FAQs

Coaching helps clients:

• Understand how their beliefs impacted their identity

• Explore & receive education on impact of spiritual/cult abuse in your life

• Reclaim spiritual agency and boundaries

• Explore and redefine spirituality (or let go of it)

• Identify meaning-making and personal growth

Therapy helps clients:

• Treat & diagnose disorders based on symptoms 

• Uses clinical modalities (like EMDR, exposure, etc)

• Navigates and treats symptoms of complex trauma, panic, anxiety, dissociation, etc.

• Space for emotional processing

Goal: Supporting growth, clarity, and personal empowerment

• Clients who are emotionally stable and seeking clarity, growth, or deconstruction

• Individuals feeling “stuck” in rigid religious mindsets but not in crisis

• People seeking to rebuild life after leaving a high-control group or toxic faith tradition

• Clients ready to explore what they believe now, not process clinical trauma

Coaching focuses on:

• Exploring beliefs, identity, and values

• Reclaiming your voice after rigid or harmful religion

• Clarifying your spiritual (or non-spiritual) path
  Creating goals, boundaries, and a life aligned with your truth
  Building confidence and reconnecting with your authentic self

Coaching might be right for you if you:

• Are feeling stuck, lost, or spiritually confused

• Want to untangle beliefs from fear or shame

• Are deconstructing from religion but aren’t in a mental health crisis

• Crave direction, growth, and a safe place to ask big questions

• Want tools and support to move forward

Goal: Healing mental health challenges and trauma

Therapists are trained and licensed professionals who can treat:

• PTSD, Anxiety, depression, or panic attacks, for example

• Complex trauma from relational abuse

• Family of origin wounds

• Grief, dissociation, or emotional dysregulation

Therapy might be right for you if you:

• Feel emotionally overwhelmed, numb, or unsafe

• Are dealing with past abuse from a religious figure or community

• Experience panic, nightmares, flashbacks, or depression

• Need support with mental health diagnoses

• Are in crisis or struggling to function day-to-day

You don’t have to choose one or the other. Many people benefit from both at different times. If deeper healing is needed, a coach may refer you to a therapist. If you’re ready to move forward and rediscover your voice, a coach can guide that process.

Let’s talk about where you are and what kind of support would serve you best. Coaching is always trauma-informed, but not trauma-treating.
