service, product or program that is offered, is solely for educational and informational purposes only. This information is made available only as general supportive information for your own use, should you decide to use this
information.
Coaching vs. Therapy
While I, Veronica Anderson LMHC, LMFT, LPC, LPCC, am a Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist, Licensed Mental Health
Counselor, Licensed Professional Counselor, and Licensed Professional Clinical Counselor, I believe that mixing coaching and therapy blurs the boundaries of care. It is best that a therapy relationship and coaching relationship remain separate. Thus, in order to operate ethically, I “prefer to refer”. If you and I are working together as client and therapist/counselor with Golden
West Counseling, PLLC., I will be happy to refer you to a qualified coach to support you. If you and I are working together as a coaching client and I notice that you would be better served by a therapist/counselor vs. a coach, then I will refer you out for clinical support rather than provide therapy services in addition to our coaching work. This maintains the integrity of the
therapy/counseling relationship and values what is in the best interest of the client and supports boundaries in our clinical or coaching work together.
