How does life coaching differ from therapy?

Life coaching is focused on the present and future, not diagnosing or treating mental health conditions. Michelle helps emerging adults build clarity, confidence, and forward momentum through conversation, reflection, and practical action steps. Coaching is supportive and growth-oriented, helping clients move forward rather than analyze the past.

How often are coaching sessions conducted?

Most clients meet with Michelle on a regular, consistent schedule, often weekly or biweekly, depending on what feels most supportive. Sessions are structured enough to create momentum, but flexible enough to meet young adults where they are.

What if I’m unsure about my goals or direction?

That’s completely okay, and very common. Many emerging adults start coaching feeling unsure, stuck, or overwhelmed. You don’t need to have answers before you begin. Michelle helps clients uncover clarity over time, starting exactly where they are and building confidence step by step.

What if my child isn’t motivated or doesn’t want coaching?

This is one of the most common concerns. Michelle does not force change or push young adults before they’re ready. Her approach is gentle, respectful, and collaborative, which often helps reduce resistance. Many young adults become more open once they feel heard rather than pressured.

Will this replace my role as a parent?

No. Coaching is not about replacing parents; it’s about supporting independence. Michelle helps young adults take more responsibility for their own lives, which often allows parents to step back from constant worry, reminding, or rescuing. The goal is a healthier, more balanced relationship for everyone.

What if I’m afraid of stepping back too much, or not enough?

This fear is very real. Michelle understands how hard it is to know when to help and when to hold back. While the coaching work focuses on the young adult, parents often gain clarity simply by watching their child grow in confidence and self-trust.

How will I know if coaching is helping?

Parents often notice subtle but meaningful changes first, less tension, more communication, greater follow-through, and a shift toward independence. Progress may not always be dramatic at first, but it tends to build steadily over time.

What if my child needs therapy instead of coaching?

If a young adult needs clinical or therapeutic support, Michelle will gently encourage the appropriate next step. Coaching works best when the goal is growth, direction, and life skills, not mental health treatment.
