How do I decide whether coaching or therapy is the better approach?
Coaching is generally reserved for those people who have specific goals to attain. Those who seek coaching often times believe they can work toward their specified objectives without being held back by their own or external resistance. Coaching can be done by phone and is a non-insurance billable service. Therefore, coaching clients can determine the amount of contact they have with their coach and are not limited by managed care. Coaching work often time takes place between sessions through email correspondence.Therapy is a more in-depth exploration of issues for the person struggling with ‘symptoms’ or who want to learn how to better meet their own needs. Therapy can be take place individually, in a group, family, or couples format. While therapy involves goal setting, this work tends to be more about personal discovery and not limited to behavioral change.
