Coaching & Therapy have many similarities, but there are also some distinct differences.
At the root of counseling is the treatment of a mental health or relationship issue that is causing significant distress for a person or a family.
Coaching, on the other hand, presumes that an individual or family are actually doing fairly well but are in need of some extra guidance and support.
One way to describe the difference is comparing a physical therapist to a football coach.
A physical therapist may help an athlete when they are recovering from an injury or issue that is causing a decline in normal activities.

Chronic illness is a family experience, one that is shared by all.

Although Parenting is often difficult for all of us, it is particularly difficult in families where there has been conflict between parents.
Parent Coaching is a service that supports individuals in recovering their parenting skills even when having great difficulty working with the other parent.
Parent Coaching is different from Co-parenting Counseling in that, Co-Parenting Counseling involves both parents while Parent Coaching involves only one parent assigned to an individual Parent Coach.
At Traverse Counseling & Consulting our Parent Coaches work with clients to support them in being less reactive to the other parent and their children, helping them differentiate parent-to-parent conflict from issues with their children.
