If you are searching for a life coach in Los Angeles, you probably want the same few things most people do: someone to help you get clear on what you want, a plan you can actually follow and a person who keeps you moving when life gets busy. That is exactly what one-on-one mentoring at Blackburn is built to do.
Life coaching, done hands-on
Most life coaching happens in a scheduled call every week or two, and the rest is up to you. Blackburn mentoring goes further. Your mentor meets with you weekly or several times a week, in person or by video, with text and phone contact in between, helps you break big goals into weekly steps and checks in when it matters most: before the interview, after the hard conversation, on the day you planned to start.
The terms overlap, and many people use them interchangeably. If you want to understand the differences in detail, read mentor vs coach vs therapist. If you simply want practical help and real accountability, you are in the right place.
What people work on
- Career and education: job searches, career changes, interviews, going back to school
- Money and life skills: budgets, bills, credit and getting organized
- Health and fitness: exercise, sleep, nutrition and a routine that holds
- Relationships and family: communication, boundaries and trust
- Accountability: follow-through on the goals you keep putting off
In person across Los Angeles
Our mentors meet clients in person across Los Angeles, including Venice, Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Culver City and the rest of the Westside. Sessions can happen wherever they are most useful: a coffee shop, a gym, a library, a walk, or the place where the work actually happens.
If your schedule or commute makes in-person meetings hard, mentoring by video works the same way, and many clients mix the two. Living in LA is busy; your mentoring should fit around it, not add to it.

- Young adults building independence, work habits and life skills (see mentoring for young adults)
- People in a career change, a move, a breakup or another big transition
- Anyone who knows what they want to change and is tired of starting over every Monday
- People in recovery who want practical support alongside their program (see mentoring in recovery)

Is a mentor the same as a life coach?

Where in Los Angeles do you meet clients?
Mentors meet clients in person across Los Angeles, including Venice, Mar Vista, Santa Monica, Culver City and the rest of the Westside. Clients anywhere can work with a mentor by video.
How often are sessions?
Sessions run 30 to 60 minutes on a weekly or monthly plan. Many clients meet weekly or several times a week, with text and phone contact in between.
