FAQ

Please note that coaching, support groups, and workshops are NOT a replacement for therapy and very different services. If you are interested in starting therapy with me please check out AK Psychotherapy

  • Psychotherapy is longer term in-depth therapy where you are treating a mental health condition/challenge, have a diagnosis, and unpack how the past impacts the present. Coaching is usually shorter term (can be longer too) that is goal-oriented, solution-focused and more day to day struggles that don't involve medical care or a diagnosis.

  • Support groups which I am offering here, are led in a coaching style. This means it is not therapy nor are we treating a diagnosis or mental health challenge. In a support group, there is a specific topic or theme and we are learning tools/skills/strategies, giving one another feedback and support, and I am leading. Group therapy is different, that may be more open process group, a specific mental health challenge, and the group leader is facilitating as a therapist.

  • Because this is coaching and NOT therapy, this is not a medical service therefore I cannot provide superbills. If you have a financial struggle and need to discuss cost with me, please reach out and we can try to make something work.

  • It depends! It depends on your needs and goals. With coaching, we work toward finding solutions and creating change so sometimes its shorter term. We can start with an introductory package of 6-8 weeks or 3 months and then check back in to see if you still need to continue. We can always taper frequency and longevity after the fact (ie after 3 months we jump to once every 2 weeks or monthly).
