ADVANTAGES OF 1:1 COACHING
Many people need support with their mental health but their symptoms don’t require clinical-level care. Certified coaches trained in evidence-based mental health approaches can help fill the gap.
Research has found that in a one-on-one virtual care setting, the collaborative relationship was just as strong between clients and their coaches as it was between clients and their therapists, which predicts greater improvement in well-being.
Coaching is also appealing when considering individual care preferences; not everyone wants to see a therapist, even if one is available. Coaching can be a less stigmatized form of care.
Coaching by vetted, certified providers is a great—and increasingly, research-backed—way to serve people with moderate mental health care needs.
The team at Sweet Sobriety aims to do JUST THAT!!! Our coaches are certified providers using research-backed practices to support YOU on your healing journey. To get to know the team better - be sure to check out the ABOUT page.
