31. Life Coach, Therapist, or Psychologist? How to Choose the Right Support

Listen Later

In this episode, I’m diving into a content-heavy breakdown of the different types of professional help available: life coaching, therapy, psychology, and psychiatry. While I’m not an expert or medical professional, I want to equip you with the information to confidently determine which type of support might be best for you. Here’s what I cover:

 

  • Life Coach: A life coach helps with personal growth, goal-setting, and moving forward when you feel stuck. They’re not medical professionals and typically don’t address deep emotional wounds but focus on helping you create momentum in your life.

    •  

    • Therapist/Counselor: Therapists work with emotional pain, relationship issues, and past trauma. They’re trained to help you process the past and develop tools to manage present challenges.

      •  

      • Psychologist: A psychologist specializes in diagnosing and treating mental health conditions like anxiety, depression, or behavioral issues. They provide evidence-based treatments but don’t prescribe medication.

        •  

        • Psychiatrist: Psychiatrists are medical doctors who diagnose and treat more severe mental health conditions. They can prescribe medication and provide medical management for disorders like bipolar disorder or schizophrenia.

          •  

          This episode is packed with information to help you navigate your options, so grab a notebook and get ready to discern what kind of help aligns with your needs and goals!
