Dr. Grinspoon’s Coaching
I am a certified health and wellness coach and there’s nothing I love more than helping people clarify their goals and realize their dreams. It is fair to say that I have spent my entire adult life caring for people and helping them enact change.
Most of my career has been spent as a primary care doctor at Harvard Medical taking care of patients ranging from the very well-to-do to the most impoverished inner-city residents. There are very few scenarios that I have not come across and been asked to assist with, and this wide range of experiences forms an exceptionally broad background of problem solving.
I engage as a coach with respect, compassion, humility – and with a wealth of experience — with which I work with clients as they discover their own paths toward their personal goals.
Having clawed my way back from a crippling opiate addiction in the mid 2000’s, I understand what it is to be down, to lose everything, to struggle, and to reinvent oneself. I directly apply this hard-won understanding to my coaching practice.
I feel that there is a great overlap between the tools we utilize in transitioning from “addicted” to “recovered” with the skills we apply in coaching.
I’m a huge believer in the idea that we can take control of our lives, that we can grow and change, and that we can design the future that we want for ourselves.
