Life coaching is different than mental health counseling in critical ways, but both types of specialists offer benefits. Life coaches typically can’t diagnose and provide treatment plans for mental health disorders. Counselors and therapists do. Life coaches help people establish goals, find motivation, and achieve those goals. Their focus isn’t on mental health. A life coach uses motivational techniques to help someone accomplish goals that are unique to them and their aspirations. A person would go to a life coach for guidance in establishing more meaning in their life.

Life is a challenge! Self-doubt, ambiguity, and fear make us unsure in what direction to go. We seek relief but, often our quick fixes only compound our suffering.

The problem is not that you are flawed, incapable, or unable to achieve your goals. The problem is that you're simply...
