Emotional safety
Healing and Processing
Clinical Support or Answers
Examples:
A) You’re not sure what is going on or how to get relief, you just need help.
B) Feeling like you’re ready to process trauma from the past, navigate your present impact and build skills to support your future.

⚖️ Mixed Results
You may benefit from both or either.
Healing & growth aren’t mutually exclusive. Both can help you achieve your goals.
They can work together, optimizing both:
Therapy for clinical support
Coaching for forward movement
Aligned and fully supported care team
Examples:
A) You wanting to understand how your brain style impacts your performance at work, have an advocate to write a letter for reasonable accommodations and build skills quickly.
B) Feeling like you would benefit from someone helping you work through complex social themes that therapy brought awareness to but you need practice, education or resources and a deeper understanding of application to your life.
