Coach or therapist?
A coach works on goals, habits and decisions. A therapist assesses and treats. Our guides explain the difference, what coaching costs and what a credential means.
How coaches are checked
Coaching is not a licensed profession, so there is no state board to check. What we check is the registry credential, by hand, with the date on the profile. Every coach signs the scope commitment before the profile goes live.
Registry credential
An ICF credential (ACC, PCC or MCC) at the ICF registry, NBC-HWC at the NBHWC directory, BCC at CCE, an EIA at EMCC or an AC accreditation, checked at the issuing registry and rechecked every six months.
Scope commitment
Coaching is not therapy, counseling, treatment or diagnosis; clinical concerns are referred to licensed care; clients are adults only. The date the coach signed is shown on the profile.
Said plainly
A coach without a registry credential can still be listed; their certifications show as self-reported with no verified mark. Not checked: government identity, insurance, criminal background, client outcomes, review authenticity, or specialties beyond the credential. How coaches are listed →

Frequently asked questions
Are the coaches on Psychology.com therapists?
No. Coaches are listed in their own section, separate from the therapist directory. Every coach profile carries the line "Coaching, not licensed mental health care" under the name, and every coach has signed a scope commitment: coaching is not therapy, counseling, treatment or diagnosis; clinical concerns are referred to licensed care; clients are adults only. For a licensed therapist, use the therapist directory.
What does Psychology.com verify about a coach?
The registry credential, by hand, at the issuing registry: an ICF credential (ACC, PCC or MCC) at the ICF registry, NBC-HWC at the NBHWC directory, BCC at CCE, an EIA at EMCC, or an AC accreditation. The profile shows which credential was checked, where, and on what date, and the check is repeated every six months. A coach without a registry credential can still be listed; their certifications show as self-reported with no verified mark. Not checked: government identity, insurance, criminal background, client outcomes, review authenticity, or specialties beyond the credential.
Is Psychology.com free to use?
Searching the Coaches section and contacting a coach is free. Coaches pay a flat membership to be listed ($49 a month or $490 a year, first 30 days free). No coach can pay for a better position: results follow your filters, then verified credentials, then the alphabet.
How is coaching different from therapy?
Therapy is provided by a licensed mental health professional and can assess, diagnose and treat a mental health condition. Coaching works with adults on goals, habits, decisions and performance, and a coach refers clinical concerns to licensed care.
