The core difference is that mental health therapy is focused on treating mental health disorder while coaching is focused on supporting you in driving towards your goals when you’re in a place of relative stability.
If you feel like anxiety, depression, out of control emotions, crippling stress, or other distressing mental health symptoms are making it difficult to live a rich life, then mental health therapy is probably a great fit for you.
If you feel like you’re doing alright but that you feel like there could be more for you out there, that you want to go further and faster in reaching for your brightest dreams, then wellness coaching is probably right for you.
