About Thrive After 50
We are a team of certified coaches and psychology-informed practitioners dedicated to helping adults over fifty build purposeful, energized lives. Our approach blends compassion with rigor, translating research into practical routines, clear metrics, and steady support that respects your experience and ambitions.
Our Science-Based Approach
We combine evidence-based psychology with practical coaching to help you progress confidently after fifty, integrating cognitive behavioral methods, acceptance and commitment tools, strengths work, and behavior design to create sustainable habits, reduce friction, and align daily choices with long-term values, purpose, and well-being.
Evidence We Rely On
Our framework draws from cognitive behavioral therapy principles, acceptance and commitment practices, self-determination theory, and adult development research. We integrate findings from gerontology and neuroplasticity to ensure strategies match the unique opportunities and challenges of later adulthood, prioritizing safety, autonomy, competence, and meaningful relatedness in every step.
How We Personalize Coaching
Personalization begins with a comprehensive intake, validated well-being measures, strengths inventories, and values clarification. We co-create SMARTER goals, define leading indicators, and set habit experiments matched to your context. Feedback loops, session reflections, and data-informed adjustments keep progress compassionate, realistic, and sustainable across changing seasons of life.

Skill Sprints
Each week focuses on one high-impact practice, such as boundary setting, habit stacking, or cognitive defusion. Short instruction, guided repetition, and real-world assignments help you build mastery. Progress check-ins reinforce consistency, and reflective prompts ensure learning transfers to situations you care about most.
Community Accountability
