My clients are seen and honored when they arrive to our coaching. The shortest answer would be what my clients consistently share with me, that the space we create together is safe and they have a felt sense that they can lean into their inner wisdom to inform but most importantly, inspire a way forward.

Love Creek Coaching aligns with the system of coaching where we are partners in your inquiry or exploration of your goals. There may be questions, metaphors or other tools used to play with perspective but we do not advise our clients on how or on what to do in their life. Advice-giving is consulting and a different service offering all together.

A popular question! Our life coaching method is for people specifically looking at a situation or set of circumstances that exist today and is future-oriented. The client is curious, open and engaged in their own human experience to seek out positive feelings or future actions. We do not explore root causes or early-life experiences. We do not treat a mental health diagnosis or condition.

This excerpt is from our Wayfinder Life Coach training:

“Simply put, therapy is conducted by licensed mental health professionals to treat conditions like clinical depression, whereas coaching addresses non-clinical issues such as personal growth, financial well-being, and professional development.

While therapy primarily focuses on the past, coaching is generally more present- and future-oriented. It is a process designed to serve people who already function well by enhancing, rather than restoring, that function.

We like to say that therapy is to life coaching what a physician is to a personal trainer:

A doctor helps sick people get healthy, and then a personal trainer will work with that healthy person to reach maximum fitness. Similarly, we support people who are basically stable and healthy so that they can achieve high performance in their minds and in their lives.

If a client has unresolved emotional issues, unhealed trauma, or is experiencing difficulty with daily functioning, these are signs that they should be referred to a mental health professional.”

We coach people that want to be coached and being treated for a mental health condition or being in a working relationship with a therapist does not make you in-eligible to be a coaching client. The two can be very complementary.

We do not take insurance.
