OUR COACHING PRACTICE
In addition to the Mental Health practice at Coral Gables Counseling Center, we also have a Coaching practice. We feel that offering both gives our clients more options to choose from depending on their needs and life circumstances..
What is coaching and what is the difference between therapy and coaching you ask?
Therapists are archaeologists “encouraging awareness of past injuries in order to promote insight and healing.”* Therapists are trained to move clients from their past to the present so they can live a more fulfilled life.
Coaches are architects. They work with clients “on untapping present possibilities in order to link awareness to action”* – moving their clients from present crossroads and inaction that may be holding them back in building or rebuilding the future they want whether it be in business, career, or life issues in general.
