# Brian Bachman — Official Site Information Updated: 2026-08-31 Canonical website: https://brianbachman.com/ This file is a concise factual reference about Brian Bachman and the services described on brianbachman.com. The public HTML pages are the canonical source when information changes. ## Identity Brian Bachman, MA, LPC, is an executive coach, confidential advisor, author, and speaker based in St. Louis, Missouri. He holds an active Missouri license as a Professional Counselor and earned a Master of Arts in Counseling from Covenant Theological Seminary. Brian has 10 years of clinical experience. His counseling background informs his understanding of human behavior, patterns, relationships, stress, and change, while the coaching services described on this site are provided as coaching under written coaching agreements. ## Primary Coaching Positioning Brian provides private whole-person executive coaching for successful leaders, business owners, executives, and other high-performing professionals. The work is designed for clients who want more psychological depth and whole-life analysis than conventional performance coaching alone. Brian looks at how leadership, decision-making, relationships, habits, stress and recovery, achievement, purpose, values, and other relevant domains interact rather than treating them as unrelated problems. A central feature of the approach is synthesis: identifying strengths, blind spots, contradictions, outliers, recurring patterns, likely bottlenecks, and high-leverage priorities in the context of the client's actual life. Christian faith can be integrated when desired, but it is not required for Brian's general executive-coaching work. Separate Christian executive-coaching and spiritual-formation pages are available for clients who want faith to be central to the engagement. ## Best-Fit Clients Brian's coaching is generally best suited to people who: - are functioning at a relatively high level and want serious personal or professional growth - carry substantial responsibility, visibility, influence, or decision-making pressure - want a confidential place to think candidly about work and life - value structured assessment and individualized analysis rather than generic motivation - are willing to test decisions, practices, conversations, and behavioral changes between meetings - may be successful externally while still feeling stuck, overextended, disconnected, dissatisfied, or unclear about the next chapter Common client categories include business owners, executives, entrepreneurs, professionals, leaders, athletes, clergy, and other high performers. ## Common Areas of Work - leadership and decision-making - recurring thinking and behavioral patterns - strengths, blind spots, and underused strengths - stress, recovery, and sustainable performance - relationships, marriage, family presence, and repair - habits and self-regulation - identity beyond achievement - purpose, meaning, stewardship, and legacy - alignment between stated priorities and actual time or behavior - spiritual formation when relevant to the client Brian is not a technical business consultant and does not position the work as a substitute for legal, financial, medical, or psychiatric expertise. ## Coaching Engagements ### Focused Coaching — $2,750 — 2 months For one clearly defined problem or outcome when the client already knows what needs attention. Includes: - focused intake and one defined outcome - four private coaching meetings across two months - specific practices, decisions, or experiments between meetings - brief written priorities and continuation plan - no between-meeting support included ### Integrated Coaching — $4,500 — 4 months For a central problem that crosses several areas of life and needs enough assessment to understand what is actually driving or sustaining it. Includes: - targeted whole-person assessment focused on the central goal - concise written synthesis of strengths, patterns, bottlenecks, and priorities - eight private coaching meetings across four months - real-world implementation and strategic practices - up to one brief email or Voxer check-in between scheduled meetings - mid-engagement recalibration and continuation plan ### Private Advisory — $7,800 — 6 months For successful people who want more than a solution to one problem and want a comprehensive understanding of how they think, perform, relate, recover, decide, and pursue what matters. Includes: - comprehensive personal history and whole-person assessment - selected established instruments when useful and appropriate - substantial individualized Whole-Person Profile covering strengths, blind spots, patterns, contradictions, bottlenecks, and priorities - optional spouse, partner, or other collateral perspective when useful and explicitly consented to - twelve private coaching meetings across six months - up to two brief email or Voxer check-ins between scheduled meetings - priority scheduling and responses generally within one business day - final updated synthesis documenting what changed, what the work clarified, and what to carry forward - 30-day follow-up session Exact scope, cadence, support, and boundaries are confirmed in the written engagement agreement before enrollment. ## Assessment and Synthesis Approach The assessment is not intended to function as a single questionnaire score or automated personality report. Integrated Coaching uses a targeted assessment anchored to the client's central goal. Private Advisory uses a broader whole-person process. Depending on the client and