Mental Health Crisis? Why Are Mental Health Coaches in Such High Demand?

Mental Health Issues? We’ve all seen the insanity over the past 2 years with the pandemic. The political unrest, now with the war overseas, the vaccine debate… There have been so many challenges that the world has gone through.


And then add on top of those people who have lost jobs, lost homes, have gone through divorces or relationship breakups, have lost pets,… and their freedom to move around as we’ve known for years!


The number one demand that we see growing exponentially in this world is the need for certified mental health coaches. Individuals who are interested in dedicating their time and expertise to helping people who are struggling with one or more serious challenges in today’s world.


It might be depression for someone, someone else might be struggling with anxiety or insomnia, another person could be going through a PTSD experience, someone else could have lost their parents or their loved one due to the pandemic or other reasons.


And then one of the greatest addictions we see growing on a daily basis is procrastination!


So many people are delaying taking care of their mental health, their physical health, their spiritual path, and their major goals in life… We see this every day in my professional practice of 43 years, people struggling to get moving in the direction of their goals.


As someone who struggled for years with addiction, which is by the way on the rise dramatically all over the world, depression, and anxiety… I can tell you that it’s almost impossible, even as a counselor, coach, and minister, to heal our own internal mental issues.


I could only heal after I reached out and asked for professional help from other counselors, and the results have been, thank God, life-saving.

But what about you? Or your neighbors? Or your coworkers? Maybe your best friend? Or your partner? Family members?


Are they equipped with the tools necessary to go through these incredibly challenging times, where irritability and anger are also on an all-time rise!


The American Psychological Association came out with a survey, that even backs the need for more mental health certified coaches than ever before:


Number One. They found that 80% of couples responded that their relationships have never been in worse shape than they are right now.


Number Two. 79% of respondents said they do not have the emotional coping skills to deal with everything going on in the pandemic like anxiety, depression, anger, addiction, relationship challenges, and more.


Number Three. 40% of respondents and I think this is way under-reported, said that they were struggling with anxiety, depression or both! In my personal practice, we see about 70% or more of our clients regardless of what they’re working with me on, are struggling with low-grade anxiety and low-grade depression.


So what’s the solution?


We made a decision many months ago to start to create “an army of certified mental health coaches“, that can go out into this world and help people learn the basic origin and solution for all of the mental health issues were going through.


I began certifying master life coaches in 1996, and this updated version is the most detailed and in-depth program I’ve ever seen in all the years of this work.


These coaches will empower their clients, to take responsibility for a part of their own healing, not to replace medical doctors and medication, but rather to give our clients the tools necessary to be able to begin the healing process on their own.


And there are 1 million tools out there today from the world of therapy and coaching, from the world of spirituality and amino acid supplementation, and from tools like cognitive behavioral therapy that can make a huge difference in the lives of people struggling right now!

Buy my best guess, over 80% of the world’s population is sincerely struggling with one of the above conditions.


We created a brand new program, “The Mental Health and Master Life Coach Certification“, to answer the needs of the world today!


This 30-hour certification will give you a basic understanding of how you can stand as an accountability partner for your clients, and help them move from where they are right now to where they really want to be in life.


Almost every counselor and life coach I have talked to has said the same thing: they are overwhelmed with the number of people that need their help, and many of them are falling behind because they cannot help as many people as they would like to.


And here is where you come in: In taking the certification, you will become one of the leaders, one of the healers of the mental health movement, which will allow you to not only help people heal but also it will give you an opportunity to create either a part-time or a full-time income as a certified mental health coach.


It’s also a way to give back to society, to become of greater service, and in my 43 years of doing this work, there’s nothing else I’d rather do than to see my clients rise above their current situation and create the life that they desire and deserve!


Won’t you join us today? We have certifications on going either in person in Fort Myers, Florida or via zoom so people can become certified from anywhere in the world.


I am the only one teaching this certification, so yes you will be working with me through the full time that we are together, and as usual, I will be available to assist these newly certified coaches once they’ve completed their work.


Now is the time to heal ourselves, and also now is the time to go out and do as much as we can to heal others.


