What’s the Difference?
Trying to figure out which one is right for you? Here is some info to help. You can also schedule a free consultation call and we can figure it out together!
|
|
- Specific area of focus. I work with people on relationships.
|
- Only focuses on the present and future.
|
|
|
- Focuses on the how. Where are the blocks and how to move forward?
|
- Task/action-oriented. Problem-solving.
|
- No location restrictions, can work with anyone anywhere.
|
- Not covered by insurance. No diagnosis.
|
- Can still deep dive. Isn’t just surface level or solely about behavior change because it’s present/future focused and action-oriented.
|
|
|
- The focus is on mental health diagnosis. When mental health is impacting your everyday life and the priority is to improve functioning.
|
- Focuses on the past, present, and/or future. Connecting all three.
|
|
|
- Focuses on the why. What’s underneath the blocks/ behaviors, patterns, and emotions?
|
- Emotion-oriented goals. Insight-oriented goals.
|
- Location specific. Only folks in MA where I’m licensed.
|
- Insurance may cover a portion of the cost with OON benefits. Using insurance requires a DSM diagnosis.
|
- Treatment must be related to a diagnosis. So goals outside of mental health are only ok if you have a diagnosis and there’s a connection between the goal and your diagnosis. For example, a goal about your relationships works if your relationships are impacted by your anxiety diagnosis.
|
Where Do They Overlap?
- Can identify places you’re getting stuck and problem-solving how to move through your blocks.
- Can focus on skill building.
- Can build self-awareness.
- Recognize patterns.
