Brenda R. Deere, MA, LPA, CPC, CSRS
Certified Professional Life Coach, Certified Subconscious Restructuring Coach, Licensed Master's Level Psychologist in NC
Potential move to Florida in the works
As a psychologist for many years, Brenda has worked with hundreds of women dealing with issues such as weight loss, body image concerns, depression, menopause and other change of live difficulties, relocation blues, and low self-esteem issues. In many instances, she has dealt with these issues on a personal level and thus has a special insight into many of the problems that today's women face. She recently added Life Coaching in an effort to find new ways to help women discover how to become the best they can be! She uses humor and common sense methods to help clients figure out their goals and then achieve them. She has learned through experience that the possibilities for the life you seek are endless and attainable, and she want to help you get there! Her motto is "Yes, You Can!" (and she was using this well before the recent elections!)
What do you REALLY want the rest of your life to look like?
This question is not as simple as it may seem. It requires serious thought. What are your priorities? What are your goals? If a magic genie appeared and offered to grant you 3 wishes, what would they be? Life is full of wonderful possibilities, no matter how "stuck" you might feel right now. It is in your power to change the course of your future. Sometimes, however, it is difficult to see things clearly and get the motivation to move forward. This is where a Certified Life Coach can become your best ally and cheerleader. Brenda wants to help you achieve your goals in life. Her personal experience has taught her that permanent change is possible. One needs to look forward, not backward. A Life Coach can help you focus your goals, prioritize your desires, and motivate you to keep going, even when you feel like giving up! A Life Coach can help keep you on track! A Life Coach only feels successful when a client becomes successful! This is Brenda's goal for you. Stop THINKING about what you would like your life to be like and start DOING something about it! Brenda's motto is: YES YOU CAN! (And YES, SHE DID come up with that motto before Obama did!)
Are you ready for Healthy Change through Permanent Weight Loss?
Brenda struggled with weight issues almost her entire life. It has been her goal since high school to work with overweight women to lose weight in a healthy and realistic manner. She knows the emotional ups and downs involved the weight loss process, and has been where you are. It was not until she reached 50 years of age that she finally made the decision to lose weight ONCE AND FOR ALL. She discovered ways to enhance the weight loss process and to motivate clients to become responsible for their well-being. If there's a diet, she's been one it; if there's a gym, she's joined it; if there's an article, she's read it. But she never made the DECISION to finally conquer the problem for the LAST TIME. She lost 110 lbs. at the age of 50, and has kept the weight off for over 6 years now. As a psychologist, she has been treating women for binge eating and emotional eating for several years, and has recently decided to branch out into the Life Coach field where she feels she can work with women from all areas and walks of life, either in person, by telephone, or over the computer. She totally believes that if SHE can lose the weight and keep it off, ANYONE can! She wants to help you reach your goals, and feels that she has the skills to help you accomplish this. She knows what you've been through because she's been there. She is in the process of writing her first book, which will be titled, "It's Not the Diet, It's the Decision." It's time for you to make the decision!
About Brenda
Brenda graduated with a B.S. degree in Psychology in 1975. She feels fortunate that she was able to be a stay-at-home mom for her two daughters, now grown and gainfully employed. Brenda and her husband moved many times throughout the years because of his career, so she has experienced the best and worst of relocation. Throughout those years, she practiced psychology on her husband and two daughters! When her youngest daughter was in high school, Brenda decided to return to school to obtain her Master's degree in Clinical Psychology, subsequently becoming licensed in the state of NC, and has been in private practice for quite a while. Her Master's thesis was on weight, body-image and self-esteem issues in college aged women. She has always had a special interest in this population, since she experienced the social stigma of being overweight since she was a child. Having finally lost weight for the LAST time, she is fully qualified to help you reach your weight loss goals. She continued to expand her education in this area and has decided that branching out into the Life Coaching field is the best way to accomplish this goal. She knows your pain...she's been there...she's felt it...and she can help you clarify your goals and work towards permanent weight loss without resorting to surgery. She is confident she can get you where you want to be and would love to hear from you.

What People Say About Brenda
"Brenda has helped me figure out what is really important in my life. I was "stuck" and feeling overwhelmed. I felt that my past would always hold me back from accomplishing my goals. Not only did Brenda help me focus on the possibilities, but she continued to help me set new goals as old ones were accomplished. I recommend a Life Coach to anyone who wants to move forward in their lives, and I particularly recommend Brenda because she refuses to give up on her clients!"
