About Your Life Options

The Marriage at the Crossroads System & 11th Hour Relationship Coaching
are services of Your Life Options Coaching, Counseling and Mediation.

Your Life Options was created in 2003 by Max August after 20 years of research and experience as a Marriage & Family Therapist.

Based on personal experience, as well as my work with hundreds of clients, it became clear to me that the act of choosing was an essential element of happiness. The research of Martin Seligman, which led to the development of  Positive Psychology, supports this simple idea.

I specialize in working with individuals and couples in the “11th hour” of their relationship who would like to either “turn back the clock” and get back the love they’ve lost, or move on with integrity, respect and grace to the next chapter of their life by using mediation or the Collaborative Divorce process.

The purpose of Your Life Options is to help individuals and families through major life transitions like . . .

  • choosing whether to stay in or leave a relationship,
    • If staying . . .
      • help the couple make better choices in their relationship,
      • help the couple connect on a deeper level
    • If leaving . . .
      • do it with integrity, respect & grace.
  • after separation support,
  • pre-divorce coaching,
  • divorce coaching,
  • post-divorce coaching,
  • finding and connecting up with new partners, and
  • working together as a blended family.

Clients have said that I have helped them to . . .

  • be present – more in the now,
  • explore the options, or choices, available to them,
  • discover their true potential,
  • develop new skills,
  • plan for the future,
  • make choices that are fulfilling, and
  • move forward with their lives.

As your coach I will support you in making the changes you want in your life, and in your relationships.

I will be your ally, guide, and co-creative partner.

The choices you make are ultimately yours, but having a supportive, professional coach will improve the quality of your choices.

If you choose to begin or stay in a relationship,
I can help you and your partner co-create the relationship you want.

If you choose to end a relationship,
I can help you end it with integrity, respect and grace
.

There are three specific specific areas of coaching that I am interested in:

Collaborative Divorce Coaching helps you explore options for divorcing you may not have thought about. It is a supportive relationship that can help you in setting priorities, planning, acting on the plan, building communication and negotiation skills. Collaborative Divorce Coaching helps reduce the chaos and stress experienced as a consequence of separation and divorce.

Active Parent Coaching helps you explore options and develop skills as a parent and a co-parent. It can help you navigate through the hostility and conflict that often occurs around communication with the other parent.

Relationship Coaching helps you define what you want in a relationship, how to communicate it to yourself and others, and how to get the relationship you’d like to have now and in the future.
