Therapy addresses clinical needs and mental health concerns by exploring past experiences, including trauma, that contribute to current symptoms. It treats clinical diagnoses such as depression and anxiety and is often reimbursable through a client’s insurance. Coaching, by contrast, is present day and forward-focused and centered on personal growth and goal attainment without diagnosing or treating mental illness. Coaching is not covered by insurance.
