The Decision Principles
A video-based curriculum that will give you the step-by-step guide to making decisions efficiently and effectively.
Have you been tossing and turning, struggling with what you should do with your life?
Whether it’s a big decision or you’re having a hard time making decisions in general, you’re not alone. If you notice any of the following in your life, this curriculum is for you:
You are frequently worrying about what your future will look like
You are constantly asking friends and family what you should do
You feel stuck but are unsure what kind of change to make
There are not enough Google searches to save you from your indecision
You’re struggling to concentrate because you’re so preoccupied with an upcoming decision
Then you’ve come to the right place.
As a therapist, I specialize in helping people make effective, values-based decisions every single day. Whether you are struggling with a single decision or you would describe yourself as indecisive in general, I can give you the clarity that you need to feel confident in the choices that you are making.
The secret sauce that sets my training apart? Well, there are more than a few ingredients…
I’m a therapist with a doctorate in Clinical Psychology and a master’s degree in Marriage and Family Therapy. I use empirically-supported interventions in my methods. I’m also clinically trained to provide you with culturally-informed, research-backed recommendations.
I have worked with hundreds of clients as they learn how to make meaningful decisions in their lives. I teach you how to become your own advocate so that you can learn how to apply these skills to your own life.
I integrate a values-based approach to decision making, which goes WAY beyond the traditional decision making models that you’ll find on the market. Thus, you’ll walk away not only understanding how to effectively make decisions, but you’ll also learn what your core values are and how you can implement them into every choice you make.
That’s why you need…

Tired of Struggling?
Feeling indecisive and being stuck is a headache--both for you and the people in your life. And chances are, the longer you struggle with making a decision, the more often a decision is made FOR you. It’s time for you to take back ownership of your life by learning how to make your decisions from a values-based space.
What’s Inside the Decision Principles?
Module 1:
Choosing a Decision Point
Clarify what upcoming decision you want to focus on throughout the curriculum. By the end of the training, you’ll be encouraged to reach a decision. The best part is that you can take the tools you’re learning and apply them to future decisions as they come along.
Module 2:
Values-Based Decisions
Identify what your values are and learn how they inform your decision making process. No longer will you be pulled by what others are pressuring you to do. You’ll make decisions confidently because you’ll know that your choices are rooted in your values.
Module 3:
Understanding Perspective
Understand what thoughts and fears are getting in the way of making effective decisions. Develop balanced thoughts that allow you to come to your decision with a more realistic perspective.
Module 4:
Integrating Logic
Weigh your different options by understanding how your values and life balance will be impacted with your choice point. Identify the factors that come into play with key decision making so that you can make an informed decision.
Module 5:
Implementing Goals
Learn how your decisions tie into both your short-term and long-term goals while weighing the evidence to make a values-based, balanced decision. Find out what kind of questions you should be asking your community to get the advice you need.
Module 6:
Intentional Choices
Mindfully incorporate intentionality as you learn how to truly live out each of your decision options. Build confidence in your choice as you identify the consequences that come with each action path.
Module 7:
Effective Action Taking
Dive into your decision and understand how numbing and/or avoidance behaviors may be interfering with effective action taking. Develop a self-care plan as you cope with your decision and its consequences. Celebrate this important step of taking action!
Modules 8:
Reflect & Explore
Integrate and explore what you’ve learned after you’ve actually made a decision. Note how your thoughts and feelings have been impacted by the behavioral action you’ve taken.
Modules 9 & 10:
Looking
Toward the Future
Process what you’ve learned through the decision-making model both one month and six months out. Integrate all the knowledge you’ve gained to apply to future decision making.
And with all these great modules, you can complete the curriculum quickly.
I am trained in providing short term services and you can go through this curriculum in a week if you need to—especially if you need to make your decision in a pinch. Of course, you can also expand the curriculum over a few months as well. You can go at your own pace.
“Dr. Lauren Cook serves as a delightful guide and strong support system as you learn how to efficiently make a decision. She has perfectly crafted this personalized curriculum so that you feel confident and assertive in your decision-making skills."
Ellie Amarasuriya
“I used to be reserved when it came to decision making because I felt anxious about the process. Through The Decision Principles, I learned how to be more gracious, flexible, and giving with myself as I learned how to live out my values with my decision making. I now have so much more confidence with my upcoming decisions because I know I am capable.”
Maddy Carson
"With two young children and a job, I never felt that I had the time to make a conscious decision about my life. I was on auto pilot but not happy. Lauren's course clarified my goals and inspired me to take bold action to create the life of my dreams!"

I know you’ve got questions. Let’s answer them!
+ What if I don’t have a clear decision that I’m struggling with?
That’s all right! You don’t need to be sifting through a tough choice to benefit from this training. You’ll still learn how to implement your values intentionally with each decision you’re making so that your life feels more purposeful and on point.
+ Can you guarantee that I will have made a decision by the end of the curriculum?
I never make false promises to my clients. At the end of the day, this work is about empowering YOU to make a decision, not forcing you to make a choice. While I invite you to set a deadline and ask that you do make a decision, only you can ultimately carry this out. If you’re still struggling at the end of the curriculum, it’s a good sign that personalized coaching with Lauren would be helpful for understanding what barriers are getting in your way.
+ When does the course begin?
It begins the very minute you sign up! So if you’ve got a decision that you need to make by tomorrow, you can start watching and working on the modules in the next few minutes. There are 10 modules, with 7 of them taking you all the way to your final decision. The final three modules help you process and break down what you’ve learned one week, one month, and six months out from your decision.
+ How long will I have access to the course?
You will have lifetime access! The handbook and modules are yours to keep so you can continually use it to apply to your current decision and future decisions that you’re struggling with. This is an investment in yourself that will continue to give back!
+ What if I have questions as I’m going through the modules?
I welcome your questions! If you need specific support, you can always upgrade to the coaching package that comes with four private coaching sessions at a discounted rate.
+ What materials do I need for this curriculum?
Just a computer. You’ll need a device to watch the videos and you can type on the handbook handouts. However, we learn best when we actually write out content. So, I recommend that you print out the handbook so that you can write along as you go.
