Introduction

As a Breakthrough Coach, I specialize in guiding individuals through major life transitions—whether it's navigating loss, rebounding from a public setback, stepping into an unfamiliar role, or even winning the lottery. My clients often come to me feeling uncertain, ready for change but unsure of their next steps. Coaching offers a forward-focused, action-oriented alternative to counseling. While counseling tends to delve into past experiences and emotional healing, Coaching is all about setting goals, building skills, and crafting strategies for future success. It’s a proactive, collaborative partnership designed to foster personal growth and achieve meaningful, tangible outcomes. One of the unique benefits of Coaching is the confidential and neutral space it provides for addressing personal or professional challenges. For those who may feel uneasy with the "therapeutic" or "diagnostic" aspects of counseling, Coaching creates a supportive environment focused on growth, problem-solving, and forward momentum. Using practical, results-driven strategies, I help my clients rebuild confidence, set clear, achievable goals, and break free from limiting patterns. As a guide, mentor, or partner, I take the time to listen closely to their challenges and aspirations, ensuring they feel understood and supported at every step. Together, we focus on what truly matters, develop a solid plan of action, and take purposeful steps toward a life of fulfillment and control. My mission is to help clients navigate uncertainty, tap into their strengths, and build a future that aligns with their purpose and values.

Mario helped me tremendously through a major life transition. He was very supportive, and helped me see my circumstances in a new and positive way. He encouraged me to go to grad school, and I now have a new and fulfilling career. He also gave me guidance on restructuring my family after divorce. Mario is relaxed, friendly, and has a fun sense of humor. He's a great life coach.

eached out to Mario after suicidal ideology and post traumatic stress disorder from a hurtful childhood and loveless marriage. I was at an extremely low point in my adult life and I needed to break through a wall to understand why I felt the way I did and how this impacted my choice of relationships My experience with Mario was both real and years Mario rewarding diving into areas another therapist(s) could not extract. In three made substantial, gains in my personal and professional life. Mario’s educational background and years of services to all ages and all diagnosis allowed him to have diverse approaches with positive outcomes. His expertise with adjust related counseling and self-image and life mapping were both traditional, yet new age. Mario’s communication was top-notch, never once did I have any issue contacting him and if he were away, he would let me know weeks or months ahead of time. He was very empathetic to all my comments, concerns, fears, and expectations and expressions. He was non-judgmental and enjoyable to work with. Emotionally I had breakthroughs in some areas in my life that had been a barrier for 30 years. Mario Nunez has a background in cognitive-behavioral therapy, which was exactly what I needed. His methodology was coordinated yet flexible, allowing me to explore my thoughts and feelings at my own pace. My present life is better having met Mario and allowing him to explore my life, my ideas, my feelings, and my desires and align this with opportunities and changes that allow for a fulfilling life based on love, trust, communication, and the ability to solve problems instead of avoiding them. I not only highly recommend Mario; I assure you he will forever change your life and how you think about yourself: you will love yourself more and be kinder to yourself and focus on your strengths and using areas of improvement as focus but learning about yourself and how you react to the world.

Working with Mario has truly been life-changing. I’ve been working with him for about 4-5 years now, and from our first session, I could tell he truly understood me and what I had to say. Mario listens attentively and asks insightful questions, which creates a safe, non-judgmental space that has allowed me to recognize and overcome some of my biggest barriers. He truly cares about his clients, and listens to any and everything they have to say. For me, Mario creates a personalized approach. He listens to what I have to say, and tailors his strategies to my goals, helping me break down those goals into manageable steps. Since working with Mario, I’ve noticed incredible shifts in both my personal and professional life. I’m more confident in myself and my abilities, and I am more motivated. He has seen me at my worst, yet continues to help me grow into the best version of myself. With his support, I’ve been able to find what I truly want out of life. I highly recommend Mario to anyone who wants positive, meaningful change in their lives. He will be empathetic, insightful, and genuinely dedicated to your growth.
