Hi and thanks for taking a peek at who Rick Clemons is and learning more about what I do as "The Coming Out Coach". As the Coming Out Coach I am fully vested in working with anyone who is being touched by the "coming out' journey - individuals, parents whose children come out, spouses whose spouse come out, and kids whose parents come out. In addition, I step well beyond the "coming out process" to work with individuals on the "life long journey" beyond the closet doors. I also believe that everyone regardless of sexual orientation is constantly "coming out of something" - loss of a job, relationships that weren't meant to be, death of a loved one - there's always a closet door of life to walk through. My work as The Coming Out Coach, has guided me to developed a unique 5-Step Process that actually helps anyone who is facing a life transition, finds themselves stuck in neutral, or continues to wish they could live their passion. It's the same work I do with individuals exploring their sexuality, I simply use the same powerful energy and process to help people just like you...

  • Escape a lackluster life...
  • Clock out from a dead end career...
  • Play in the toy box of your passions...
  • Embrace your true purpose...

I am a Certified Professional Coach trained in the Core Energy Coaching modality by the Institute of Professional Excellence In Coaching (iPEC), an International Coaching Federation (ICF) accredited school. Additionally, I have undergone comprehensive training to be come a Master Practioner of the Energy Index Assessment - which I call the True U Assessment -  which identifies the energetic truths that hold you hostage from living freely in their own skin, their own way, with upmost confidence. Gay, straight, male, female, doesn't matter, we all have truths that once released enable us to come out and live fully in our lives.

Why do people work with me?

  • People struggling to uncover their sexual identity feel safe with me because I've walked in their shoes
  • Parents work with me because they know I'm a parent and have lived the coming out story as a child that came out as well as being a gay parent
  • Spouses work with me because I have gone through the woods of being in a mixed orientation marriage and came out the other side to still maintain a beautiful supportive relationship with my ex-wife

What do people achieve by working with me?

  • Reaching their goals, sooner rather than later
  • Dialing into their authentic self for the first time with unbridled confidence
  • Navigating through major life transitions with less stress and clarity
  • Mastering the ability to give themselves full permission to live their passion
  • Embracing their life, living on purpose, no questions asked

I offer weekly complimentary consultations for those who would like to experience a coaching session. I guarantee, even in this one session you will find something to carry forward into your life that will create a shift.

The Reason I Became A Helping Professional

After hiding in my own closet for 38 years, I faced my fears, left my marriage of 13 years, risked losing my relationship with my daughters, stepped into my truth, and began living as a gay man without regrets or shame. Today, I am still living without regrets or shame, have a wonderful relationship with my ex-wife, I've created a life where I work around my kids schedules so I can be an active part of their lives, and take what I've learned to help others thrive in their own lives, their way, as they see fit, not based solely on what others expect from them.

I don't define myself by my sexual orientation nor do I buy into the stereotypes that divorce has to be a nasty affair (no pun intended). Tapping into my blended masculine and feminine energy, my is mission to help men and women, gay or straight, your or old, embrace their powerful truths, use unique gifts, and give themselves full permission to live a passionate, purpose filled life.
