Relationship Coaching

Coaching is forward-facing. Therapy asks how you got here; coaching asks what you want and what is in the way. Some people need one, some the other, and some need therapy first.

Who coaching suits

  • Individuals who keep repeating a relationship pattern and want to change it deliberately
  • Couples who are not in crisis but are not where they want to be
  • People dating with intent and tired of doing it by instinct
  • Partners in a functioning relationship who want it to be better than functional

From the practice

A vital aspect of our lives involves our relationships, our connections, and intimacy with one another. Our coaches provide clarity and insight while implementing strategies to uncover your specific relationship wants, needs and goals — and a plan to meet them and sustain them, whatever the relationship type.

Questions

What people ask

Is coaching covered by insurance?

No. Coaching is not a health service and is not billable to insurance. It is self-pay.

How do I know whether I need coaching or therapy?

Say what is going on at the consult and we will tell you honestly, including when the answer is therapy with someone else.

What do coaching packages cost?

Package rates are being finalized — ask at the consult and we will send the current schedule.
