Counseling or Coaching? Two interventions for Adults that Function Together Like Peanut Butter and Chocolate

Nov 1

Patty Laushman, Founder and Head Coach of Thrive Autism Coaching Services, shares her work with Dr. Marlo Payne Thurman, a licensed mental health therapist and President of US Autism Association, to explore the differences and synergy between coaching and counseling for adults across the autism spectrum. With topics ranging from executive and social functioning to trauma, social anxiety, and depression, this session provides clear differentiation between coaching and counseling and emphasizes the “happy marriage“ that often occurs when these two interventions are combined.
