In this episode, I sit down with Dr. Natasha Cook, a licensed psychologist and certified professional coach — to explore the nuanced line between therapy and coaching.
We discuss what makes each unique, how they can complement each other, and what it looks like to ethically support clients on both sides of the line.
Whether you're a coach, therapist, or someone who's been curious about the difference, you're going to love this honest conversation.
