While I am a licensed therapist in the state of Illinois, I do not offer therapy services across state lines. Relational or personal coaching is different from counseling in that its focus is to facilitate personal and relational development, not to treat psychopathology. Coaching also requires the capacity in the client to tolerate direct input without it overwhelming or compromising one’s general functioning. Coaching is designed to uncover capacity and potential in the client with a focus on the client living up to his or her relational and personal potential. If I at any time determine that coaching is not the right fit (e.g. there is evidence of psychopathology and the need for therapeutic support), I will facilitate you finding a suitable licensed therapist within your state to offer the services you need, either in place of our work or in addition to our work. Coaching services are not intended to diagnose or treat mental illness or replace counseling services by a licensed individual within your state..
