What is Coaching?

How is it different than therapy?

Coaching focuses on aiding clients to develop new responses, habits and skills to help achieve their goals.

Coaching helps clients identify specific points of conflict commonly experienced by healthy individuals and guides them to find practical solutions.

Coaching focuses on the client’s reported current state of being and looks to the client’s future goals to determine ways to facilitate change and personal growth. There is little emphasis placed on the past with coaching. The focus is on creating what the client wants now and how to move towards that.

Coaching takes clients perceptions and experiences at face value and does not attempt to draw conclusions about the clients underlying motivations or reasoning.

Coaching is brief in nature. Visits are typically 30-40 mins.

Coaching involves a finite number of recommended visits, generally for PCCC is 4-10, and does not facilitate an ongoing relationship with the client.

Coaching is not within and does not collect or engage in the exchange of protected health information and does not fall within “HIPAA”or other health information privacy laws.

Therapy deals with the diagnosis and treatment of mental, emotional, or behavioral disorders/disease.

Therapy involves following clinical practice guidelines, which make recommendations for the treatment of specific disorders or conditions based primarily on systematic reviews that summarize research evidence of treatment.

Therapy involves developing a therapeutic rapport between a therapist and patient in which each may share feelings and past experiences to help better understand one another and build a trusting bond.

Therapy relies on talking in order to assess the individual’s current situation along with past experiences which have contributed to the client or patient’s stressor. There is typically therapeutic rapport, goals and evidence based practices such as CBT utilized in order to meet the client’s goals and needs.

Therapy can be brief or longer term, but is often a longer term and continues over an undefined period. It is typically a commitment of months, or even of years.

Therapy deals with the disclosure of protected health information and is generally regulated by functions health privacy laws within, such as “HIPAA.”
