Coaching

• Forward Facing—coaching focuses on
  setting and achieving goals by
  leveraging strengths.
• Coaches collaborate with individuals
  and families to achieve the client’s
  personally chosen goals. These may
  be individual or family goals.
• Coaching Best suited for high functioning individuals and families
  seeking self-improvement, academic
  development, career advancement, or
  personal development.
• Coaching Uses motivational
  techniques, accountability strategies,
  and action plans to help clients reach
  goals. Their relationship is a
  collaborative partnership focused on
  maximizing potential and
  accountability.
• Coaches are not legally required to
  have a license, though many obtain
  certifications.
• Coaching follows
  ethical guidelines, but does not have
  the same legal confidentiality as
  therapy.
• Coaching outcomes help clients
  enhance performance, improve habits,
  and reach personal/professional
  aspirations.
• Choose coaching if you want to
  improve productivity, career growth,
  or personal development, gain
  motivation and accountability or
  overcome obstacles to success.

• Past Facing—psychotherapy delves
  into past experiences and emotional
  issues to address underlying mental
  health concerns.
• Psychotherapists work with
  individuals struggling with mental
  health issues, emotional distress, or
  behavioral challenges.
• Psychotherapists use clinical
  interventions like cognitive-behavioral
  therapy (CBT), psychoanalysis, or
  trauma-informed care to address
  psychological concerns.
• Psychotherapists and clients have a
  clinical relationship that may involve
  diagnosing and treating mental health
  disorders.
• Psychotherapists must be licensed
  mental health professionals (e.g.,
  psychologists, counselors, social
  workers, psychiatrists) with formal
  training. Therapy is bound by strict
  confidentiality laws (e.g., HIPPA) and
  professional code of ethics.
• Psychotherapy outcomes help heal
  emotional pain, improve mental
  health, and develop coping
  mechanisms.
• Choose psychotherapy if you need to
  address mental health concerns
  (anxiety, depression, trauma, etc.),
  work through emotional distress or
  past trauma and improve coping skills
  and emotional resilience
