SERVICES OFFERED: The focus of tele-coaching /mentoring is development and implementation of strategies to help reach client identified goals.  Coaching utilizes personal strategic planning, values clarification, brainstorming, and support.  

In addition to being a coach, I am also a licensed clinical counselor in the state of Ohio.  Although there are some similarities between coaching and psychotherapy, I, as a coach, will not be conducting psychotherapy.  

COACHING SERVICES: There are major differences between coaching and psychotherapy, specifically with goals, focus, and levels of professional responsibility. Coaching focuses on where clients are now, and what they'll do to get to where they want to be.

Psychotherapy, in contrast, is a health care service with a primary focus to identify, diagnose, and treat mental health disorders.  Appropriate referral for mental health treatment will be made if it's determined client would benefit from psychotherapy.  

Coaching isn't a substitute for appropriate mental health care.

CONFIDENTIALITY: Client identity and information discussed will be kept confidential with some exceptions: 1] Client gives written permission to share  2] Information related to neglect, sexual / physical abuse of a child or elderly person will be reported to appropriate agency  3] Information related to client posing current risk of harm to themselves or others will be shared with appropriate person/agency and 4] Information will be shared if required by lawful subpoena.
