Feeling frustrated? Stuck? Lost? Anxious?

Have you tried everything you can think of to get your life, relationships or career sorted out, but still feel like you're just repeating and reliving the same old patterns? Have you tried therapy, counseling or self-help programs, only to never quite get the results you've been after?
Are you ready for a change?
My name is
Doug Turet and I am
The HELP Coach.
I HELP people -- especially those who've survived verbal, psychological or physical assaults -- to rediscover their senses of hope, possibility and clarity, and to discover and develop strengths and talents they may not have believed they could ever be "good enough" at to make a difference.
I provide a safe space for you to explore and experiment, to try new things -- and yes, to both succeed and fail -- but without any judgment, and then help you to get back up and try again), and keep on doing that in new and different ways while you design and build the kind of life that you've hoped or suspected could be possible for you, but may not have known how to move towards.
Most importantly of all, I can help you to recognize and develop the strengths and skills you'll need to become comfortable, confident and successful -- and to literally embody my company's slogan, "From Crisis to Confidence" -- and help you to build from there, so you'll never have to feel stuck again!
The adventure that led to my to becoming a Life Coach and launching The HELP Coach, LLC was a long and winding one. At this stage of the journey, I am a happy, healthy and reasonably confident man with a thriving relationship and a nice home and practice, married to the woman of my dreams and the father of a daughter who’s well on her way to creating a career like mine, helping people to live more fulfilling lives.
But the person I began as was far less comfortable or self-assured, and often alone, hurt and scared. I arrived with crossed eyes, flat feet, loose joints and the kinds of challenges that educators now call “learning disabilities”, but which had far less flattering names and more serious ramifications, back then. As a result, I was frequently reminded by those around me what a disappointment and embarrassment I was to them, which prepared me to be easy target for schoolyard bullies and the more violent and abusive predators who came later on, all of whose actions only served to leave me feeling more terrified, confused and limited. As far as I knew, I was neither safe nor understood and, for the longest time, didn't have anyone to turn to. (Frankly, it's a miracle that I survived.)
Since then, I have launched and built successful careers as a performing musician and drum instructor, designer/master craftsman, licensed massage therapist/certified medical massage practitioner and certified life coach/personal empowerment coach, been published nationally and internationally more than twenty times, won numerous awards and helped a lot of people to heal and grow and live!
Despite these later successes,
I have never forgotten the long journey that led to them, and those experiences inform the work I do as
The HELP Coach.
That's why I'm sharing all of this with you, now: so you'll know that when you and I work together, you will have an equal partner in your progress, who's not only bringing you the skills of his professional training and years of leading others forward but, also, his firsthand experience as a survivor of trauma, who knows just how hard and scary it can be to take those first few steps, and how vitally important it can be to have a teammate there to help you back onto your feet, when you fall.
So, if you have ever been made to feel as if you were somehow “less than equal to”, or if you've ever known what it feels like to cringe inside and try to hide yourself and your gifts from view after a traumatic event, and if you're serious about finding a pathway forward, then please know this:
I am here to HELP you, and I will be every bit as committed to your success as you are!

It's normal to experience hesitation while thinking about life coaching. Some people could be hesitant because they are worried about the price, unsure about coaching, or unsure of the advantages they would receive. Others can be hesitant to be vulnerable out of fear of being judged or exposed. It's crucial to keep in mind that life coaching provides a secure and accepting environment in which you can discuss your objectives, difficulties, and desires. By taking the risk and committing to life coaching, you give yourself the possibility for new opportunities, personal development, and a satisfying life in line with your goals.

“This man is very insightful, creative and genuine. Working with him has helped me to start unlocking the answer it seems I’ve already had. He’s helped me to work through difficult conversations and confront my personal fears in self-evelopment. I’m truly blessed to be able to work with him, and his jokes make some of the hard things easier to explore. I didn’t know what to expect working with a life coach… but I’m truly glad I am giving it a shot. I am beginning to feel more confident in many areas of my life. If you have never worked with a life coach, I would highly recommend sitting down with Doug.”

