While they may at times overlap, coaching is not therapy. Coaches do not diagnose or treat. While mindful of how the past impacts us, coaching focuses on the present, and how to move forward in support of wellness goals, healthier lifestyle and values-driven behavior change. Therapy with a licensed mental health clinician goes deep into the past focusing on diagnoses, treatment, and processing trauma history. It might help to think of scuba diving vs snorkeling, or a doctor vs a personal trainer.
