Here’s What Addiction Professionals Have to Say About Allan J. Katz: 

I worked alongside Allan. He is revered as second to none among his colleagues for his professionalism and compassion. I witnessed deeply profound and miraculous changes take place within the individuals he treated. He treated individuals for substance use disorder, sex and love addiction, trauma, relationship restoration and intimacy, mental health and personality disorders, and a variety of other issues. He pulled from multiple counseling theories to fit treatment to the individual. Some of these included, DBT, CBT, and experiential therapy. I watched transformations from broken to restored. His empathy allowed him to help those he worked with to dig deep and resolve things that had plagued them their entire life. He empowers others to be their authentic self and grow. Not only would I recommend Allan to anyone seeking help, I would trust him with my own family or even myself if the need arose.  Amanda Cocke, Former Senior Recovery Coach, Vertana Health of Mississippi.

Are you looking for a life coach or a professional counselor? 

Compared to life coaches, licensed professional counselors have master’s degrees in counseling, which involves six years of college, 2 years of full-time post Master’s Clinical work and supervision, state sanctioned testing for licensure and required continuing education.

To become a life coach, there is no college education required no state licensure and they can solicit clients within weeks of putting their shingle out.

If you’re looking for the very best life coach, hire a counselor (the original life coach). Call 901-248-6001 now.
