What is the difference between Counselor, Therapist, and Coaching


Once you decide you would like to find professional help, finding the right fit can be challenging
.

To simplify, let’s focus on three professional titles that may be confusing. Here are definitions from The American Psychological Association.
- A counselor provides professional evaluations, information, and suggestions designed to
enhance the client’s ability to solve problems, make decisions, and effect desired changes in
attitude and behavior.
- A therapist is an individual who has been trained in and practices one or more types of therapy
to treat mental or physical disorders or diseases.
- Coaching is a form of teaching and encouragement (one-to-one or coach-to-group) designed
to help individuals identify and meet goals of importance to them in their personal and work
lives.

Still unsure?

In general, coaching is a good fit if you seek a one-to-one supportive relationship to help
you meet and stick to important goals.
