Coaching


As a coach, my methods guide people/corporations towards specific changes, with less emphasis on and attending to psychological and emotional roadblocks. My coaching helps people catapult themselves into desired outcomes while honoring their own success, strengths, and competency. Some commonly identified differences between coaching and psychotherapy follow:

Psychotherapy

Coaching

  • State-board governed
  • Ungoverned/unregulated
  • More listening
  • More direction/talking
  • Therapy relationship only
  • Possible relationships outside of professional one
  • Emotional/Psychological concerns
  • Goal refinement and future focus
  • Healing/recovery
  • Life improvement
  • Client with possible diminished functioning


  • Coachee generally high functioning
  • Client may feel stigmatized
  • Coachee generally not stigmatized
  • Payment at appointment time
  • Payment for multiple future appointments
  • More nuanced and slow
  • Less in-depth and fast
  • Psychotherapeutic hour (45 minutes)
  • 15-minute intervals and/or retainer contracts 
  • Limited self-disclosure
  • More self-disclosure
