What does it look like for you to work with my organization? ↓

My work with organizations looks different every time. Sometimes I’m working with departments within organizations to help their team or division increase psychological safety. Sometimes I’m working with individuals within organizations to help them increase their wellbeing through regular wellbeing check-ins. I also work with organizations to support them in reducing conflict within their departments or divisions. I have designed coaching and leadership development programs for residency programs. My goal in working with organizations is to support them in their efforts to do the work they do in the world.

What is the difference between coaching and counseling? ↓

There is a distinct difference between coaching and counseling.

The International Coaching Federation defines coaching as “partnering with clients in a thought-provoking and creative process that inspires them to maximize their personal and professional potential.”

While it is important to have a coach who is trained and credentialed and a counselor who is trained and licensed, the different between coaching and counseling comes down to the focus of each session. In coaching we are focused on the here and now as well as looking forward to where you want to go. In counseling we are focused on resolving past personal, social, or psychological difficulties often based on a diagnosis and treatment plan.

How much do you charge for your services? ↓

My hourly counseling fee is $180. A five session package for counseling is $875.

My coaching and consulting packages are specific to the needs of you and/or your organization and fees vary based on scope and time commitment.

I would love to talk with you more about these services. Send me an email and let’s chat.

What forms of payment do you accept? ↓

For counseling I accept cash, checks, debit, and credit cards (VISA and Mastercard) as well as HSA cards.

For coaching I accept cash, checks, debit, and credit cards (VISA and Mastercard).

For consulting I accept checks.

Where are your appointments located? ↓

Currently, I am only doing appointments via Zoom. My clients like the convenience of meeting online because they don’t have to leave their office or home, drive, find parking, etc. and appointments can occur throughout the day leaving more time with their families, friends, hobbies, etc. However, I will be adding a couple of office days in 2023. For consulting projects, I am available to come to your organization and meet in-person.

What can I expect in our first appointment? ↓

In our first appointment whether it is coaching, counseling, or consulting I make sure that we have completed all the necessary paperwork and then I get to know you. A lot of people who come to me to talk about how they rarely feel heard or understood. There’s a lot of research on the importance of a “good fit” between providers and clients, and I believe that taking the time to get to know you and making you feel heard goes a long way in our work together.

How do I schedule an appointment? ↓

Currently, the best way to schedule an appointment with me is to send me an email through the Contact Page of this website or you can email me at naomi@naomischwenke.com.
