There is some overlap between psychotherapy and coaching.
In our practice, coaching focuses on goals and tends to be more directive. We’ll explore your habits and practices with a commitment to centering your values alignments, accountability to yourself and your community, and work/life balance. Coaching centers on the here and now; if you want to delve into the root and history of an issue - psychotherapy may be a better fit.
In psychotherapy, we explore all aspects of who you are, digging deeply into the motivations and drives that manifest in your current life. In psychotherapy, we work with clients to develop a more connected relationship with themselves, their community, and the world around them. The overarching goal of psychotherapy is expanded awareness and cognitive flexibility.

You have the right to receive a “Good Faith Estimate” explaining how much your medical and mental health care will cost.
Under the law, health care providers need to give patients who don’t have insurance or who are not using insurance an estimate of the expected charges for medical services, including psychotherapy services.
You have the right to receive a Good Faith Estimate for the total expected cost of any non-emergency healthcare services, including psychotherapy services.
You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service.
If you receive a bill that is at least $400 more than your Good Faith Estimate, you can dispute the bill. Make sure to save a copy or picture of your Good Faith Estimate.
For questions or more information about your right to a Good Faith Estimate, visit www.cms.gov/nosurprises or call (800) 985-3059.
