The differences between therapy, therapeutic coaching, and mental health coaching

Psychotherapy

Psychotherapy or clinical counseling is conducted by professionals (e.g., counselors, social workers, psychologists, marriage and family therapists), who are licensed and accredited in the region where a client resides. This is unless counseling/therapy are unregulated professions within a region or providers are graduate students under supervision. As a minimum, licensed professionals have obtained a master's degree, undertaken board examinations, and undergone hundreds, if not thousands, of hours of supervised experience.

Psychotherapy is a preeminent, gold standard mental health intervention and can be considered part of a medical system. It includes diagnosing and treating mental health disorders as conceived and studied by Western allopathic medicine. Due to this, and other board-regulated aspects of licensure, insurance providers may cover or reimburse costs of therapy services.

 

Therapeutic Coaching

At Intrepid Therapy Collective, therapeutic coaching is a service offered by professionals who are either licensed and/or credentialed in regions other than where the client resides or are advanced graduate students in a mental health profession, receiving supervision at ITC during an clinical internship or fellowship. These professionals call upon their whole skill set and expertise they have acquired throughout their life and professional development in order to help support you in achieving your mental health, relationship and general life goals. However, therapeutic coaching services are not considered part of the medical system and they are not intended to diagnose or treat diagnosed mental health disorders as conceived by Western allopathic medicine. For instance, in their capacity as therapeutic coach, your provider can help you with general and specific life and mental health struggles such as fear, worry, and anxiety, but when working in this role, they do not purport to treat “Generalized Anxiety Disorder.” Due to this, their services cannot be covered or reimbursed by insurance.

 

Mental Health Coaching

At Intrepid Therapy Collective, mental health coaching refers to services offered by unlicensed mental health professionals, such as coaches, peer counselors, and lived experience counselors. Like therapeutic coaching, these services are not considered part of the allopathic medical system and are not covered by insurance. At ITC, mental health coaches are supported by, train with, and routinely consult with licensed clinicians. They are selected for their exceptional expertise, as well as their general skill as mental health support workers.

In many circumstances, the match between client and provider is the most important factor in achieving desired mental health outcomes, rather than whether you are receiving psychotherapy, therapeutic coaching, or mental health coaching. However, the best fit mental health service for you will be assessed and discussed during an initial consultation. In some cases, although a specific mental health coach may seem like the ideal match, someone may be referred to a higher level of care such as psychotherapy, in-person psychotherapy, or in-patient treatment.

Examples of folks this service is a fit for include individuals who benefit from more consistent check-ins, who are self-directed and prefer to receive guidance in their own time, who find short asynchronous check-ins therapeutically sufficient, or prefer to have spaced out synchronous sessions with some as-needed asynchronous check-ins sprinkled in.

Asynchronous coaching can include guided or collaborative journaling, working through a self-development program or workbook with guidance and feedback, dream work, accountability check-ins and goal coaching (and other executive functioning support), general daily and weekly processing, or coaching around a topic your therapist holds an expertise in.

The fee structure is typically per 15 or 30 minute email response and varies from clinician to clinician. Please contact with inquiries.
