Question 1

What is Life Coaching?

Accepted Answer

Life Coaching is a dynamic interaction that focuses on what can be changed now and for the future. Life coaching is flexible and essentially offers concrete guidance, direction, and feedback that helps individuals set realistic goals, hone in on effective behaviors, and overcome specific obstacles. Life coaching is NOT a substitute for psychotherapy or any form of mental health care or medical care.

Question 2

What is the difference between a “Counselor/Therapist” and a Coach?

Accepted Answer

A counselor/therapist often refers to Direct Service Workers or a person who is currently a licensed professional in the state of Georgia or is nationally licensed. A therapist can help individuals confront and cope with a traumatic past, improve their relationships with others (and themselves), and identify, process, and/or deal with their feelings appropriately. A therapist can also diagnose, monitor, and treat mental health issues. A coach is not a mental health professional (unless they are separately licensed as one). A coach is generally comparable to a mentor as they help individuals identify, set, and achieve their goals.
