Episode Summary:
In this final episode of the Beyond Private Practice series on debunking the top 10 myths therapists have about starting a coaching business, Liz Fernandez addresses a concern that hits close to home for many: “Does calling myself a coach mean I’m losing my therapist identity?” Therapists often fear that embracing a coaching role will diminish the professional identity they worked so hard to build. Liz explains why this fear is rooted in a misunderstanding and how coaching can actually enhance your work as a therapist.

Liz shares how coaching is not a replacement for therapy but an extension of your skill set. It allows you to serve clients in new, goal-oriented ways without compromising the values and expertise you bring from your therapy background. By thinking of coaching as an additional way to support clients’ growth, you can confidently own both identities. Liz also shares her own experience of grappling with this fear and offers actionable advice to help you embrace both roles.

This episode wraps up the myth-busting series with a powerful perspective shift, encouraging you to see coaching as a natural and valuable addition to your practice.
