What’s the difference between therapy and coaching?
Psychotherapy, therapy, or talk therapy is appropriate to diagnose and treat mental illness, heal relationship distress, and is generally longer-term than coaching. While therapy is often focued on the present and future, it also focuses on the past, including trauma. Therapists can also do coaching, but coaches do not offer therapy. Therapists must have at least a master’s degree in mental health field (social work, marriage and family therapy, psychology, mental health counseling, psychiatric nursing) and be licensed to practice psychotherapy. Students and associates can practice therapy under the supervision of a licensed therapist. Therapists can also do coaching.
Coaching is focused on improving a very specific area of your life and deals with present and future. COACHING IS NOT APPROPRIATE TO TREAT MENTAL HEALTH DISORDERS. Coaching requires client to be able to accept direct input and feedback to solve a specific problem, and must be motivated to follow through by taking action. By scheduling a coaching session you agree that this is coaching and is not mental health therapy. Coaching is unregulated and doesn’t require any degree, certification or licensure. Coaches can not do therapy.
