People that work with a coach often find that they gain a new sense of clarity, motivation, and independence.

Q: What is the difference between coaching and therapy?

A: Coaching does not focus on "why," but "what now?" Coaches help clients find solutions for the future, not analyze the past. At times it may be necessary to acknowledge previous behavior, but it is usually motivated by the search for a positive, more effective lifestyle. Most importantly, coaches do not treat clinical disorders such as anxiety, depression, addiction, or phobias.
