Therapy vs. Coaching: Understanding the Difference

Sarahbean Falo is a licensed mental health counselor in the states of Massachusetts and New York. Through this website, Sarahbean offers both therapy services and coaching services. Clients must choose one service type and cannot receive both therapy and coaching services simultaneously from Sarahbean. If a client's needs change, appropriate referrals will be provided.

Key Distinctions

Therapy utilizes assessments for the diagnosis of mental health conditions and offers profound insights and healing. Therapy is a clinical service that addresses mental health concerns, emotional difficulties, and psychological challenges through evidence-based treatment approaches.

Coaching uses assessments as a proactive tool for growth and achievement. Coaching differentiates itself through its emphasis on assessment and measurement geared towards action and outcomes. This focus on setting clear goals, tracking progress towards these goals, and adjusting strategies based on measurable feedback is what makes coaching a powerful avenue for clients determined to see concrete changes in their lives. While therapy can offer profound insights and healing, coaching emphasizes structured attention for clients who are not just seeking insight but are intent on creating lasting change through action-oriented strategies.

Coaching is not a substitute or alternative for mental health counseling, psychoanalysis or examination, or other mental health services.

Therapy Services Disclaimer

Professional Therapeutic Relationship
