If you’re in the middle of a life shift—a career change, a big move, a relationship ending (or beginning), or just a season of reevaluation—you might be asking:
These are great questions. And it’s important to get it right. The kind of support you need depends on where you are, what you’re facing, and what you’re hoping to build next.
At Lil’ Bird, we’re clear:
We’re not therapy. We’re not crisis response. We’re not here to dig through your past trauma.
We are here to help you get unstuck, clarify what matters most, and move forward with purpose.
Here’s a quick breakdown:
| Life Coaching 🐦 | Therapy 🧠 |
|---|---|
| Future-focused – Helps you gain clarity, momentum, and direction. | Past-rooted – Helps you process trauma, emotional pain, and mental health struggles. |
| Empowers healthy, functional people in transition | Supports people in emotional distress or with clinical diagnoses |
| Action-oriented – Helps you set goals and build habits that align with your values. | Healing-oriented – Focuses on unpacking root causes, trauma, and internal healing. |
| Led by trained coaches – Focused on personal growth, not clinical care. | Led by licensed professionals – Therapists are credentialed to treat mental health conditions. |
| Not medical – We don’t diagnose or treat. | Medical framework – Includes diagnosis, treatment plans, and (sometimes) medication. |
Coaching is ideal if you’re:
✅ Weighing a career or life decision and need clarity
✅ Wanting to make changes but feeling stuck or overwhelmed
✅ Trying to define what’s next after a major life event
✅ Looking to build new habits, courage, or confidence
✅ Ready to grow, but not in emotional crisis
