Integrated Care Pathway

Aligned but separate coaching and counseling services

When Both Coaching and Counseling Make Sense

Some individuals benefit from both licensed counseling and leadership coaching.These services address different but complementary dimensions of human flourishing:

Counseling addresses clinical and mental health needs, trauma, and emotional healing
Coaching focuses on leadership development, relational skills, and missional clarity

Key Principles of Integrated Care

Complete Separation

Counseling and coaching records are legally and ethically separate. Information is not shared without explicit written consent.

Ethical Coordination

If both services are engaged, the providers work with awareness of the other service, with consent and appropriate boundaries.

Autonomy

Participation in coaching does not require counseling, and vice versa. Both are optional and independent.

Complementary Focus

Counseling addresses clinical needs. Coaching addresses leadership growth. Both support overall flourishing.

How Integrated Care Works

Independent Intake

If interested in both services, you complete separate intake processes for counseling and coaching. Each service maintains its own records.

Explicit Consent

If you want both providers to coordinate, you provide written consent for them to communicate about your general progress and goals (not clinical details).

Separate Records

Counseling records remain with the licensed counselor and are protected under HIPAA and clinical confidentiality. Coaching records are separate.

Referral Option

Either provider may recommend that you explore the other service if they sense it would be beneficial. You maintain complete autonomy in accepting any referral.

Ongoing Communication

With your consent, providers may share non-clinical updates (e.g., "Client is progressing in coaching") but never clinical details, diagnoses, or treatment information.

What's Never Shared Between Services

Counseling details that remain confidential to the counselor:

•Diagnoses, treatment plans, or clinical assessments
•Specific symptoms, trauma history, or mental health details
•Medications, medication management, or medical recommendations
•Crisis history, self-harm risk, or other risk assessments
•Personal disclosures made in counseling sessions
