Coaching vs Therapy

While both coaching and therapy support personal growth and wellbeing, they serve different purposes and take place within different professional frameworks.

​

Therapy focuses on emotional healing, diagnosis, and the treatment of mental health concerns. It often explores past experiences, trauma, and patterns that may be impacting your current wellbeing. Therapy is a clinical service provided within a licensed mental health setting and follows specific ethical, legal, and confidentiality standards.​

​

Coaching, on the other hand, is a collaborative, forward-focused process that supports you in creating change, building self-awareness, and cultivating intentional habits to reach your personal goals. Coaching does not involve diagnosing or treating mental health disorders, and it is not a substitute for psychotherapy.

​

Although Amanda (founder + coach) is a licensed mental health professional, her role within Grounded Wellness Collective is that of an Integrative Wellness + Intentional Living Coach and facilitator. In this space, she draws on her professional background to offer mindful guidance, but she does not provide therapy in 1:1 coaching sessions, group coaching, or workshops. These services are educational, reflective, and growth-oriented in nature.

​

If at any time therapy or additional clinical support is needed, appropriate referrals will be provided.
