Counseling, Coaching, and Consulting.

What's the difference?

Counseling is defined by the American Counseling Association as a "professional relationship that empowers diverse individuals, families, and groups to accomplish mental health, wellness, education, and career goals" and is a governed, professional activity. Our clinicians are licensed professionals they are limited in what they can provide and where they can provide it. Generally speaking, to receive counseling or therapy from one of our clinicians, you have to live in one of the following regions:

As we bring on more clinicians, our therapeutic services will be available to more people in more areas.

Coaching is not a governed practice. We provide coaching to individuals and families utilizing a wellness or holistic coaching model. These services may appear to be similar but they are different in both theory and practice. Coaching is defined by the International Coaching Federation as:

“partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential. Professional coaches provide an ongoing partnership designed to help clients produce fulfilling results in their personal and professional lives. Coaches help people improve their performances and enhance the quality of their lives. Coaches are trained to listen, to observe and to customize their approach to individual client needs. They seek to elicit solutions and strategies from the client; they believe the client is naturally creative and resourceful. The coach’s job is to provide support to enhance the skills, resources and creativity that the client already has.”

Our coaching services are not restricted to any geographic location.

Bottom line: Counseling is legally regulated and governed, it includes mental health services. Coaching is well, kinda self explanatory.
