My name is Jared Mackey, and I am the coach/owner of Rooted Life Coaching. I absolutely love what I do! Before starting Rooted Life Coaching, I was blessed to work for some fantastic mental health organizations for almost a decade. I worked as a behavioral health specialist and as well as an intensive home-based behavioral specialist. I am extensively trained through those positions to help children, teens, adults, and families through many sorts of behavioral/mental health categories.
Life Coaching allows me to work with people on some significant subjects that I enjoy. Life transitions, developing life skills, improving relationships/communications, improving and developing roots in positive decision-making, and working through coping skills for anxiety|anger|grief are some unique subjects that I love rolling up my sleeves and working side by side with my clients.
​
I am based out of Columbus, Ohio. I have been here since May of 2010. I am from Oklahoma, where I have some fantastic roots in friends, family, sports, and college/high school experiences. I have two exceptional children that are 6 and. So, I fully understand the juggle of life being a parent and trying to the best adulting possible in life.
With no surprise, Rooted Coaching has roots from my past experiences as a social worker, as a parent, and as a person of faith.
