Frequently Asked Questions Everything You Need to Know Before Booking Choosing the right support is an important step. These answers will help you understand the coaching experience, select the service that best fits your needs, and feel confident about getting started. What is Life by Design Coaching? Life by Design Coaching is a personalized, goal-focused experience designed to help you gain clarity, overcome obstacles, make intentional decisions, and create meaningful change. Together, we turn your goals into practical action steps that support the life you want to build. What is the difference between coaching and therapy? Therapy typically focuses on diagnosing and treating mental health concerns, processing trauma, and healing emotional distress. Coaching focuses primarily on your present circumstances, future goals, personal growth, decision-making, and accountability. Although Dr. BT brings extensive mental health and relationship knowledge to her coaching work, coaching is not therapy and does not establish a therapist-client relationship. Coaching should not replace mental health or medical treatment when those services are needed. Which coaching service should I choose? Choose the service that most closely matches your primary goal: Life by Design Coaching: Personal growth, life transitions, confidence, balance, and purpose. Relationship & Dating Coaching: Dating, communication, boundaries, connection, and relationship goals Business Coaching: Business development, strategy, organization, leadership, and growth. Career Coaching: Career direction, professional transitions, workplace challenges, and advancement. Financial Wellness Coaching: Budgeting, financial organization, money habits, and goal-setting If your goals overlap, that is perfectly okay. Your needs can be discussed during your first session. Who can benefit from coaching? Coaching is ideal for individuals who are ready to make a change but may need clarity, structure, encouragement, strategy, or accountability. Services are designed for individuals, couples, professionals, entrepreneurs, and anyone committed to participating actively in their own growth. What happens during the first coaching session? Your first session is an opportunity to discuss your current challenges, identify your goals, explore what may be getting in your way, and determine what success looks like for you. You will begin developing a personalized plan with realistic and achievable next steps. How long is each coaching session? Standard coaching sessions are 60 minutes. The number and frequency of sessions will depend on your goals, needs, progress, and the level of support you desire. Do I have to commit to ongoing coaching? No. You may begin with one session to address a specific concern or determine whether coaching is right for you. Some clients benefit from short-term support, while others choose ongoing coaching for continued strategy, growth, and accountability. Do you offer relationship coaching to individuals and couples? Yes. Relationship & Dating Coaching can support singles, individuals currently dating, partners, and couples. Sessions may address communication, boundaries, recurring patterns, emotional connection, dating decisions, and creating healthier relationships. Relationship coaching is not appropriate for situations involving immediate danger, active abuse, or a mental health crisis. Additional professional or emergency support may be recommended when necessary. Are coaching sessions confidential? Your privacy is respected, and personal information is handled carefully in accordance with the coaching agreement and applicable laws. However, coaching is not psychotherapy, and coaching communications may not have the same legal protections or privileges as therapy records. How much does coaching cost? Current rates are listed on each individual coaching service page. Coaching services are private-pay services and are not billed to health insurance. Any available packages or payment arrangements will be explained before services begin. What is the cancellation or rescheduling policy? Cancellation and rescheduling requirements are provided during the booking process and in your coaching agreement. Please provide as much advance notice as possible when you need to change an appointment. Can coaching guarantee a specific result? Coaching provides guidance, strategy, resources, encouragement, and accountability, but individual results cannot be guaranteed. Your progress will depend greatly on your participation, consistency, openness, and willingness to apply what you learn between sessions. Is Financial Wellness Coaching the same as financial or investment advising? No. Financial Wellness Coaching provides education, organization, budgeting support, and guidance for developing healthier money habits. It does not replace services provided by a licensed financial adviser, investment professional, accountant, attorney, or tax professional. What if I am experiencing a mental health emergency? Coaching is not an emergency or crisis service. If you are in immediate danger, call 911. If you are experiencing a mental health or suicide-related crisis in the United States, call or text **988** for immediate support. How do I get started?
