Life Coach Barry Bruder

Barry has worked as a life coach for more than twenty years. His work in LA began at Marianne Williamson's Los Angeles Center for Living during the mid-eighties. His focus has ranged from addiction recovery to trauma and loss. Barry lead workshops in the field for ten years throughout the US and Canada.

Barry maintains a private practice in Los Angeles, and additionally conducts telephone and internet sessions with clients worldwide. The attention and intention are on continuing care, where Barry assists individuals in creating the plan to remain healthy and sober
- a "blueprint for success."

Healing functions on a continuum. With Barry as a guide, support and ally, one is invited to choose the miraculous and the extraordinary. It is pragmatic, practical and grounded in the decisions and choices we have made and choose to make in our lives.

Together we look at more helpful and skillful ways to approach our life-long vigil in our lives in order to sustain well-being and sobriety in a more joyous, simple way.



“Working with Barry has altered the course of my life. It's one thing to have the wisdom and expertise he’s accumulated over his many years of work in this area, but combined with his warmth, compassion and ability to communicate in a natural, loving way is truly a gift. Barry genuinely and sincerely loves to help people. That, among other things, is what makes him so good at what he does. He has an amazing gift for saying things in a graceful, motivating way.”

“Every time I talk to Barry, I take away something useful. I now have a wide range of tools I can employ to deal with my problems head on, instead of being afraid and escaping back to a world of self-pity and quiet desperation. I hate to think where I would be today if I had chosen not to pursue an aftercare program, maybe I would not be here at all.”
