Is a Mental Health Coach the right choice for you?

“Here are some key questions to ask yourself in deciding whether mental health coaching is the best type of support for you.

Do you have a mental health condition that significantly affects your life? If you live with significant anxiety or depression, PTSD, schizophrenia, or another complex condition, you may need a level of mental health care that a mental wellness coach cannot provide.

Are you using, or would you like to use, medication to help manage your mental health? A mental health coach cannot prescribe medication, and therefore may not be the best fit for you.

Do you need to supplement your existing mental health treatment? A behavioral health coach can be a great addition to other types of mental health treatment. In a situation like this, it’s important to have a transparent conversation with your therapist and coach to ensure the care you’re receiving in each location is unique and appropriate for separate concerns.

Are you struggling with problems that are mainly situational or temporary, such as career troubles, grief from a recent loss, or stress? Behavioral health coaching may make sense.

Are you seeking a proactive approach to mental health? If you aren’t experiencing a pressing mental health concern but want to be proactive with your mental health, mental health coaching could be the solution.

Are you looking to become a better leader, employee, or member of your family and community? This kind of self-development is something that emotional wellness coaches excel at addressing.

Take Charge of Your Mental Health

Whether it’s a therapist, mental health coach, or another type of mental health care provider, reaching out for help is a brave step. With support, you can build greater self-awareness, shift your thoughts and beliefs, achieve your goals, and improve your well-being.”