“Doug is one of the best coaches and mentors I’ve ever worked with. I’ve had a few mentors in life, but nobody who really does the work like this. He has helped me give me direction and clarity in what I want out of life and career and for those who are like me who have a lot of talents and hobbies but don’t know exactly what they can achieve in life, having a coach is a much-needed necessity. Five stars!”
Kristin V., June 17th, 2023
“Douglas is a highly proficient coach. He has a high degree of professional and personal experience. He helped me save a broken relationship for which I am eternally grateful. He is most recently coaching me in reaching a higher degree of proficiency and success in my
business life.”

"Doug Turet is an amazing coach. He listens, observes body language, and then calmly asks questions that get right to the heart of the matter. I felt seen, heard, and ultimately ready to approach the main stressor in my life with a fresh perspective and renewed energy. Working with Doug was just what I needed!"
- Rachel S., on February 9th, 2023
"I find it difficult to open up to people right away, usually it is about being comfortable with a person. With just two conversations between us, I felt very comfortable with Doug. I was met with patience and understanding. He was relatable and easy to talk to. I highly recommend his services."
- Brandy P., on January 24th, 2023
"Doug has been a godsend. His candid but professional manner is most helpful. I feel comfortable and at ease with him. His use of humor keeps things light and from bogging down. He's well trained and able to speak to most any situation or context. Highly regarded and recommended."
- Jason, on July 17th, 2022
"Working with Doug has been effortless and fun. He is a very easy to talk to individual and always brings great energy to the table. He took the time to grow our friendship in order to better understand me as an individual and that stood out a lot to me. He is a very invested and passionate individual in his work and it shows. So if you are someone like me who is looking to take that next step, but aren't sure what to do or where to go, then Doug is the person for you!"
- Kevin, on July 8th, 2022
“Working with Doug was, for me, the great experience of partnership. He helped me to unblock my potential and to focus on the issues which are very important to me. I left my worries behind on my way to success and I have achieved my goals! What I especially appreciate about working with Doug are his insights, which opened my eyes many times and I will treat some of them as my new rules of a happy and fulfilled life.”
Jacek G., June 21 st , 2022
"Doug is friendly, helpful, resourceful, and really easy to talk to. His experience and empathy really helped me feel understood in every session we have had. He is always willing to listen and provided helpful insight. My sessions with him have really given me a gentle push in the right direction!"
- Yoanna, on December 21st, 2021
"Doug is one of the nicest people you'll meet, and his coaching skills aren't half bad either ;^) ! Doug really helped me better understand myself and what I am looking for. He always checked in on me to keep me focused and on task with action items we set in place. He also understood and genuinely was invested in me and helping me to fix my issues. Even after our sessions ended, Doug and I have kept in touch with each other. For anyone (like me) who didn't know anything about a Life Coach or what it entails, I would highly recommend giving Doug a chance to help you work on your problems."
- Vincent, on December 8th, 2021
"Doug is not just a great coach but also an amazing human being. He goes above and beyond with his clients. The coaching is so powerful and helpful. He is willing to work with you and meet you where you are at. I highly recommend Doug."

Doug Turet has been a patient and very effective coach, in my experience. I had been holding on to some of my past habits and beliefs, even though they were obviously not helping me. I feel that it is sometimes difficult to look at our own lives objectively, for we are influenced by our past experiences and encounters, and so used to our current habits that we may not recognize the need to make changes in our lives. I knew that I wanted a better path for myself and a more fulfilling future in terms of both work and self-growth but I was unsure as to what steps I would need to take n order to get there. I worked on and off with Doug for a few years and with his help I was able to accept and release the limiting beliefs and self-defeating habits that had kept me from realizing my potential. I now have two jobs that I love, and both came as a result of the work that Doug and I did together."
