Coaching

Service Description

Coaching is a professional service that helps you achieve personal or professional goals, overcome obstacles, and receive professional guidance & support. Your coach helps provide accountability and insights on your progress, while also encouraging self-accountability and helping you increase your confidence. Coaching sessions can meet more than once a week if needed, depending on your mutual availability, and you and your coach can agree on alternative frequency of meetings. Unlike psychotherapy, coaching is not focused on clinical diagnosis or treatment; instead, it is focused on the goals you set (which can include mental health but also be broader). Therefore, your coaching sessions do not become part of your medical record. This also means that coaching is not covered by insurance, so this is a self-pay service only. If your coach is also licensed as a mental health provider, when they are operating in the role of coaching, they can draw on their clinical professional knowledge and incorporate this into their coaching practice, but they are not operating in the role of a therapist and coaching sessions with them are NOT the same as psychotherapy itself. If you are in need of mental health services and need clinical treatment, psychotherapy is likely to be a better fit for your needs than coaching services.
