance coach will help you identify the main targets for improvement and collaborate with you to set goals in these areas. Then they’ll develop a personalized strategic plan with practices to implement to reach these goals.
You and your coach will meet regularly to review the results of this new approach and assess the impact. You’ll continue fine-tuning strategies to target job stress and tackle the remaining pain points in your work experience. Performance coaching aims to change your mindset and approach to work so you are more empowered, more effective, and ultimately happier in your professional life.
Union Square Practice is uniquely positioned to offer exceptional performance coaching services to our clients. USP co-founder Dr. Jonathan Fader is a leader in the field of performance psychology, well-known for his work with the New York Mets and New York Giants and with professional athletes in Major League Baseball and the NFL. He regularly works with financial institutions, entrepreneurs, and major businesses in NYC applying the same performance techniques to the business arena.
Dr. Fader leads a team of USP therapists who specialize in coaching individuals in business, corporate settings, and many other careers to overcome stress and perform at their best.
In some cases, performance coaching alone is the right approach to work stress. Performance coaching offers practical steps that you can implement immediately to become more confident, productive, and empowered. These strategies create a positive feedback cycle, producing results that build on themselves to continue fighting work stress.
If your career stress stems from a deeper and more persistent type of anxiety, psychotherapy beyond coaching may be appropriate. In this case, Union Square Practice offers you the benefit of experienced therapy professionals who are also trained in Dr. Jonathan Fader’s highly successful performance coaching methods. You’ll undertake a deeper psychotherapeutic journey into the root causes of your anxiety while learning and implementing immediate practical techniques at work.
Working on a deeper level and a practical day-to-day level, our clients see steady improvements in both their personal and professional lives.
