Yes. Our coaches adhere to the same level of confidentiality that our counselors do, following HIPPA guidelines for client confidentiality and parental consent for clients under the age of 18.
Coaching Questions
While both are helpful resources for personal wellness, coaching focuses on strategic, forward-moving action to reach individual and team potential and goals while counseling focuses on an individual’s overall peace of mind by addressing past challenges and hurts that affect one’s current mental and emotional health.
Simply put, everyone! No matter your vocation, life-season or daily responsibilities, we all need a little extra motivation, perspective or support to keep moving forward from time to time.
Coaching sessions generally involve an interactive relationship of open, meaningful questions by the coach surrounding the topic or focus the client wishes to discuss—all with the purpose of reaching deeper understanding and clarity towards informed and meaningful client action steps.
Rising Hope offers 60-minute and 90-minute coaching sessions depending on client preference. We also offer 4, 8, or 12 session packages as a helpful way to establish rhythm and build momentum.
While not required, studies have shown that coaching sessions are most effective when a client has spent time prior to session considering what specifically they wish to talk about in the session. So we provide a pre-session worksheet.
Because coaching does not specifically treat areas of mental or physical health, it is not covered by insurance.
Your Rising Hope Coach has received thorough training and certification from accredited programs of the International Coach Federation, the gold standard for coaching. All coaches adhere strictly to ICF best practices and code of ethics and are committed to ongoing training and personal development.
Because the client is always in the driver’s seat in a partnership, the pace, rhythm and session length is all up to you. You can opt for meeting on a session-by-session basis, or take advantage of diving into one of our 4, 8, or 12-session packages. And because everyone is different, we offer the choice of 60 or 90-minute sessions for you to choose from.
Coaching is all about gaining clarity, shifting gears, developing momentum or engaging areas where one is stuck, circling or overwhelmed. So whether you are in leadership, a parent or spouse or wish to discover and learn more about who you are and how you operate best in this world, a coaching partnership would be a helpful fit.
Absolutely! Some of our coaches have been helping couples navigate marriage challenges and crisis points for years. And they come with helpful tools for you to learn and use over and over again in your marriage. Some topics include: Interpersonal Communication, Boundaries, Sexuality, Family Dynamics, Changing Life-Seasons and Transitions, Sudden Crisis or Grief, Developing a Marriage and Family Vision and Mission and more.
You can expect empathy, compassion and a loving partnership that pushes you beyond comfort to your potential. Each coach commits to providing a faithful presence of empathetic and active listening, insightful question asking and strategic action planning.
Because we understand that there can be hesitancy surrounding “getting help”, our coaches are prepared to provide an initial “jumpstart” conversation just to help potential clients get to know the coach and better understand the process to make sure it’s the best fit possible.
We always say: In coaching, you get out what you put in. But as the client, if you come willing to engage with purpose, no matter the coaching focus, you will experience an output of greater clarity, focus and empowerment to set plans into motion.
All clients will be asked to read and sign a coaching agreement that will outline the terms and duration of the coaching partnership. While this is a sign of the commitment of both client and coach, clients are always given the freedom to opt-out of the partnership under the rare circumstance that they are unsatisfied or find the coaching unhelpful to them.
Yes. While our coach is versed in providing Christ-centered care, we respect and honor the beliefs of all of our clients.
