While coaching and therapy can use similar tools like mindfulness, reflection, and nervous system regulation, the key distinction is that psychotherapy addresses mental health concerns, and coaching does not.
Psychotherapy treats mental health conditions, like anxiety, depression, or trauma, that affect daily life. Coaching helps you clarify goals, build skills, and make intentional changes. While both may use similar tools, the main difference is that psychotherapy addresses mental health, and coaching does not.
I encourage you to outreach and book a time to speak if you want to explore our working together!
The Midlife Program is designed for mothers navigating this phase of life who want support, connection, and practical skills to respond to life with more calm, clarity, and intention. It’s best suited for those ready to explore patterns, roles, and habits, and to practice tools that help regulate the nervous system and build resilience. It is not a substitute for psychotherapy if you are managing a mental health condition.
The Midlife Program is a deep, transformative experience. Because it’s designed for meaningful change, it’s important to be ready to fully engage and practice the tools you’ll learn. If you’re curious, the best first step is to schedule a call with me, and we will make sure the program is the right fit for you and go over the details of the investment.
