For leaders
Some leaders come looking for a coach, some for a therapist, and some aren't sure yet. Here's how to find the one that fits you.
Both look at the whole person, at work and at home. The difference is in what each one can do.
Our CEO, Eric McClerren, coaches senior leaders, and that work has its own home at McClerren.co. Coaching can:
Work with you wherever you live
Include your boss, board, or team, with your OK, when it helps
Come to your office for a half or full day, and even sit in on your meetings
Draw on a leadership assessment
Be paid for by your company
Our therapists see leaders in person in McLean, or virtually anywhere in Virginia. Therapy can:
Treat clinical conditions, like depression, an anxiety disorder, or the lasting effects of trauma
Use specialized approaches, like EMDR, a well-researched method for working through painful memories
Stay between you and your therapist, with the legal protections therapy carries
Be partly reimbursed through out-of-network insurance benefits
The line isn't always sharp. You don't need a diagnosis to start therapy, and many people come to us without one. For a leader working through stress about work, therapy can look a lot like coaching. What usually decides it is practical: where you live, whether your company is paying or involved, and whether something clinical is part of the picture. If you're not sure, start with a free intro call here. If coaching fits better, we'll point you to McClerren.co. And when someone who reaches out for coaching needs something closer to therapy, we'll introduce them to one of our clinicians.
