The Power of Change is in YOUR Hands

My approach to Life Coaching is based in the theory and research of Positive Psychology. Scientific studies show that we perform best when we are rewarded and acknowledged for our efforts. Individuals are more likely to feel happier when they are achieving their goals. Coaching helps you achieve your goals by identifying your strengths and using them to bring about change in your life.

Ava Barron-Shasho, MSW is a Life Coach who specializes in working with deaf and hard-of-hearing individuals.  What is life coaching you may ask?  If you have ever felt unmotivated, frustrated or disorganized, life coaching sessions are a time to focus on you. Ava has her Masters in Social Work and a Bachelor's in Psychology and brings 20 years of counseling experience to her Life Coaching practice.  She works with individuals in the Baltimore area and across the country. Her philosophy of life is that change is ALWAYS possible!
