Coaching vs Therapy
​
-
Coaching and therapy are different. While therapy can focus on the past, present, and/-or future, coaching focuses on the present and moving forward. While coaching and therapy both focus on mental health, therapy focuses on becoming well while coaching focuses on maintaining wellness. Thus, coaching services are best suited for those feeling relatively stable, but looking for support in developing goals and creating effective strategies to reach those goals.
-
Coaches do not diagnose or treat mental health issues, therefore services ARE NOT REIMBURSABLE by any insurance, Health Savings Account, or Flex Savings Account.
