Coaching and therapy have both become more accepted in our society over recent years, but do you know how they differ? And do you know which one you need? 

In this episode, we’re getting into the difference between therapy and coaching, how to hold ethical space as a service provider (while acknowledging that you’re not a therapist), and I’m sharing why I think therapy is more important than coaching—and that’s coming from a coach! 

I’m not a licensed therapist, but I’m joined in this episode by my friend Dr. Nazanin Moali, a licensed psychologist and sex therapist, so I know we’re in good hands. 

Dr. Nazanin Moali (she/her) is an internationally-recognized psychologist, educator, sex therapist, and podcaster. Her private practice is located in Los Angeles, and she specializes in working with couples and individuals struggling with issues of sex and intimacy. She hosts a weekly podcast called Sexology, introducing the most intriguing findings in the psychology of sex and intimacy.

If you’ve been thinking about getting help, but you’re not sure if you need a coach or a therapist, we’ve got you covered in this episode!
