FAQ
What is the difference between counseling and coaching?
Counseling and career coaching are both forms of professional support, but they serve different purposes and focus on distinct aspects of an individual's life.
Counseling is typically aimed at addressing emotional, psychological, and personal issues. It focuses on helping individuals understand and manage their emotions, improve mental health, and cope with challenges such as anxiety, depression, relationship problems, life transitions, grief, trauma, or personal growth.
Career coaching, on the other hand, is centered around helping individuals make informed decisions and take action in their professional lives. It aims to guide people in setting career goals, finding the right career path, enhancing job performance, and improving job satisfaction. Career coaches provide practical advice, skills development, and strategies related to career development, job search, networking, resume building, and interview preparation.
Who can benefit from therapy at Thrively Co.?
Adults, high-achieving professionals, women, parents, and couples who feel overwhelmed, stressed, or stuck despite seemingly “having it all together.” Additionally, we are a trauma informed counseling practice with experience working with trauma related symptoms and PTSD.
How long will therapy take?
At Thrively Co., our goal is to empower you to lead a thriving life—not to make you dependent on therapy sessions. Although this is a highly common question, there is no right answer. Therapy at Thrively Co. is tailored to you and your unique needs making it impossible to know how long therapy will take.
Do you accept insurance for counseling services?
Thrively Co. NJ Counseling & Coaching, LLC does not accept insurance for any services. We are an out-of-network provider. However, we can provide clients with a superbill for counseling sessions to submit to their insurance for reimbursement, according to their plan. We highly recommend calling your insurance company to learn about your out-of-network coverage so you can take advantage of any reimbursement you are entitled to.
Do you offer a free consultation?
Yes, a free 15-minute phone consultation is available to all new clients at Thrively Co. These consultations offer you an opportunity to get to know your therapist or coach, determine what service(s) are right for you, and ask questions before committing to an initial session.
