What is Mental Health Coaching?
Mental health coaching is a collaborative and goal-oriented process that focuses on empowering you to achieve your mental health and wellness goals. Unlike traditional therapy, which may focus on addressing past traumas or diagnosable mental health conditions, mental health coaching is more targeted on specific issues and concerns. Thus emphasizing achieving goals and skill-building to enhance overall well-being. As the coach, I take a more direct approach and give advice on how to navigate obstacles in your path.
