Therapists have long waitlists. If you don’t have a mental health diagnosis or don’t meet the criteria for one, consider coaching!

Many therapists are also getting certified as coaches and adding coaching to their practice because it helps people make real progress.

When what you’re facing feels overwhelming and you don’t know where to start, a trained third party can help you clarify your options and begin ordering your next steps. They listen without judgment, identify priorities, and translate big, vague problems into a manageable plan—so you can move forward with confidence.

Grief coaching helps people who need grief-focused support but aren’t seeking clinical therapy. It can help with adjusting to a changed identity, rebuilding routines, handling anniversaries or tough dates, building coping skills, and fitting grief into daily life.

Coaching can also work alongside therapy when roles are clear: a therapist may treat depression or trauma, while the grief coach focuses on routines, mindfulness, self-care, and other nonclinical support. Grief coaches are trained to recognize when a situation needs clinical help and will refer you to a therapist if needed. They do not diagnose conditions.

Starting with a grief coach can be a good option if therapists have long waitlists. You might not need therapy, but if you do, the coach can refer you and coordinate with the therapist if you want. Secular and Christian coaching options are available. To learn more, choose “Schedule a Free Discovery Call.”
