Counseling vs. Coaching
Not Sure Which Path is Right for You?
Counseling is ideal when you’re processing trauma, loss, or ongoing challenges that affect your daily life.
Coaching is best when you’re ready to set goals, create structure, and move forward with support.
Both approaches are rooted in safety, perspective, and action—always meeting you where you are.
