Patricia "Patti" Silensky

Patricia “Patti” Silensky is a prayer warrior, disciple of Jesus, and a former teacher who established herself with a second career in pastoral ministry. Some of these roles included visiting hospitals with her 2 registered therapy dogs, teaching seminars at a Christian family retreat, co-founding an outreach to persons with disabilities and caregivers, functioning as a health minister, serving as a prayer ministry coordinator, and leading small groups such as Grief Share. Patti is the past Vice-President of the Ladies of Praise Women’s Ministry of the Treasure Coast, and currently a volunteer Guardian ad Litem for the State of Florida where she works with abused, abandoned and neglected children as they make their way through the dependency system.

Patti’s educational credentials include a B.A. in Education from Florida Atlantic University where she graduated Magna Cum Laude, a Health Minister degree from Hallelujah Acres, and degrees as a Board Certified Master Mental Health Coach as well as a Board Certified Professional Life Coach from Light University. She was inducted into Marquis WHO'S WHO in America for 2022-2023. Patti jokes that her life experience as a wife, bio-mom to 3, step-mom to 2, grandmom to 12, & great-grandmom to 4 has given her a Doctorate from the Kingdom of God Graduate School.

Patti’s vision for Plumbago Cottage Ministries is that the Lord will use her according to Isaiah 61:1-3, helping people receive good tidings, joy and freedom. She wants her clients to know that God’s banner over them is love; and that through His grace, God is able to do abundantly more than we could ask or imagine to bring about victory in their lives.

WHAT IS CHRISTIAN PERSONAL LIFE AND WELLNESS COACHING?

Christian Coaches integrate biblical principles to assist people in successfully navigating issues with their personal lives or with their health. 3 John 2
Christian Coaches help people who are looking for change and purpose in their lives to discover God’s call and how to most effectively live it out. Jeremiah 29:11
Christian Coaches assist people to set goals and help them discover the most effective way to reach them, taking them from where they are to where they want to be. Proverbs 16:9

HOW DOES LIFE AND WELLNESS COACHING DIFFER FROM MENTAL HEALTH THERAPY?

Life and Wellness Coaching is not intended for the diagnosis and treatment of mental illness. As such, it is not covered by insurance or by a health savings account.
Therapy focuses heavily on using psychological techniques to explore one’s past, while coaching focuses heavily on using mentorship and discipleship to improve one’s future.
Therapy is not for everyone, but coaching is!
