FAQs
What’s the difference between therapy and coaching? Is coaching right for me?
1
While both therapy and coaching support personal growth, they have different purposes. Although my coaching is informed by my experience as a licensed therapy and evidence-informed psychological principles—this coaching practice does not provide psychotherapy or mental health treatment. My coaching practice is collaboratively programmed, future-oriented, skills-based, holistic and action-focused. Traditional therapy is treatment-based, utilizes psychometrics and assessments, entails diagnosing mental health conditions and focuses on symptom reduction. Coaching may be right for you if you want to stop second-guessing yourself, feel ready to move from insight to action, are navigating a life, career or relationship transition, want accountability and support as you create meaningful change or are looking for personal growth rather than mental health treatment. Therapy may be more appropriate for individuals experiencing significant emotional distress or needing crisis intervention.
Do you take insurance?
2
No, my coaching practice is not covered by insurance. My coaching business is not a health care service. I do not align with categorically diagnosing and treating people with very individualistic needs. My philosophy around the human condition orients around mental wellness instead of mental illness. Additionally, it is a privilege to support another through their difficulties. This coaching platform offers guaranteed degree of confidentiality that documentation required for insurance companies cannot. If you are looking for psychotherapy or need treatment for a mental health condition with a mental health professional, those services may be covered by your insurance plan.
