Coaching Services
We offer both in-person and video-based coaching .
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a non-clinical service focused on personal growth, skill-building, and forward movement in your life.
It is designed for individuals who are functioning in their daily lives and are seeking support with developing skills, gaining clarity, and creating meaningful change—not treatment for a mental health condition.
Who is coaching for?
Coaching may be a good fit if:
You are able to manage day-to-day responsibilities and stressors
You are not currently seeking treatment for a mental health condition
You are looking to build skills, gain perspective, and take action toward personal goals
You want structured support, accountability, and growth outside of a clinical setting
Some individuals choose coaching after completing a course of therapy, or alongside therapy with another provider, when their goals are clearly focused on non-clinical growth and development.
What can coaching help with?
Coaching focuses on present-day patterns, skill development, and forward-focused change.
Common areas of focus include:
Navigating life transitions, changes, or decisions
Strengthening communication, relationships, and interpersonal effectiveness
Developing boundary-setting, assertiveness, and self-advocacy skills
Improving confidence, self-trust, and sense of direction
Building habits, routines, and follow-through
Increasing motivation, accountability, and consistency
Enhancing organization, focus, and executive functioning skills
Clarifying values, identity, needs, and priorities
Creating greater alignment between your actions and your goals
Managing everyday stressors and responsibilities more effectively
Strengthening parenting or caregiving approaches and skills
Navigating career, work, or financial-related decisions
Recognizing patterns in relationships and practicing new responses
Building awareness of mind-body connection and somatic experiences
Channeling emotional energy into constructive, values-aligned action
How is Coaching different from Therapy?
Coaching is not therapy and does not involve:
Diagnosis of mental health conditions
Treatment of psychological symptoms
Trauma processing or exploration of past experiences for healing
Medical necessity or insurance-covered services
Coaching focuses on present-day patterns, skill development, and future-oriented goals.
Therapy, by contrast, is a healthcare service designed to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions. If you are experiencing symptoms that significantly impact your functioning, therapy with a licensed clinician is the appropriate level of care.
When Is therapy more appropriate?
Therapy is recommended if you are experiencing:
Ongoing emotional distress that interferes with daily functioning
Symptoms such as anxiety, depression, trauma-related distress, or mood instability
The need for diagnosis, clinical support, or mental health treatment
If coaching is not the appropriate level of support, referrals to clinical care will be provided.
When would coaching not be appropriate or need to stop?
Before beginning coaching services, we will review your goals to ensure they are a good fit for a non-clinical, growth-oriented approach.
Coaching may not be appropriate if:
You are experiencing concerns that significantly impact your ability to function in daily life
You are seeking support for mental health symptoms that require clinical treatment
You require a higher level of care, such as therapy or other medical services
If coaching is not the appropriate level of support at the start, you will be encouraged to seek therapy with a licensed provider.
If, at any point during coaching, your needs extend beyond the scope of coaching services, we will discuss next steps together. This may include pausing or ending coaching and connecting you with appropriate clinical or medical support.
Coaching may continue alongside therapy with another provider when goals remain clearly non-clinical and focused on skill development, personal growth, or accountability.
Your safety and well-being are the priority, and referrals will be provided whenever a higher level of care is needed.
Do coaches need to be licensed?
Coaching is not a licensed profession. While there are certification programs available, requirements vary and there is no single governing body.
As a licensed therapist, I am held to the ethical standards and regulations of my professional license, regardless of whether I am providing therapy or coaching services.
What is the cost of coaching?
Coaching is a personal, non-medical service and is not covered by health insurance.
