Frequently Asked Questions

What is the difference between therapy and coaching?

While Doctor BeneFIT does have a Ph.D. in Psychology, her coaching services are not the same as mental health counselling or therapy.  Doctor BeneFIT does not provide medication, does not offer diagnosis or treatment, nor is coaching focused on your past.  Coaching provides encouragement, goal setting and attainment, prioritizes values, and most importantly provides support and accountability. Doctor BeneFIT focuses on your strengths, helps you create healthy habits, assists with getting you out of life ruts, and helps you create and implement a game plan for your future. 

How is Doctor Benefit different from other Life and Wellness Coaches? 

Dr. Danielle (a.k.a. Doctor BeneFIT) has over 14 years of experience as a psychotherapist with a Ph.D. in Psychology.  In addition, she has multiple years of experience in the health and fitness industry with certifications in Nutrition, Fitness, Sleep Science, and Holistic Wellness. 

 

Doctor BeneFIT takes on a holistic approach, as opposed to only focusing on fitness and nutrition.  Doctor BeneFITs programs and coaching models are a combination of traditional life coaching, lifestyle coaching, holistic living, quality nutrition, optimal sleep, proper physical activity, emotional wellness, and stress management.  There are an abundance of wonderful personal trainers, counselors, nutritionists, dietitians, etc. that practice in this world.  The difference with Doctor BeneFIT is the holistic approach and understanding that every element of our human existence matters; each human element matters just as much as the next.  Physical activity is important, nutrition is important, proper sleep is important, emotional regulation is important, stress management, self-care, self-esteem, family, work, finances, support system are all equally important.  Doctor BeneFIT recognizes the equal importance all of these elements AND that it is the fusion and balance of all of the elements that creates a healthy, happy, joyful life. 

What is Holistic Life Coaching? 

Holistic life coaches enhance personal development and health from a multi-directional approach – viewing the person as a complete being – rather than an individual who may have an unresolved challenge. When a coach views all possible contributions to the current situation, a better and more comprehensive resolution is created. Holistic simply means “holism” or being “whole”. Living successfully is living harmoniously and fully balanced. Holistic life coaching is strategically developed to unblock your client’s emotional pathways, liberate his or her body, mind, and spirit. Holistic life coaching discovers your client’s personal path to holistic wellness, and boost brain power, as well as achievement of lasting results.
