Life Coach vs. Therapist
About Scherdin Coaching
When it comes to the difference between coaching and therapy, it is a personal choice of ethics for me to share an explanation on how and why I run my practices separately. I hold a license in therapy in the state of Kentucky. I must be clear so that the beautiful people who seek me out get exactly what they need.
When comparing the two options, traditional therapy is focused on deep healing, wounds left unhealed often as far back as birth to early 20’s that create problems and hold you back in your adult life. Therapy, put simply, is the help needed when there is a mental health concern.
Coaching is for anyone who wants to soar to new heights. Coaching helps you gain understanding, knowledge, and experiences that lead you to create a more fulfilling life. When you are looking for support in navigating difficult situations and other circumstances or to improve stressful relationships in your life, coaching will better address your goals.
A coach walks alongside you and lets you know with an expert eye that you are moving in the right direction to achieve your goals. It is goal-based, focused on being present in the moment, and honors the past as you look towards the future.
Is Coaching for You?
- Do you need help navigating your current situation?
- Are you feeling out of control, angry, sad or even hopeless?
- Is your relationship unfulfilling?
- Is there a lack of connection?
- Do aspects of your life have you stressed?
- Do you want help with communication?
- Is setting boundaries hard for you?
- Are you a people pleaser to your own detriment?
Everyone could use a helping hand in life – we weren’t designed to face things alone! But, if your answer to any of the questions above is “Yes!” or even a tentative “Sometimes…” then coaching can help you out of the rut you might feel that you’re stuck in.
Even if you’re not sure or would like more information before you make a decision, I encourage you to schedule a free 15-minute mini session with me.
What You’ll Get at Scherdin Coaching
At Scherdin Coaching, you’ll be able to work directly with me in a non-judgmental, compassionate setting. All participants will get access to your coach in between sessions; practical and extremely helpful tools to move you more quickly toward your goal; and, in addition, you’ll receive videos of these tools so you can practice and perfect them throughout the week.
Individuals will get a unique, tailored experience and groups will obtain the growth and understanding that I encourage together, and that’s a very special thing to have. Both services will benefit those who engage with me, a licensed marriage and family systems therapist who holds a Master’s degree and has a very successful professional track record.
