What is the difference between a therapy and coaching?
Therapy:
- Can diagnose and 'treat' eating disorders.
- Can diagnose and treat other co-morbid issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc.
- Therapists are trained to help clients work on underlying issues exploring WHY the eating disorder might have developed.
- Therapy sessions are generally one hour and take place in an office setting.
Coaching:
- Does not diagnose conditions or treat them. Instead, helps support the work and goals of the client's clinicians.
- Refers to the therapist for treatment of any co-morbid issues (e.g. depression, anxiety, substance abuse, etc.)
- Coaches are trained to work only on the "here and now" helping the client accomplish day-to-day behavior challenges.
- Coaching sessions can be held anywhere, anytime the client needs them - in the home, at the grocery store, at the clothing store, at work, at school, at restaurants, etc. and coaches can be hired for 24/7 live-ins.

What are your fees? Do you take insurance?
I do not take insurance and currently only over private-pay services.
