Coaching versus Therapy

IN ORDER TO UNDERSTAND COACHING, IT IS IMPORTANT TO COMPARE IT TO THERAPY.

The biggest distinction in working with me in this capacity is that I am not treating a mental health diagnosis for the couples and individuals I work with. Based on my specialty, we will be working on the sole capacity of improving your relationship on a deeper level. Our work will not include a thorough diagnostic mental health assessment of your own needs. However, based on my knowledge and training as a licensed clinical professional counselor (a couples and individuals mental health therapist), I am well equipped to identify when therapy is a more appropriate service for your own needs as a couple.

The skills and support provided will be given with the general understanding of relationships, attachment, nervous system regulation, cultural awareness and trauma.

Because we have extensive clinical specialist backgrounds, we offer transformational coaching, rather than advice-giving. We impart our knowledge to our clients- teaching them to critically think about the disconnecting communication cycle differently. By learning how to assess their nervous system more effectively, our clients thrive faster, and avoid developing a clinical dependency that is so common when deferring their relationship with their child to their child's therapist to "fix". 

Coaching focuses on identifying measurable and specific goals, and working towards meeting these goals without delving into the past behaviors or experiences that have made these goals unattainable so far. Coaching is appropriate for you if you are motivated for change, you know what your goals are, and you want support along the way.

In seeking therapy, clients are often unaware of the root cause of their challenges, need support to build self-awareness, and can be unhappy with many aspects of their lives. When seeking coaching, clients are generally happy, feel capable in multiple avenues of their lives, and struggle to move forward in a particular life area.

You have access to us!

As we are working on your nervous system differently, we are accessible to you for coaching in between sessions, via phone and email. Therapists have professional obligations and can only be limited access in between sessions, making you navigate your new understanding and skills by yourself. We offer help and support in tandem to your sessions.

Real clients, real experiences!

  • “Miran was absolutely amazing! She provided a safe space to open up about anything and everything you might need to discuss with her. She was very receptive and offered guidance that did not just "give you the answer" but guided you toward meaningful thought to address the situation at hand. She gives you the tools to succeed and the rest is up to you! I appreciate having found her and the strides I've made since seeing her, a truly gifted individual. Highly recommended!

  • Words can't begin to express how instrumental Miran has been not only in my daughter's life but my family overall. She is as we call her our own "Angel" sent from Heaven. My daughter deals with anxieties and depression along with medical demands. Miran has shown from the very beginning her expertise in her field but her true compassion and empathy for her clients. My daughter can now be able to deal with her diagnosis with proper coping skills and management in the most healthiest ways. Miran always demonstrates her willingness to go over and beyond the call of duty to which me and my family have been a true witness to having a great therapist can truly change your life for the best!! Miran has changed our lives forevermore!!
