Counseling or Coaching?

A widely held misunderstanding about counseling is that it is only for people who are disordered in some way. Evolution motivated by distress is a part of a normal, healthy life. However, due to the stigma linked to traditional “mental health treatment” people in search of personal growth and emotional wellness may seek support from life coaches rather than highly trained professional therapists. Unfortunately, life coaches may only have a few weeks or months of training before being certified. In the personal growth world, it’s like choosing to work with the equivalent of a medical assistant rather than a board-certified physician.

If you are looking for positive action and personal growth, try working with a therapist who has a strengths based orientation like Lisa Bobby, LMFT. She has devoted herself to becoming an instrument of change in the lives of others through years of study and supervision in intensive, accredited academic programs at both the Master’s and Doctoral level, she has engaged in years of world-class clinical training, and has accumulated years of successful experience in helping others to grow.

Lisa's counseling practice emphasizes strength, growth and opportunity. When you meet with Lisa you will not be labeled with a psychiatric diagnosis. You will be viewed as a resourceful individual, and you will have the opportunity to develop yourself in a safe place with a therapist simply devoted to your wellness and growth. Lisa combines the power and depth of real therapy with the active change and accountability of coaching. The difference is that because the change is rooted in meaningful self awareness and growth, the changes are permanent instead of fleeting and easily discarded the way they so often are with coaching.
