Helpful answers about coaching, spiritual reflection, session format, payment, and whether this support may be a good fit for you.
These frequently asked questions explain the nature of Dr. Fauser Coaching, how sessions work, and what clients can expect. Coaching provides a thoughtful space for reflection, meaning-making, goal clarification, and supportive movement through grief, transition, caregiving, retirement, faith questions, and life change.
No. Coaching and therapy are different forms of support.
Therapy is provided by licensed mental health professionals trained to assess, diagnose, and treat mental health conditions such as depression, anxiety, trauma, and significant emotional distress.
Coaching focuses on reflective conversation, life transitions, meaning-making, spiritual exploration, goal clarification, and supportive movement through change.
My coaching practice is designed to support individuals navigating grief, retirement, caregiving, spiritual questions, purpose, and life transition. It is not psychotherapy, mental health treatment, or crisis care.
If clinical mental health care would be more appropriate, referrals can be discussed.
No. Coaching services are generally not covered by health insurance.
Because coaching is not psychotherapy or medical treatment, insurance reimbursement typically does not apply.
Clients are responsible for the full fee for coaching services.
Only if you would like it to be.
Some individuals seek explicitly faith-informed conversations. Others prefer broader spiritual reflection focused on meaning, values, purpose, or life transition.
My background includes graduate theological training, and I welcome respectful exploration of spiritual, religious, existential, and meaning-centered questions.
Individuals from diverse beliefs, traditions, and perspectives are welcome.
Spiritual coaching offers space for thoughtful exploration of questions related to meaning, purpose, faith, identity, discernment, and personal growth.
Topics may include grief and spirituality, faith transitions or doubt, retirement and purpose, meaning after loss, caregiving and identity, life direction and discernment, values, and inner life.
Conversations may be religious, interfaith, spiritually open-ended, or nonreligious, depending on your preferences and needs.
Frequency depends on individual needs and preferences.
Many clients choose weekly sessions during periods of active transition or grief, biweekly sessions for ongoing reflection and support, or monthly sessions for longer-term growth, discernment, or life planning.
Session scheduling can be discussed during an introductory conversation.
Individual coaching sessions are typically 30–60 minutes.
Longer or specialized sessions may occasionally be arranged by agreement.
Sessions are offered by Zoom or telephone, allowing flexibility and privacy from the comfort of your home or preferred setting.
Payment is processed securely online.
Clients may pay using major credit or debit cards through a secure payment platform.
Payment instructions are provided when scheduling or confirming appointments. Policies regarding payment timing, cancellations, and rescheduling are reviewed before coaching begins.
Yes.
A brief 15-minute introductory conversation provides an opportunity to discuss your goals, ask questions, explore fit, and determine whether coaching feels appropriate for your current season of life.
There is no obligation to continue after the introductory meeting.
I often work with adults navigating grief and bereavement, retirement and life transition, caregiving challenges, questions of meaning and purpose, spiritual reflection or faith transition, and identity shifts or changing life roles.

Coaching can be deeply supportive, but it is important to understand what it is and what it is not.
Dr. Fauser Coaching does not diagnose, assess, or treat mental health conditions. If psychotherapy, clinical care, crisis support, or medical treatment would be more appropriate, referral options can be discussed.
