Do I need therapy or coaching?
Both can be very useful, depending on the presenting concerns. Generally, coaching is useful for specific issues (for example, intimacy/sex, dating, career, coparenting, etc.), and uses a different approach than psychotherapy. A coach can help you get to the root of the issue and still discuss issues such as your past and family of origin, but they are more focused on the present and providing specific tools/skills. They often have a more direct approach, though this can vary. Coaching is often time-limited as well, though it doesn’t have to be.
Coaches are typically not trained in psychotherapy, but are trained in coaching in a specific area. Therapists, in contrast, are licensed to provide mental health care. They are trained to assess and treat mental health disorders including depression, other mood disorders, PTSD, many types of anxiety, addiction, personality disorders, and more. They use a variety of evidence-based treatments (Cognitive-Behavioral Therapy, IFS, Dialectical Behavioral Therapy, Exposure therapy, traditional Couples Therapy, and so on) to address these concerns.
People who are a good fit for coaching are not looking for treatment for a mental health disorder, but rather they are looking for guidance on specific issues. Sometimes, people will have therapy and coaching in conjunction with each other (from different providers). If a coach feels as though a client is better suited for therapy to address underlying mental health issues, they might refer them to a therapist.
Importantly, coaching is not a health service. This means that you cannot submit receipts for coaching to your insurance for reimbursement and you pay out-of-pocket, like any other service (personal training, for example). A coach cannot diagnose or treat mental health disorders, and if they become aware that you have an issue that would be better served by therapy, they will refer you to a therapist or address the treatment plan.
Lastly, psychotherapists are geographically limited to practicing within the states that they are licensed in, while coaches are able to practice anywhere.
Therapy and Coaching To Navigate Life’s Most Important Relationships
Dr Elana Hoffman supports individuals and couples who want more meaningful and authentic relationships.
ELANA
Individual and Couple’s Therapy
I provide individual and couple’s therapy through telehealth for anyone living in a Psypact state.
I focus on relationship issues as well as anxiety, depression, adults of dysfunctional upbringings, and people struggling with intimacy. I also have a speciality working with people who are going through divorce. I work best with clients who are engaged, thoughtful, and motivated for change. My style is empathic and direct, with a sense of humor. I believe strongly in the therapeutic alliance and the client/therapist fit.
I also practice discernment counseling, which means I help couples decide if staying in the relationship is the right choice for them. Sometimes the best path to a fulfilling life is to end the relationship, and I help people approach this decision intentionally and compassionately.
Sessions are $335/45 minute sessions
I am an out-of-network provider, meaning I do not work with any insurance companies directly. I provide a superbill with everything you need to submit to your insurance for reimbursement. I recommend that you contact your insurance company to see how much they will reimburse for sessions. Please be aware that you must pay out of pocket directly before sessions.
