No. Coaching is not the same as therapy. Despite my background as a psychotherapist, it's crucial to understand that my role is centered on coaching, not therapy. I will not provide mental health treatment, diagnose conditions, or engage in therapeutic interventions.

Purpose and Focus: Coaching typically focuses on personal or professional development, goal setting, and performance enhancement. It aims to help clients clarify their goals, identify obstacles, and develop strategies for success. On the other hand, therapy primarily addresses mental health issues, emotional healing, and behavior modification stemming from past experiences.

Time Frame: Coaching is often short-term and goal-oriented, with sessions focused on achieving specific objectives within a set timeframe. Therapy, however, may be longer-term and more exploratory, delving into deeper-rooted psychological issues over an extended period.

Client-Centered Approach: In coaching, the client is seen as resourceful and capable of generating solutions with the guidance of the coach. The coaching process empowers clients to take action and responsibility for their choices. In therapy, the focus may be on exploring underlying emotional dynamics and past traumas, with the therapist playing a more directive role in facilitating healing and insight.

Scope of Practice: Coaches are trained to work with clients who are generally mentally healthy and seeking improvement in specific areas of their lives. Their role is not to diagnose or treat mental health disorders. Therapists, on the other hand, are trained mental health professionals who diagnose and treat mental health conditions using evidence-based therapeutic techniques.

Coaching is ideal if you're seeking support in achieving specific goals, enhancing performance, or navigating life transitions. If you're looking to improve your well-being, develop healthier habits, or achieve greater success in your personal or professional life, coaching can provide you with the tools, strategies, and accountability to make meaningful changes.

Therapy is recommended if you're dealing with mental health concerns, emotional challenges, or unresolved issues from the past that are significantly impacting your daily life and functioning. A therapist can help you explore underlying patterns, process difficult emotions, and develop coping skills to manage symptoms of anxiety, depression, trauma, or other mental health conditions.

During our initial consultation, I will be able to assess if coaching is right for you. However, at any point during our time working together, if I, as your coach, determine that you may be at high risk and in need of therapeutic treatment, I reserve the right to recommend terminating our coaching services. Your safety and well-being are of utmost importance, and in such cases, I will provide guidance and support in finding appropriate therapeutic resources to address your needs effectively.

I offer a scholarship option for a 3-month coaching program. If you need a scholarship, please fill out this form.

Due to the nature of the service, I cannot issue refunds.

For clients registered for the six-month coaching program, I will be available via email to answer any questions that you may have. If you need more in-depth support, you can purchase a clarity coaching call for a discounted price of $200 per 60-minute session.

All coaching sessions are conducted virtually.

If you are enrolled in the six-month coaching program, we will meet twice monthly for six months. If you choose the clarity coaching calls, you may book these sessions at your own pace.
