individual therapy + coaching

Coaches + Therapists at Method

Therapy + Coaching Office at Method

At Method, we have providers who offer both therapy + coaching services not only because we think both are beneficial (& fabulous) modalities, but also because we value providing options for individuals in search of some support.

Therapy + Coaching: Differences
Therapy/Counseling (MN Residents Only):

• Provided by a licensed clinician
  • To become licensed, one must complete a master's degree or higher in counseling psychology, standardized testing, hundreds of hours of internships + thousands of hours of post graduate supervision with experienced counselors as well as loads of continuing education requirements to maintain licensure. 
  • Can only be offered in the state(s) in which the clinician is licensed
• Provides assessment, diagnosis and treatment for all mental health diagnoses
• Focuses on both the past and the present life of individual

Coaching (Giftedness, Creative, Life, Career):

• Focuses on setting and achieving goals in the present and future, not as interested in the past
• Does not involve a mental health diagnosis
• There is no licensing or particular training or credential required to work as a coach. Licensed clinicians are generally qualified to provide coaching services
• Can allow providers to work virtually with out-of-state clients​

Therapy + Coaching: Similarities

• Help people set and achieve goals
• Create a healing relationship between the client and provider that helps create change
• Can be provided in-person or virtually​​

Whether we use counseling or coaching methods is based on each individual's needs, goals + preferences. We offer individual counseling + coaching both in-office and virtually.
