Becoming With Genafie is an educational, faith-centered personal development and coaching platform created to help individuals grow mentally, emotionally, spiritually, and personally. The platform brings together education, speaking, meaningful conversations, books, resources, self-paced coaching materials, and personal development programs designed to support individuals as they continue becoming who God created them to be.
All coaching packages provide one year of access to designated program materials, allowing participants to move through the content at their own pace, revisit lessons, complete exercises, and intentionally apply what they are learning to their everyday lives.
Although Genafie McKnight is a licensed therapist, Becoming With Genafie is not a therapy practice and does not provide psychotherapy, mental health diagnosis, crisis intervention, or other clinical mental health treatment. The platform was developed in response to the significant number of individuals seeking to work directly with Genafie, creating an opportunity for her to extend her education, lived experience, faith-based teachings, and personal development strategies beyond the traditional therapy setting.
Becoming With Genafie is intended for individuals who are emotionally and mentally stable and appropriate for a coaching environment. Individuals experiencing a mental health crisis, active thoughts of harming themselves or others, or symptoms requiring clinical assessment or treatment should seek appropriate professional or emergency mental health services rather than participate in coaching as a substitute for treatment.
A foundational component of Becoming With Genafie is the integration of Christian faith and theological principles. Coaching packages incorporate strategies grounded in faith in Jesus Christ and the guidance of the Holy Spirit, encouraging participants to recognize that personal transformation is not solely dependent upon their own strength. The goal is to help individuals develop new knowledge, strengthen healthy patterns, deepen their relationship with God, and learn to depend on Him throughout the process of healing, growth, and becoming.
The Becoming Collection
Books, resources, and speaking. Genafie brings her faith and mental health coaching together to help individuals break free from the patterns that keep them in at risk behaviors.
