Therapy and counseling are both terms that are used to identify a form of treatment used to help alleviate symptoms of emotional and mental distress as well as resolve behaviors, feelings, beliefs, relational patterns and body responses that one has identified as problematic. Therapists use different modalities to treat their clients based on the need and symptoms of the client. Serene River had a specializes in working with women. Teletherapy is therapy offered virtually using audio video conference software that is HIPPA compliant.

Therapy and coaching are both valuable tools for personal growth and development, but they serve different purposes and operate within distinct frameworks.

• Therapy, often referred to as counseling or psychotherapy, is a collaborative process between a licensed mental health professional and a client. It focuses on addressing emotional, psychological, and behavioral issues that may be causing distress or impairing functioning. Therapists are trained to diagnose and treat mental health conditions using evidence-based interventions and therapeutic techniques.
  

• Coaching is a collaborative partnership between a coach and a client that focuses on achieving specific goals and creating positive change in various areas of life. Coaches help clients clarify their values, identify obstacles, and develop action plans to reach their desired outcomes. Coaching is often utilized in areas such as career development, relationships, and personal growth.

We recognize that mental health and personal development are interconnected, and that addressing emotional well-being is essential for achieving lasting success and fulfillment in all areas of life.
