Coaching is not psychotherapy
Coaching is a goal-focused service and is not a substitute for mental-health treatment, diagnosis, crisis care, or psychotherapy. Coaching may not be appropriate when a person is experiencing significant mental-health symptoms or safety concerns. We explain the differences before any service begins.
Questions people ask
- What is relationship coaching?
- Relationship coaching is goal-focused, forward-looking support that helps individuals or couples build communication skills, clarify expectations, and take intentional action.
- How is coaching different from couples therapy?
- Coaching is goal-focused skill building. It does not diagnose or treat mental-health conditions, is not clinical care, and is not billed to insurance. Couples therapy is psychotherapy provided by a licensed clinician.
- Which one is right for us?
- If there are significant mental-health symptoms, trauma, or safety concerns, therapy is the appropriate service. We help you decide before anything begins.
- Is relationship coaching covered by insurance?
- No. Coaching is not a clinical service and is not billed to insurance.
- Can I do relationship coaching individually?
- Yes. Many clients work on communication, boundaries, and relationship patterns on their own before or instead of joint sessions.
- How long does relationship coaching last?
- Coaching is typically short-term and goal-bounded, often a defined series of sessions with review points rather than open-ended work.
- How often are coaching sessions?
- Most clients meet every one to two weeks so there is time to practice between sessions.
- Are coaching sessions online?
- Yes. Coaching is delivered virtually.
- Do state licensing limits apply to coaching?
- Coaching is not a licensed clinical service, so it is not restricted the same way therapy is. If the work becomes clinical in nature, we transition you to therapy.
- What happens in a relationship coaching session?
- Sessions define goals, review what happened since last time, practice specific communication or repair skills, and set concrete actions for the week ahead.
- Is relationship coaching confidential?
- Coaching conversations are treated as private, though coaching does not carry the same legal protections as psychotherapy. This is explained in your coaching agreement.
- Can coaching help if we are not in crisis?
- Yes. Many couples use coaching preventively, to strengthen communication and intentional connection habits before problems escalate.
- Can we switch from coaching to therapy?
- Yes. If clinical needs emerge, we will say so directly and help you move into therapy with a licensed clinician.
- Do you provide diagnoses or clinical records for coaching?
- No. Coaching does not include diagnosis, treatment, or clinical documentation.
- How do we start relationship coaching?
- Use the Start Here page or call the office and ask about coaching. We review fit and explain the differences before anything begins.
