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

  1. Consultation – We start with a free 20–30 minute consultation to identify your goals.
  2. Assessment – We review your current situation (career, leadership, or business).
  3. Action Plan – Together, we design a clear roadmap with measurable steps.
  4. Sessions – Weekly or bi-weekly 45–60 min sessions (virtual or in-person).
  5. 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**.

👉 From consultation to transformation.

We offer flexible pricing to fit different needs:

  • Hourly coaching: Pay per session — ideal for specific goals like LinkedIn updates, interview practice, or targeted leadership challenges.
