What's the difference between therapy and coaching?

Coaching

• Coaching concentrates more on problem-solving and action steps.

• It does not focus on underlying psychological issues that may be contributing to ongoing problems.

• It is more short-term and laser-focused on reaching your goals.

• You have the option of confronting problems during one intensive 3-hour session or throughout many 1-hour sessions.

• Coaching may involve resilience coaching, executive coaching, relationship coaching, retirement coaching, identity coaching, etc.

Therapy

• Therapy uses therapeutic strategies that involve exploration, problem-solving, reflection, insight, awareness, and action.

• Works with more complex issues that may delve into many topics.

• Focuses on deep, ingrained, underlying issues to assist with long-lasting change

• Provides evidence-based treatment for insight, growth, and improving your quality of life.

Do you accept insurance?

---

As a private-pay service, I do not accept insurance. I am not an in-network provider with any insurance, nor do I work directly with insurance companies. If you have a PPO plan, I can provide you with a superbill upon request. You can use the superbill to apply for reimbursement from the insurance company. However, there is no guarantee that your insurance will reimburse you for your treatment. Keep in mind that Insurance companies require a formal diagnosis to apply for reimbursement. In addition, your insurance company may ask for your therapy records. Since the majority of my clients want the highest level of privacy, this is usually undesirable.

Why don't you accept insurance?

---

Sometimes people go through especially challenging periods in their life and seek support, but don't necessarily meet the criteria for a formal diagnosis. Additionally, there may have been a time when that person briefly met the criteria for a mental health diagnosis but generally does not meet the criteria. In order to use your insurance, however, your therapist has to provide them with a diagnosis. Also, insurance companies may request to view therapy records. The diagnosis would remain in your insurance records your entire life without the possibility to refute or change them - even after the situatiions in your life have improved. Private-pay provides and allows services without the restrictions of insurance regulations, insurance adjusters, or their third-party adjusting agencies. Client confidentiality and discretion are of the utmost importance to me.
