Disclaimer for Coaching vs Therapy Boundaries

Coaching and Therapy Disclaimer

Coaching and therapy are separate services offered by Tricia Corso.

Therapy Services

Therapy is a clinical service provided by Tricia Corso LCSW to clients located in Colorado or Pennsylvania. Therapy includes assessment, diagnosis, treatment planning, and evidence-based interventions. Therapy is regulated by state licensing boards and is covered under HIPAA.

Coaching Services

Coaching is a non-clinical, educational, and goal-oriented service available to clients nationwide. Coaching focuses on personal growth, clarity, action planning, and skill building. Coaching is not mental health treatment and is not a substitute for therapy. Coaching services are not covered by insurance and are not regulated by state licensing boards.

Key Differences

• Coaching does not involve diagnosis or treatment of mental health conditions
• Coaching does not create a therapist client relationship
• Coaching is not appropriate for crisis, acute distress, or clinical concerns
• Therapy clients and coaching clients receive different forms, agreements, and processes

Clients seeking therapy will be directed to complete all required clinical intake forms.

Clients seeking coaching will receive a coaching agreement outlining goals, structure, and expectations.

If you are unsure whether you need therapy or coaching, please request a consultation to determine the best fit.
