Hello! I’m Dena Otrin

People seek counseling when they have a need for guidance and direction to handle important and often stressful situations and are open to learning new strategies to cope with or overcome obstacles in their lives.

A counselor can provide the ability to look at a problem objectively and identify the steps and goals needed to move towards a healthy resolution.

At Bayside Counseling we provide our clients with the support and guidance they need to achieve their goals while maintaining a high standard of professionalism and respect for individuality and privacy.

Dena helped me navigate through an extreme personal crisis. I believe that she saved my life. It was difficult for me to ask for help so I encourage anyone who’s facing an emotional hardship to seek Dena’s advice.

Life Coaching for Adults

AVAILABLE REMOTELY VIA ZOOM

Are you facing a life transition (planned or unexpected) that has you on shaky ground?

Are you wondering “what’s next” in your life because you know something needs to change?

Are you feeling stuck, unfulfilled in life or business, and ready to stop living on autopilot?

Do you want more for your life?

If you answered “Yes” then you are in the right place!
“So what makes me the right choice?” As a Holistic Life Coach with 23 years of expertise as a Licensed Professional Counselor, I am uniquely qualified to help you. I have guided hundreds of women to their desired destination in life and I can help you too!

Working together, you will move from being stuck, frustrated and thinking things will never change to having a direction, with specific goals and new ideas to promote you to step out of your comfort zone to create a happier, more aligned and purposeful life and achieve your personal or business aspirations.

How does Life Coaching differ from Counseling?

*With Life Coaching we focus on where you are right now in life, what you would like to change for your future and there is no focus on past unresolved issues or mental health concerns.

*There is no Diagnosis required in Life Coaching. In Counseling, a diagnosis is required when using insurance and becomes a part of your medical records.

*There is no insurance reimbursement for Life Coaching.

*Life Coaching allows us to work together wherever you are in the world. There's no geographical limitation!
