Differences Between Coaching and Counseling

Coaching and counseling share similarities and often times are confused as providing the same service. However, it is important to note the differences between the two. Generally speaking, coaching does not provide diagnostic assessments, does not focus on processing past traumas, and the coaching agreement is not bound by the guidelines/restrictions enforced by medical insurance agencies.
