What is the difference between
Psychotherapy and Coaching?
The differences are outlined below
Therapy
is best utilized when you are in pain, need to resolve past issues,
relieve symptoms, and heal. Therapy focuses on relieving pain and
suffering. It looks at the past and present problems.
Psychotherapy
is done face to face usually in an outpatient setting. Most medical
insurance plans cover psychotherapy, if you have a covered diagnosis.
Coaching
is best utilized when you are looking to progress in an endeavor, to
set and reach goals, to focus better and produce better results in
your life. Coaching focuses on the excitement of moving forward in
life to new heights. Coaching looks at our passions, and where we want
to go and how to get there. If we are stuck, how do we get unstuck and
accomplish our desired goals.
Coaching is usually done conveniently over the telephone. Medical
insurance does not cover coaching.