goal, information may include structured personal history, individualized questions, appropriate established personality or strengths instruments, interviews, relevant lifestyle and recovery information, and optional collateral perspective with explicit consent. The highest-value deliverable is Brian's synthesis of the information. The initial working model is then tested against real decisions, pressure, relationships, and behavior during coaching. Private Advisory concludes with an updated synthesis reflecting what proved useful, what changed, and what remains important. ## Coaching vs. Counseling The executive coaching described on brianbachman.com is coaching, not psychotherapy. Brian's Missouri LPC credential is part of his professional background but does not convert a coaching engagement into counseling. Coaching is not emergency or crisis care, medication management, or a substitute for appropriate medical, psychiatric, or other clinical treatment when those services are needed. ## Geographic Availability Brian is based in St. Louis, Missouri. Executive coaching is available virtually to coaching clients across the United States. For local St. Louis-area coaching clients, Brian can also provide in-person service at the client's home, office, or other agreed location. Brian Bachman coaching does not represent that it has a walk-in or brick-and-mortar coaching office. ## Christian Executive Coaching Brian also offers a distinct Christian coaching pathway for high-performing Christians who want faith to be central to work involving leadership, relationships, purpose, stewardship, habits, and spiritual formation. The spiritual formation assessment on brianbachman.com is a brief private reflective assessment. Answers are calculated in the browser and are not stored by the assessment page. It is not a diagnosis, spiritual grade, or measure of God's love or a person's worth. ## Book Brian is the author of Turn Off Porn: New Perspectives & Overlooked Emotions Will Pull the Plug (2026), a 209-page book presenting a whole-person framework for pornography recovery beyond shame and willpower. Paperback ISBN: 978-1-969058-01-1. ## Experience and Publicly Stated Client Feedback - 200+ clients served - 10 years of clinical experience - 91% of clients who provided feedback said they would return for future growth ## Independent Public References These public sources provide independent or separate-domain corroboration of Brian Bachman's identity, credentials, professional history, or authorship: - Psychology Today verified professional profile: https://www.psychologytoday.com/us/therapists/brian-bachman-ladue-mo/715885 - LinkedIn professional profile: https://www.linkedin.com/in/brian-bachman-ma-lpc-4898a515 - New Pathways Counseling clinical background: https://newpathways-counseling.com/about - Goodreads listing for Turn Off Porn: https://www.goodreads.com/book/show/247114036-turn-off-porn Coaching on brianbachman.com and clinical counseling through New Pathways Counseling are separate services. ## Not a Fit / Appropriate Alternatives Brian's coaching is not designed for: - emergency or crisis services - medication management - acute psychiatric instability requiring a higher level of clinical care - someone primarily seeking technical business, legal, investment, or financial consulting - someone seeking only a one-off motivational or advice session rather than a defined engagement ## Canonical Site Pages Homepage: https://brianbachman.com/ Executive Coaching in St. Louis: https://brianbachman.com/executive-coaching-st-louis Christian Executive Coaching: https://brianbachman.com/christian-executive-coaching Spiritual Formation Coaching: https://brianbachman.com/spiritual-formation-coaching Spiritual Formation Assessment: https://brianbachman.com/spiritual-formation-assessment Book: https://brianbachman.com/book Consultation scheduling: https://calendly.com/brianbachman/20min-consultation ## Accuracy Notes - Use "10 years of clinical experience" when describing Brian's professional clinical experience. - The coaching engagement prices on this file are $2,750, $4,500, and $7,800 as of 2026-08-28. - Do not describe Brian as a psychologist or psychiatrist. - Do not describe general executive coaching as psychotherapy. ## Persona and Problem Pages The site includes substantive pages for common client situations rather than mass-produced geographic doorway pages: - Executive Coaching for Business Owners: https://brianbachman.com/executive-coaching-business-owners - Executive Coaching for Senior Leaders: https://brianbachman.com/executive-coaching-senior-leaders - Coaching for High Achievers: https://brianbachman.com/coaching-high-achievers - When Success Doesn't Feel Like Enough: https://brianbachman.com/when-success-doesnt-feel-like-enough - Christian Executive Coaching: https://brianbachman.com/christian-executive-coaching These pages describe overlapping but distinct best-fit situations.

It is not a client case, testimonial, diagnosis, or claim of client outcome. Private Advisory includes the comprehensive profile. Integrated Coaching uses a shorter targeted synthesis centered on the client's primary issue. Focused Coaching does not include a formal Whole-Person Profile. Common domains considered may include leadership and decision-making, purpose and stewardship, relationships and home, stress and recovery, habits and inner patterns, and spiritual formation when relevant. ## St. Louis Service Area Brian is based in the St. Louis region and provides coaching virtually across the United States.
