About Resilience Coaching & Counseling
You already have resilience within you.
We help you uncover it, believe it, and live it!
Life can be a lot. Even when you’re doing everything “right,” it can still feel like something’s missing. You might feel stuck, burned out, or like you’ve lost touch with the version of the person who used to feel hopeful, clear, or excited about the future.
At Resilience Coaching & Counseling in Palm Desert, CA, we get it. We know what it’s like to carry responsibilities, hide your struggles, and wonder if you’ll ever feel like yourself again. That’s exactly why founder, Kiavash Ebadat (or “Kia,” as most people call him), built this practice: to create a space that feels real, relational, and deeply human.
As a husband, father, and therapist, Kia leads with presence, purpose, and a genuine love for growth, both personally and professionally. His passion for learning, leadership, and helping people find joy in the process of change shapes how each therapist and coach shows up for every client.
We’re here to walk alongside you as you learn to trust your voice, build real confidence, and create a life that actually feels good to live. Our team is here to help you reconnect with your purpose, your peace, and your power.
Our Mission
We believe coaching and counseling should be relatable, collaborative, and focused on real change. We help clients reconnect with who they are, break through the patterns that hold them back, and grow into the best version of themselves.
Our Values
These values shape how we show up for you and for each other.
Creativity
We celebrate the uniqueness each person brings. Our team embraces diverse perspectives, explores new approaches, and supports one another to grow, learn, and create real change.
Growth
We’re lifelong learners who actively share insights and stay inspired. By growing as professionals and people, we offer our clients and community the best care possible.
Respect
No judgment. No ego. No shame. Respect comes from knowing every person has journeyed with their own lived experience and perspective.
Fun
Healing doesn’t have to be heavy. We believe in bringing lightness, laughter, and genuine connection to the room. Life is serious enough; therapy doesn’t have to be.
The Work We Do Beyond the Counseling Room
Giving Back & Growing The Field
One of the accomplishments we’re most proud of is the work we do beyond our office in Palm Desert, CA, and that’s giving back to our community and supporting the next generation of therapists.
At Resilience Coaching & Counseling, our team regularly leads mental health presentations for local schools, nonprofits, and community organizations. Whether we’re educating parents, supporting teens, or helping professionals better understand emotional wellness, we’re passionate about reducing stigma and expanding access to mental health knowledge.
We’re also committed to shaping the future of our field. Our clinical supervision program is designed to empower associate therapists and counselors to grow with skill, confidence, and heart. From custom training templates to hands-on mentorship, we ensure our clinicians are fully prepared for licensure and deeply grounded in the values of this work.
Our Approach
How Our Coaching & Counseling Works
We begin with what matters
First, we take the time to really get to know you. Your story, your challenges, and what you care about. We create a safe, supportive space where you can be yourself and start to heal at your own pace.
We create your
roadmap
Next, we get clear on your goals and map out a plan that fits you. This is more than just setting goals. It’s about creating a clear vision, taking massive action, and breaking through the barriers holding you back.
We build real
momentum
With compassionate support and practical tools, we help you build momentum. This journey is about progress, not perfection. Every step forward is worth celebrating, and we’ll be right there cheering you on as you create lasting, meaningful change!
