Health Coaching
Whether you’re seeking a training program for physical or mental health coaching, the Vanderbilt Health Coaching Program (VHCP) is specifically designed by field experts to set you up for success wherever your certified health coach journey takes you. Our health coach certification program has two phases and runs two Cohorts each year, Winter and Summer.
Our program is designed for licensed healthcare professionals who desire to find a health coaching job as a Nationally Board-Certified Health and Wellness Coach (NBC-HWC) or a Nurse Coach-Board Certified (NC-BC), to practice as an independent NBC-HWC, or to enhance a current healthcare role by obtaining the skills to facilitate patients to better self-manage health and optimize wellness.

Additionally, as supervision capacity allows, we offer doctoral practicum opportunities for advanced graduate students in Clinical and Counseling Psychology, and internships for master’s counseling students.

We do this by combining evidence-based complementary therapies, like mindfulness, acupuncture, massage, and nutrition, with conventional treatments. This integrative approach goes beyond treating illness; it focuses on optimizing your health to promote long-term well-being.
Our dedicated team of providers work collaboratively to create personalized care plans tailored to your unique goals. These plans equip you with strategies and practices so you can actively participate in your journey towards optimal health.
