Coaching is a proactive, goal-oriented partnership designed to help you move from where you are today to where you want to be. While therapy often focuses on healing past experiences, coaching centers on building the skills, habits, and clarity needed to thrive in your personal and professional life.
When you work with a Spring Health Coach, you’re engaging in structured, forward-focused support built around accountability and growth.
What a Coach Does
A Spring Health Coach serves as a collaborative “thought partner,” providing a safe and non-judgmental space to help you:
- Clarify goals: Define what you want to achieve in your career, health, relationships, or personal growth.
- Build skills: Develop practical tools for time management, communication, stress management, and productivity.
- Create action plans: Break larger goals into manageable, achievable steps.
- Stay accountable: Maintain momentum through regular check-ins and encouragement.
- Unlock potential: Explore strategies tailored to your unique strengths and circumstances.
Coaches are professionals trained in behavioral change and goal achievement; however, they are not licensed to provide clinical diagnoses or treat clinical mental health conditions.
Key Areas of Focus
Coaching can support growth across several areas, including:
- Professional Growth: Career transitions, leadership development, workplace communication, and stress management.
- Personal Development: Confidence-building, boundary setting, relationship skills, and life balance.
- Health & Wellbeing: Sleep, fitness, stress management, mindfulness, and sustainable habit-building.
- Education: Study habits, focus, academic planning, and performance support.
Is Coaching Right for You?
Coaching is often a great fit if you feel generally stable but want help gaining momentum or optimizing your daily life.
| Coaching may be right if: | Therapy may be more appropriate if: |
| You want to build better routines or habits | You’re experiencing symptoms of depression or anxiety |
| You need help with time management or productivity | You want to process trauma or past emotional pain |
| You’re working toward professional or personal goals | You’re navigating a clinical mental health diagnosis |
| You want to strengthen communication skills | You need a clinical assessment or psychiatric treatment |
Important Notes
- Coaching is Not Covered by Insurance: Coaching services are not billed to health insurance. If your company-sponsored coaching sessions are exhausted, any additional sessions will be billed strictly as a self-pay expense.
- Simultaneous Care: You can participate in both coaching and therapy at the same time if clinically appropriate. They are not mutually exclusive and are often used together to support different areas of your life.
- Age Eligibility: Coaching is available to U.S. members aged 18 and older, as well as select teens aged 13–17 depending on your specific benefit plan.
- Session Duration: Your initial coaching intake session is 45 minutes long. Follow-up sessions are typically shorter check-ins.
