Have you completed therapy but still feel stuck? Maybe you’re ready to move forward but unsure what comes next. You’re not alone, and feeling this way is entirely normal. Even after deep healing through therapy, many people struggle to take the next step toward personal transformation. That’s where Transformational Coaching comes in.
It’s designed to help you break through
limitations, overcome self-doubt, and take action toward creating a life that aligns with your
TRUE POTENTIAL.
As a therapist and a certified transformational life coach, I understand the healing journey and how to guide lasting change. Fundamental transformation happens from the inside out, starting with self-awareness, mindset shifts, and actionable strategies that move you forward.
Transformational Coaching is a results-driven, forward-focused approach designed to help you:
Unlike traditional therapy, which often focuses on healing past wounds, life coaching focuses on personal growth, empowerment, and the future.
Through my coaching, I help you transition from a place of uncertainty to a mindset of clarity, confidence, and action.
If you’re ready to break free from self-imposed limits and take control of your future, Transformational Coaching is your next step.
Whether you want to improve your relationships, career, mindset, or overall well-being, this journey is about unlocking the best version of yourself.
Your transformation starts now. Contact me to schedule a consultation, and we can begin your journey toward a more empowered, fulfilling life together.
Dr. Laura Bokar specializes in guiding individuals toward personal growth and fulfillment. With over 30 years of experience, she is the only professional offering this unique service at Fox Valley Institute.
FVI offers a listening ear without judgement and helps me understand what my options are to move forward in a positive way. The counseling is compassionate but at the same time constructive so you feel like you’re actually making progress toward your goals!

One of my worries of going to see a new therapist is whether or not I will be able to connect with them. From my very first visit, FVI was able to help me understand and see things that were getting in my way, including myself at times. From the calming and private atmosphere the waiting room provides to the office staff, Fox Valley Institute really helps to make me feel comfortable.
- A. H.
I cannot express in words how much these sessions have changed my life. My outlook on life is brighter; my self confidence and self-esteem are stronger; and best of all, I know that whatever life throws my way I can handle it. Thank you FVI!
- A. T.
FVI has encouraged and guided me, sat through tons of tears, and has also made me laugh really hard! In their way, they have helped me to see that life is sometimes difficult, but that I can handle it – and that what happens to me on good and bad days, does not define who I am. We all have a journey in this world. I’m learning to live it, with an empowering truth and strength, one day at a time.
- P. M.
With FVI's guidance and the practical tools they gave me, I was able to make it through one of the hardest times in my life. I also learned valuable lessons about myself and about healthy relationships. I continue to use these lessons and tools on a regular basis, both in my own personal and my professional life. I am so grateful for FVI and the role they played throughout this process. I would recommend anyone to them, and in fact I do send people to them on a regular basis.
- K. G.
I was really afraid of taking this step. I am 43 years old and have been a part of the firefighter culture of shouldering your burdens my whole life. I realize now that true strength is not in shouldering my burden, but in letting go and asking for help. I was able to open up to FVI simply because I saw that they truly cared. They have always been available to me in the times when my life was the hardest. I trust them completely.
- M. O.
Each time I left the office, I felt stronger and able to tackle my issues head on. More importantly, when I left our sessions, I thought about everything that was discussed and the great tools that he gave me to use, and was able to apply them to my situation. He more than once gave me material to read/study/links and we would talk about it during our next session to re-enforce the objectives, which was so helpful.

While traditional coaching focuses on goal-setting, performance, and external achievements, Transformational Coaching goes deeper.
It’s not just about what you want to accomplish; it’s about who you are becoming in the process.
If traditional coaching is like learning how to drive efficiently, then transformational coaching is understanding why you’re on the journey in the first place.
It transcends surface-level change and fosters enduring transformations in thoughts, emotions, and behaviours.
I emphasise Transformational Coaching because genuine, lasting change originates from within.