I am here, I am ready, join me won’t you?“

I sit here today, like many people, looking back at the last five years and understanding the struggle that most of us have been going through. Like me, you might be experiencing a holiday season without a loved one Like me you might be experiencing a holiday season that has been preceded by several years of deep trauma, that for many of us is a part of our lives… Even though we wish it wasn’t. In the struggles we’ve all faced, I think it’s so important to figure out what we’re learning about ourselves, what we’re learning about our belief systems, what we’re learning about self-care and how we treat others. Normally people do these posts on January 1 getting everyone ready for the new year, but I wanted to do it today because 2026 is in our hands, it can be complete crap, or it can be something quite different. It really depends on our perspective, our mindset, and how we’re willing to change what isn’t working now into what will work in the near future. Some of us have had incredible health struggles. Others have had relationship break ups. Others have gone through Divorce. Others have gone through financial collapse. Others have tried to figure out the whole world of grieving, after losing a loved one when they’ve never been in that position before. Others have struggled with finding the right job, the right career Others have struggled with deep mental health issues, anxiety, depression, mental issues. So we come to this point, and we can either hold onto the struggles that we’ve gone through over the last five years or we can slowly start to release them and look for tools that are all over the place and how to change our mindset how to change our subconscious mind and how to expect the best after five years of hell for many of us. Is it possible? Hell, yes! But we have to decide now… How we’re going to strengthen our mental health, how we’re going to improve our physical health, how we’re going to improve our relationships, how we’re going to improve our financial situation, how we’re going to improve anything else not mentioned here that has been a stressful experience for us in the past. Many of us will find solace in a deep connection by going deeper into your spiritual or religious experiences. Others will find solace by finding a mentor, counselor, teacher who can assist us because they’ve already been in the situation we’re currently facing. Others will find solace “community“, whether it’s business groups or Recovery, groups, or mastermind groups, community could be the answer for many people who are struggling right now. Others will find solace simply by letting go! By releasing the constant grind… By releasing the Constant need to “have more buy more“ Others will find solace by going deeper into the world of volunteerism, whether it’s pet shelters or reading to the blind, there’s so many different ways that you can start to shift your identity from struggle to service. Others will find solace by going into the creative world, by learning a musical instrument or learning how to draw or paint or woodwork or some other type of hobby that allows them to tap into different parts of the brain to continue to grow as a human being, not to get stuck in the negativity. I have clients that have found great solace in the last six months by completely getting off of all social media. I have clients in the last six months that found solace by completely eliminating anything to do with the news or political conversations. I have clients in the last year that never believe they’d be able to meditate or learn diaphragmatic breathing or learn emotional regulation or lose 50 to 100 pounds and yet they’ve all done it in the last 12 months! But it didn’t happen because they started 30 days ago it’s happened because they started 12 months ago which is the whole purpose of my article here! Now is the time my brothers and sisters to begin the change! Now is the time to start to really learn about the power of your subconscious mind and how to turn it into one of the greatest assets you’ve ever had in your life and I promise you this… If you learn how to master The subconscious mind in 12 months, you’ll be a completely different person potentially in every area of your life! I’ve seen that happen in my life! I’ve seen it happen in thousands of thousands of clients that I’ve worked with over the past 50 years… Their lives completely changed in a year or less! This is why I am Asking you to strongly consider taking the time now up until January 1 to really get yourself going so on January 2 you know what you’re gonna be doing every day in order to shatter the old triggers, to shatter the old fears and insecurities, and to bring you to the place that you want to be financially, relationship, wise, healthwise, mentally, emotionally… I want you in 12 months or less to be exactly where you want to be and I know you can do it because I’ve seen it happen over 1000 times! You have the power to radically change your life right now if you so desire! You have the power to completely turn around anything that has been a trigger, and turn it into a non-event! Believe in yourself! Believe even deeper in yourself! I am wishing you the most amazing radical change if that is what’s necessary in your life, so you can live the life of your desires, your dreams and create at the same time opportunities for others to see what’s possible… You become the role model for success! I’m sending you so much love, so much joy, and a prayer that you take 2026 seriously enough to begin in writing the daily rituals that you will start to follow in order to create what you deserve. With love, David
