MBA, Certified Life Coach

About Daniel

Hi there! My name is Daniel Escobar. I am a Certified Bilingual Life Coach. I specialize in the areas of work/life balance, time management and relationships. My goal is to work alongside you and help guide you through this journey. I will provide you with tools and strategies for you to reach your goals and achieve the balance that you are looking for. As your coach, it is extremely important for me to create an environment where you feel safe to express your thoughts and ideas without judgment.

As a Work/Life Balance coach, you and I will embark on your journey to find harmony in your daily routines. We will work on prioritizing your daily activities and identifying factors that are keeping you away from achieving inner peace and living a life of joy and reward. Together we will develop specific short and long-term goals and implement a plan crafted specifically for you.

If you are seeking guidance to overcome challenges in a current relationship, would like to work on improving the relationship or considering moving away from it, my goal is to support you. Together, we will work on analyzing and reflecting on your current situation. We will also evaluate your options and help you find clarity towards your future decisions. I work with couples and individually to improve communication, strengthen bonds, and help individuals build a path to lasting love and fulfillment.

Miguel A. Cintron, MD

Physician Coach

About Miguel

Hello! My name is Miguel Cintron, a Board Certified OB-GYN, now practicing as an OB-GYN Hospitalist. I have spent decades as a Private Practitioner, in Academic Practice and in Medical Leadership at the local, state and national levels. I have helped train thousands of physicians and earned the title of Certified Master Teacher from a major medical school in Texas.

I am dismayed by the number of physicians who report burnout, disappointment and unhappiness in general. I bring my experience to Balev as a Physician Coach as I firmly embrace the concept of Life Balance in order to Evolve in whatever we choose in life. I look forward to working with a team of professionals who can offer a holistic, encompassing approach to wellness.

We physicians are used to helping. That is what we do. But in the process, we also need help as we encounter the serious challenges our profession presents. Together, allow me to help you face those challenges and guide you to a more balanced, gratifying and fruitful life as a Physician.

About Beatriz

Are you ready to explore the challenging thoughts that are troubling you and bringing anxiety and fear into your life? My approach to therapy is trauma focused and eclectic. I strongly believe that therapy should not be a “one-size-fits-all” model. I am a person that cares about the comfort of my clients and looks forward to supporting you in the process of self-growth and self-acceptance. Therapy can be intimidating for some people, but you are not going at this alone. I am committed to work with you to address all of your concerns as you begin creating a life you are comfortable living and that you genuinely enjoy.

My approach to therapy utilizes various techniques that help you identify and understand your emotions, explore strengths and skills you naturally have, and learn how they can be used to begin resolving your current dilemma. In session I strive to create a safe space for clients to feel heard, understood, and accepted. I am passionate about helping adults, adolescence, couples, and families become aware of their unique issues that hurt them in their relationships. Along with being a Licensed Professional Counselor Associate, I am a Certified School Counselor. I have experience with anxiety, stress and families. I have also worked in the public-school setting by providing services to at risk youths and was successful in assisting adolescents with transitioning to adulthood.
