Coaching

Coaching is a fantastic methodology for personal growth and development.

Most broadly, coaching is a directive, hands-on approach to catapulting your growth.

Generally, coaches do not have a specific clinical or mental health license. However, they likely have personal or professional experience that informs their approach, and they're likely to disclose and include their lived experience in your work together.

Coaches are likely to participate in sessions with you, lead you through visioning exercises about your future, and work with you on tangible, concrete tasks, which they will hold you accountable to session by session.

Therapy

Therapy is a fantastic methodology for personal growth and development.

Most broadly, therapy supports you in better understanding your past and present experience, alleviating mental health symptoms, reducing emotional distress, and/or creating and achieving goals around your professional and personal growth.

Unlike coaching, all licensed therapists have specific clinical training, work experience, and a state-approved license. Therapy is also eligible for insurance benefits, whereas coaching is not.

There are so many different forms of therapy that it's very likely you'll be able to find a specific form of therapy that resonates with you and your goals.
