Psychology & Wellness Coaching
Jeffrey Mince - certified ACC psychology coach & mindfulness expert, with extensive training in awareness & meditation practices. Former Buddhist monk & experienced teacher of Buddhist psychology, with specialized training in grief, trauma, & end-of-life support.
What I Do:
My coaching approach blends the latest research in emotional intelligence with the principles of mindfulness psychology to help clients develop self-awareness, self-esteem, emotional regulation, empathy, and resilience, among other things. I tailor each client session to their unique needs and goals, providing personalized and practical support. Some common session focuses include:
-
Identifying and managing triggers for emotional distress
-
Learning techniques for stress management and relaxation
-
Mindfulness-Based Stress Reduction (MBSR)
-
Developing healthier coping mechanisms for challenging situations
-
Improving communication skills and relationships
-
Enhancing personal growth and self-actualization
-
Addressing issues related to anxiety, depression, and trauma
-
Cultivating a more positive and compassionate mindset
-
Increasing motivation, self-confidence, & Self Esteem
-
Improving overall well-being and quality of life.
-
Developing Self-Awareness
-
Negative Self Talk
-
Resilience
In addition to one-to-one coaching sessions, I offer positive psychology, mindfulness, meditation, and creativity workshops, retreats, and master classes.
Why It Works:
Punk Monk mindfulness-based coaching combines the principles of positive psychology with mindfulness practices. Through combining these two approaches, I help individuals identify and cultivate their strengths, use mindfulness to stay focused and engaged in their work, reduce stress and anxiety, improve their ability to focus and concentrate, and to make better decisions. These skills can be particularly useful in the context of modern welness practices, as they can help individuals to better manage their time, set and achieve goals, and to navigate challenges and setbacks.
About Me:
As a Positive Psych practitioner, I've been studying and training in the practical science of happiness, creativity, and a meaningful life for years. As a long-time Buddhist practitioner and former monk, I've taught hundreds of Buddhist Psychology seminars and classes, guided countless meditations, and logged more than 1000 hours of silent meditation on retreat. As a professional musician, I've performed at concerts and in recording studios all over the world, mentored many extraordinary musicians, and looked deeply into the creative process. Punk Monk Works is my way of consolidating my life's experiences into a practical path that honors positive change by helping my clients to cultivate insight, clarity, meaning, courage, and self-acceptance.

Jeffrey is a focused listener. He waited for me to clarify what I wanted from the session and worked with me to meet my goal. Jeffrey is affirming and warm while also offering challenges so that I could see more clearly- which helped open up new possibilities for me. Jeffrey is a skilled coach!

I started listening to Jeff’s micro-meditations (TikTok) a couple of weeks ago, and they have consistently spoken to me every single day. I have never found anything even remotely similar to these, all packaged in a 2-minute micro-meditation. My favorite thus far is “What if Everything Is Working Out” inspired by a T-shirt he once saw. He quotes Ralph Waldo Emerson “Life is a journey, not a destination”. This particular meditation is emblematic of Jeff’s style of communication. He is at once calming, introspective and wise with a healthy dose of humility. I feel like I have known him for decades.
