Frequently Asked Questions
Your Questions, Answered — Because Clarity Fuels Growth.
Coaching vs. Therapy, Psychology, and Consulting
Therapy/Psychology: Focuses on emotional healing, processing trauma, and addressing mental health. A therapist often looks backward to help you understand how past experiences shape your present. Sessions may be covered by insurance and typically follow a long-term, ongoing structure.
Coaching: Future-focused. Coaching assumes you are already functioning well but want to achieve more. We concentrate on **goals, accountability, and measurable results**. Coaching is action-oriented and time-bound — most clients work with us for 3–6 months to achieve specific outcomes.
Why it matters: If you’re struggling with depression, trauma, or a diagnosed mental health condition, therapy may be best. If you’re focused on accelerating career growth, improving leadership, or achieving business success, coaching is the better choice.
👉 Therapy helps you heal. Coaching helps you grow.

How Coaching Works
- Consultation – We start with a free 20–30 minute consultation to identify your goals.
- Assessment – We review your current situation (career, leadership, or business).
- Action Plan – Together, we design a clear roadmap with measurable steps.
- Sessions – Weekly or bi-weekly 45–60 min sessions (virtual or in-person).
- Accountability – You’ll leave each session with action steps, and we’ll track progress.
Unlike therapy, where progress may be subtle over months, coaching is built to create **quick wins and measurable outcomes**.
