As a parent, you want the best for your teenager’s mental health and well-being. That’s why the link by Equity Associates is here to support you and your family. We can connect your teen with licensed mental health professionals who are trained to provide online coaching and counseling sessions. Our team understands the unique challenges that teenagers face during adolescence, and we are committed to helping them develop the skills and tools they need to thrive.
Individual Coaching vs Individual Counseling
Individual coaching and counseling are two ways to work with adolescents to achieve their goals and address their emotional and psychological issues. Coaching and counseling have some differences. Individual coaching is more structured and focuses on setting and achieving goals. Counseling is more about addressing emotional and psychological issues using various therapeutic modalities.
The main difference between a counselor and a coach is the focus of their work. Counselors are trained to diagnose and treat mental illness, and their primary goal is to identify and alleviate symptoms. Coaches, on the other hand, help people set and achieve goals by providing motivation and encouragement. While there is some overlap between the two roles, with counselors sometimes emphasizing clients strengths and coaches sometimes addressing obstacles to goal achievement, the fundamental difference lies in the emphasis on symptom reduction versus goal attainment.
At the link, we offer both individual coaching and counseling to help your teen. Our online services remove proximity limitations, ensuring that all those in need have access. Our coaches are trained in evidence-based coaching techniques, including cognitive-behavioral coaching, mindfulness-based coaching, and dialectical behavior therapy coaching. Our counselors are licensed professionals trained in various therapeutic modalities to help address a wide range of mental health issues.
As a parent you want to see your teen succeed in life and have the tools to navigate through challenges.
Supporting a teenager through the unpredictable and tumultuous adolescent years can be tiring. Many parents have found that their teens face common struggles such as feeling hopeless about the future, dealing with relationship pressures, struggling to handle stress, and accepting themselves.
If this sounds familiar to you, know that you’re not alone, and there is support available the the link for both you and your teen.
Fortunately, our online coaching or counseling, through the link, can be a great way to help your teen overcome these challenges. By connecting with a professional counselor or coach, your teen can learn new skills to cope with stress, build healthy relationships, and improve their self-esteem. Online counseling or coaching is also more convenient than in-person sessions, as it eliminates the need for transportation and allows for flexible scheduling. Moreover, online counseling or coaching sessions are confidential, which can help to eliminate the stigma often associated with seeking mental health support. By working with a qualified mental health professional, your teen can get the support they need to thrive, and you can feel confident that you’re doing everything you can to help your teen succeed.

Our coaches are trained in evidence-based techniques, such as mindfulness and cognitive-behavioral therapy, to help your teen learn how to manage their emotions effectively. Lastly, whole-self awareness is about understanding and accepting all aspects of oneself.

We are in network with most major insurance providers across the state of Colorado, including Medicaid, CHP+ and Rocky Mountain Health Plans. If you are a member of any of these insurance companies, check with your insurance company to make sure behavioral health services are covered and if you have an associated co-pay. The fee for teletherapy services when a client chooses to self-pay is based on a sliding scale and depends on the household income. Please contact us for more information on self-pay rates.

You can ask your health care provider, and any other provider you choose, for a Good Faith Estimate before you schedule a service, or at any time during treatment.
