Coaching
What is Coaching?
Coaching is a collaborative process in which coach and client work together to clarify specific values & goals.
We’ll look at any obstacles which may be holding you back, develop action plans, and put them into practice while providing support & accountability throughout the process.
Olive & Oak Wellness provides a personalized coaching experience tailored to fit your unique needs.
How is Coaching Different from Therapy?
Counseling (also referred to as talk therapy) follows a medical model and is focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. In coaching, there is no mental health evaluation. Some additional key differences include…
Coaching focuses on partnering with clients in behavior change rather than acting as a mental health expert.
Coaching focuses on enhancing specific areas of life rather than treating & managing underlying disorders or concerns.
Coaching is future/action oriented instead of investigating & healing the past.
Coaching can occur anywhere regardless of location, while therapy can only be practiced in the state in which the therapist is licensed (for example in Maryland & Virginia).
