Coaching: How to Expand Your Services Ethically [featuring Carly Hill]","description":"Ever wonder what the difference is between therapy and coaching? And if you are a therapist who wants to expand your services with coaching, do you have any clue what to do, where to start, and how to protect yourself legally?\nIn this episode of the All Things Private Practice Podcast, I talk with Carly Hill, LCSW and business coach for therapists who want to add coaching to their businesses. We discuss an important topic for therapists looking to add coaching to their practice: How to do it ethically and protect yourself, your business, and your clients.\nHere are three key takeaways from the episode:\n1\ufe0f\u20e3 Don't just slap coaching onto your private practice: It's crucial to separate your therapy and coaching services into distinct business entities. This not only avoids ethical dilemmas but also ensures that you comply with licensing regulations and accounting practices.\n2\ufe0f\u20e3 Understand the difference between therapy and coaching: While some definitions focus on past vs. future-oriented approaches, the simpler distinction lies in medical necessity. Therapy addresses clinical and mental health issues, while coaching tackles situational and nonclinical problems.\n3\ufe0f\u20e3 Coaching certification is not required, but competence is essential: As a therapist, you already possess a wealth of clinical knowledge and experience. It's up to you to determine if you feel confident delivering coaching services in a specific area. While certification can boost confidence, it's not a prerequisite for calling yourself a coach.\nListen to the full episode to learn more about the ethical considerations of incorporating coaching into your private practice. And remember, protecting your license and serving your clients with integrity should always be top priorities.\n\ud83c\udfa7 https://atppod.com/107\n#AllThingsPrivatePractice #TherapistCoaching #BusinessEthics\n\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fListen to more episodes of the All Things Private Practice Podcast\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fSpotify\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fApple\n\ud83c\udf99\ufe0fYouTube Music\n\u25b6\ufe0f YouTube\n\u2708\ufe0f Learn about Retreats\n\ud83d\udde8\ufe0f Join the free Empowered Escape FB Community\n\ud83d\udde8\ufe0f Join the free All Things Private Practice FB Community\n\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\u2013\n\nThanks to Our Sponsors: The Receptionist for iPad, Alma, & Therapy Notes\n\n\u2728 The Receptionist for iPad:\nI want to thank The Receptionist for iPad for sponsoring this episode.\nThe Receptionist offers an iPad list check-in option where clients can scan a QR code to check in, which negates the need for you to buy an iPad and stand.
