What is the difference between therapy and coaching?
Both psychotherapy and coaching draw from somatic, mindfulness-based, and contemplative practices, but differ in their focus and scope.
Psychotherapy provides clinical support for emotional challenges, trauma, mental health concerns, and relational patterns. Beyond addressing these challenges, the work uses our personal experiences as pathways to deeper self-understanding and recognition of the awareness beyond them.
Coaching emphasizes embodying and living from that awareness, bringing greater presence into our relationships, choices, actions, and everyday experiences. Rather than focusing on resolving psychological challenges, coaching supports the intentional practice of living with greater consciousness, authenticity, and connection.
Psychotherapy includes clinical assessment and treatment, while coaching focuses on the practical integration of awareness into daily life without diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. Coaching is not a substitute for psychotherapy.
Who is this approach appropriate for?
Somatic and contemplative approaches are appropriate for individuals seeking greater presence, self-understanding, and connection with themselves and the world around them. This work can support emotional processing, spiritual exploration and emergence, creativity, stress management, navigating relationships, and discovering deeper meaning and purpose. Rather than focusing solely on changing or resolving difficult experiences, these approaches invite us to become more fully present with what is arising, creating space for greater awareness, acceptance, and conscious engagement with life.
Within psychotherapy, somatic modalities may also be incorporated into the treatment of trauma, eating disorders, grief and loss, death and dying, emotional dysregulation, and other mental health concerns.
How often do we meet, and for how long?
The frequency and duration of sessions are individualized based on each person's needs, intentions, and circumstances. Some individuals attend six to ten weekly sessions to explore a particular experience or area of life, such as integrating a psychedelic experience, and return as new needs arise. Others meet every few weeks or months for continued self-exploration, integration, or support in navigating life's experiences. Some choose to meet regularly for six months or longer, allowing space for deeper inquiry, healing, and the ongoing practice of bringing awareness and presence into everyday life.
