FAQ

What is Coaching Anyway?

Coaching is a helping profession with a specific discipline. It draws on active listening, appreciative inquiry, and positive psychology to name a few. Coaching creates a safe place for you to dive deep while you work towards positive change in your life: at home, at work, and pretty much anywhere where you need support to see yourself more clearly. The sessions are grounded on a co-equal footing between the Coach and the Client. Although it is common for me to give homework and ask for you to complete exercises that will bring our your strengths, the most important thing is that you fully commit to the process of self-exploration within the context of reaching goals, whether concrete or feelings goals.

Coaching gives you a place to be witnessed and celebrated, a place where you can explore roadblocks or safely dig into perceived failures. Coaching empowers you to understand your strengths and use them to create positive lasting change.

Is Coaching Therapy?

Coaching is not therapy. It is unethical to coach someone in lieu of professional therapy, and clients needing therapy will be referred to a licensed therapist. Although coaching is a helping profession, it is not diagnostic and its work is grounded in the future. In some instances therapy and coaching can co-exist, but oftentimes coaching is picked back up as the client gains back a baseline of mental health. Coaching is not a replacement for clinical therapy. Although some aspects of coaching and therapy may overlap, they are different disciplines with different client expectations. I am deeply committed to honoring the mental health needs of each individual and will support my clients in making the appropriate choices of care.

What Does it Cost?

The full price of coaching is $125.00 for a one-hour session, although I have a sliding scale depending on client need. I have experienced the results of coaching and am deeply committed to helping everyone receive coaching and will work my hardest to work with each individual.

Sessions also includes daily emails (if deemed necessary) in between sessions and any homework assignments. Significant discounts are available for package and group sessions.
