The Right Help at the Right Time: Understanding the Difference Between Counseling, Coaching, and Spiritual Direction and When to Seek Support

from ServingLeaders Podcast

In a time where it seems like almost everyone is looking for help for their mental health, how do you know if YOU might need professional support? And what kind of support do you need? It can be difficult to discern when “normal” stress or challenges become unhealthy…and even harder to ask for help or know where to turn. In this practical episode, Laura Yoder sits down with ServingLeaders Clinical Director Jon Sovocool and Licensed Marriage and Family Therapist Betsy Burton to learn key signs indicating that you or someone you care for might need additional help and to explore the differences between three unique types of support: counseling, coaching, and spiritual direction.
