Alex Mufson is the founder and CEO of Aspen Growth Coaching,
which is a team of "specialized coaches that help turn insight into
sustainable action, supporting individuals and families to move
towards a healthier life." Alex shares her journey into the field,
the history of Aspen
Growth Coaching, and how she went from helping animals to
helping families.
She reveals how Aspen Growth Coaching,
with its remote coaching model, filled a particular niche in the
field and the differences between coaching and therapy. She also
discusses what families should be looking for when hiring a
coach.
Alex's bio from the Aspen Growth Coaching
website: Alex holds a bachelor’s degree in Feminist Studies and is
a Licensed Clinical Social Worker who has worked in clinical
treatment, advocacy and coaching settings for 15 years. Her
experience as a therapist and parent coach in a residential
treatment setting includes leading a multidisciplinary treatment
team for adolescent girls and developing a unique animal-centered
therapy program. Alex’s background also includes well over a decade
working as a Certified Advocate for Domestic Violence Survivors and
coaching clients through major life transitions.
Always pushing the limits of conventional treatment, Alex is known
for encouraging her clients and her team to be curious and to look
for insight and inspiration in unlikely places. Clients often
describe Alex as simultaneously tough and caring and appreciate her
direct and clear-headed approach to relationships. Alex is of the
firm belief that good treatment starts with care for the provider,
and empowers her team to be radically innovative and
unapologetically bold in their professional and personal lives.
When not focused on AGC, you can find Alex outside with her crew of
five cattle dogs and four horses, or lifting weights and eating
lots of plants!
