Coaching is more centered on the future. You are learning a set of skills to help you get to where you want to be. Think like a sports coach but for mental wellbeing. What sets me apart from other coaches is that I’m trauma-informed and trauma-trained so that I am able to discern when therapy might be warranted. I’m also able to incorporate nutrition, mindfulness, movement, hormone education, and much more.
While you can learn these skills in therapy, too, therapy adds in another layer of emotional processing that usually entails a past trauma(s) that has not been resolved. Therapy is also conducted by someone who went to a nationally accredited program, had to pass a licensing exam and is required to get continuing education.
