Frequently Asked Questions

  • How do I know if coaching is right for me?

    Coaching is right for you if you’re ready to move from awareness into action. It’s for people who want to grow—not because they’re broken, but because they’re ready to live with more clarity, stability, and choice.

    You might be coming out of therapy, a difficult season, or a major transition and want help integrating what you’ve learned into daily life. You may sense patterns that keep repeating—at work, in relationships, or within yourself—and want support in understanding and shifting them.

    In coaching, we don’t analyze the past to diagnose it; we visit the past only to understand how it shapes your present and to build new capacities for the future. If you’re curious, motivated, and open to reflection, coaching offers a structured, compassionate space to translate insight into forward movement—one step, one story, one conversation at a time.

  • How is coaching different from therapy?

    Therapy helps people heal from mental health conditions and deep emotional wounds. Coaching focuses on growth, change, and action. Coaches don’t diagnose or treat; instead, we partner with clients to clarify goals, recognize patterns, and practice new skills. For many people, therapy and coaching complement each other beautifully—addressing both healing and forward movement.

  • What is the Hero’s Journey Change Model?

    The Hero’s Journey Change Model is based on the classic story arc found across cultures: a call to adventure, facing challenges, transformation, and return with new wisdom. In coaching, it becomes a framework for personal growth. Each client is the hero of their own story—navigating obstacles, discovering inner resources, and returning with greater clarity and self-leadership. It’s not about fixing what’s wrong; it’s about integrating experience and reclaiming agency.

    Mentor Agility’s trauma-informed coaching training, builds on this storytelling framework with rigorous, evidence-based education in neuroscience, behavior change, and narrative psychology. The program trains coaches to listen deeply, recognize patterns of resilience, and use the client’s own story as a map for transformation. Graduates are prepared to help clients move through disruption, healing, and growth in a way that honors both science and story.

  • What happens in a coaching session?

    Each session is client driven, where every session is a focused conversation guided by curiosity and accountability. We explore what matters most to you, identify patterns that may be getting in the way, and create realistic next steps. You can expect space for reflection, emotional awareness, and practical planning—without judgment or pressure. It’s about helping you find your internal voice so you can find your values, goals, and purpose - and then put that purpose into action.

  • What guides coaching?

    Organizations like the International Coaching Federation (ICF) and the National Board for Health & Wellness Coaches (NBHWC) set ethical standards and credentialing requirements for coaches.

    They emphasize maintaining clear boundaries between coaching, consulting, and psychotherapy—and making appropriate referrals when therapy or medical care is needed.

  • What's the basis for coaching?

    At its heart, coaching is about evoking awareness. Through reflection, questioning, and metaphor, clients uncover patterns, values, and possibilities that shape their lives. This process brings subconscious influences into conscious awareness—helping clients make deliberate choices that align with who they want to become.

  • How many sessions will I need?

    That depends on your goals. Some clients find clarity after a few sessions; others choose longer partnerships to support deeper change. We’ll establish a clear structure and rhythm together, so you always know where we’re headed and why.

  • Do you work with couples or families?

    Yes. FoxARC offers coaching for individuals, couples, parents, and groups. Couples and parent sessions emphasize communication, emotional safety, and shared resilience—especially when trauma or stress has impacted connection at home. Just like everyone has a story, so does every couple and family, and we can all grow from those stories, no matter the circumstance.

  • Is coaching confidential?

    Absolutely. Everything shared in coaching sessions remains private and protected under professional ethics. I’m committed to creating a space where you can speak freely and explore honestly.

  • How do I schedule a session?

    You can book by sending an email from the buttons under the “Services” page or you can call or text directly. You’ll receive a confirmation email and a short intake form so we can focus your first session around your goals and needs.

  • Do you meet virtually or in person?

    Most sessions are held virtually by secure video, allowing clients to meet from anywhere in a private, comfortable space. In-person sessions may be available in the Jackson, Wyoming area by arrangement. It depends on your preference.

    Special travel arrangements may also be arranged based upon needs or goals, number of sessions, or intensive workshop type sessions.

  • What is the cost of coaching?

    Rates vary by session type and length. Individual sessions begin at $250 for 90 minutes; initial consultations are $125 for one hour. We recommend purchasing packages to support sustained growth and accountability.

    Couples and group rates are available upon request. Sliding scale or limited reduced-fee options may be available for those experiencing financial hardship.

    Coaching emphasizes the importance of overall well-being, which includes financial well-being. Trauma impacts that as well, so I am happy to work with clients who express need.

  • Do you offer packages?

    Yes. Many clients choose multi-session packages to support sustained growth and accountability. Packages can be customized for individuals, couples, or organizations and may include written summaries, reflection tools, and goal tracking between sessions.

  • Why is coaching so expensive?

    Coaching is an investment in personal and relational growth. Each session involves far more than conversation—it includes preparation, follow-up, and customized tools to help you reach your goals. Unlike therapy, coaching isn’t subsidized by insurance, so the full cost reflects the coach’s professional training, continuing education, and the one-on-one time devoted exclusively to you. Many clients find that the clarity, confidence, and long-term behavior change they gain offset the initial expense.

  • Can I submit coaching to insurance, HSA, or FSA?

    Coaching is not covered by health insurance. However, some clients successfully use Health Savings Accounts (HSA) or Flexible Spending Accounts (FSA) if their plan administrator allows wellness or mental-health coaching expenses. I can provide an invoice with session details and credentials for your records. Please check with your HSA/FSA provider before scheduling if you plan to use those funds.
