WHAT IS A MENTAL HEALTH COACH?
Mental health coaching is a proactive partnership that empowers you to gain self-awareness, master practical tools, and live a more purposeful, rewarding life. It is not therapy.
"They're specially trained professionals who help people develop greater self- awareness, implement tools to better manage their lives, and pursue specific mental health goals. Coaches help people with a range of conditions, from stress, burnout, and anxiety to those who need support through life's transitions, tough feelings like anger or relationship issues. Mental health coaching is designed to get you back on track when you're feeling stuck and help you create a more rewarding life."
