Coaching with Dr. Scott

Coaching is not therapy. There are a few key differences you need to know about:

 

Coaching does not constitute medical treatment for a diagnosed mental health condition. There is no diagnostic assessment involved in coaching. Coaching is simply a supportive conversation focused on helping you achieve your goals.

 

The strategies we talk about in coaching sessions will be my personal strategies for improving my life rather than empirically validated psychotherapy techniques.

 

Coaching visits are less frequent than therapy sessions. Visits are typically once a month or less.

 

Coaching is not covered by insurance since it is not a medical service, so all costs are fully out of pocket.

 

If you have a diagnosed mental health condition coaching may be a useful supplement to therapy, but it should not be used as a replacement.
