MomentumCoach is the coaching practice of Dr. Larry Porter, PhD, LMFT. For 35 years, he's helped individuals, couples, and families move through the hard stuff and come out stronger on the other side.
Mind. Body. Spirit. All connected. All in motion.
Dr. Porter started LifeGate Christian Counseling because he saw a gap in how people were being treated. Too many practitioners address the surface without looking underneath. Too many sessions end with coping strategies but no real transformation.
MomentumCoach is built on a different premise: real change requires movement. Not just understanding your patterns, but actively reshaping them. Through Emotionally Focused Therapy, health optimization, and a whole-person approach, clients don't just manage their struggles. They outgrow them.
