Life Coaching vs Therapy
-
Psychotherapy is a way to help individuals with a broad variety of mental illnesses and emotional difficulties. Psychotherapy can help eliminate or control troubling symptoms so a person can function better and can increase well-being and healing.

Coaching does not provide any psychoeducational evaluations or diagnoses.
-
Coaching focuses on setting and achieving goals to a specific identified task; psychotherapy focuses on mental health and emotional healing.
