Coaches and therapists both exist to help individuals achieve their goals and enhance their overall wellness. Depending on one’s needs, many individuals may feel that one is a better fit – while others receive support from both concurrently.

Teens tend to love life coaches because we become their mentors and guides. Life coaching prioritizes discovering who a person is, then supports them to see and achieve their fullest potential. It puts them in the driver’s seat, using empowerment and encouragement-based approaches to sessions; it’s collaborative versus analytic and prescriptive. Life coaching also offers a safe and judgment-free space for teens to self-express and see what’s truly possible for them.
