Episode Summary:

In this episode of Beyond Private Practice, Liz Fernandez addresses a question many therapists ask: Can you balance coaching with therapy without burning out or blurring the lines? Liz shares her personal journey of managing both roles during graduate school and highlights the key differences between therapy and coaching. She emphasizes that, despite common beliefs, you don’t have to choose one path over the other. With the right boundaries, clear communication, and effective client agreements, you can maintain both practices ethically.

Liz introduces her "Five-Hour CEO Schedule," showing how to efficiently manage your coaching business alongside therapy, even with a busy schedule. She discusses the importance of focusing coaching on future goals while therapy addresses past traumas, helping listeners understand how to distinguish the two. Liz provides actionable steps to find the balance, communicate effectively, and leverage your skills to expand your practice.

If you’ve been feeling unsure about managing both coaching and therapy, this episode offers clarity and practical steps to help you start balancing these roles.
