Career coaching is shorter-term and supports and guides individuals to maximize their potential. A career coach may help an individual with their career choices and support them with the issues they face in the workplace. Some support may include providing support with resumes, navigating workplace issues, assisting with advocating for workplace accommodations, enhancing individuals interviewing skills, job searching and matching, and administering and interpreting assessments to help individuals achieve their career goals.

A CBT (Cognitive Behavioral Therapy) coach provides evidence-based interventions to support individuals in identifying and changing negative or unhelpful thought patterns and behaviors that may be creating roadblocks and stopping them from achieving their personal or professional goals.

Coaching involves a solution-focused approach with steps to getting you to where you wish to be next. Coaching is also focused on learning from experience and creating solutions and small steps to thinking and acting in different ways and moving forward. Coaching is usually short-term.

Therapy is a medical treatment for those typically with a mental health diagnosis. Therapy is focused on understanding the past and healing from trauma. Therapy is usually long-term.

Note: Coaching is not a substitute for any mental health service. Only a qualified doctor or psychotherapist is legally allowed to diagnose a patient.
