Book a free consultationWhat is life coaching?
Life coaching is a forward-focused partnership that helps you get clear on what you want, understand what's getting in the way, and take practical steps toward it. Dana Peters works with women and couples in Lafayette, CA and online, most often around life transitions, relationships, and changing family roles.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching and therapy are both valuable, and they do different things. Coaching helps you clarify what you want in your life, relationships and other domains of your life. It also helps you identify what's been holding you back. Coaching can help you work through a transition or adjustment period, and build a practical path toward it. Therapy is often focused on diagnosing and treating mental health conditions. Dana Peters Coaching provides coaching, not therapy, diagnosis, or clinical treatment.
