"Katherine's coaching taught me to love myself. I realized in our sessions that my inner child just wanted to be chosen. I learned how to say to my inner child 'I choose you.' I felt completely safe with her and like I could be myself. Since our sessions, I've thrived and felt much happier like I'm living my best life."

Both coaches and therapists help you grow, but their roles—and focus—are different.
Therapy helps you understand where you’ve been—
coaching helps you decide where you’re going next and how you want to get there.
A therapist is clinically trained to address mental health conditions, trauma, and emotional disorders. Therapy often looks to the past, helping you understand and process experiences that shaped your current behaviors and emotions. It’s a powerful tool for healing deep wounds and developing emotional stability.
However, traditional therapy can sometimes overlook the female experience—particularly for women navigating complex trauma, caregiving burnout, or invisible emotional labor. There’s still limited research on how women uniquely process and recover from trauma, which can leave many feeling unseen or misunderstood.
A coach, especially a trauma-informed life coach, bridges that gap. Coaching is future-oriented and action-focused, helping you integrate what you’ve learned in therapy into daily life.
At KataVita Coaching, we help women rebuild confidence, trust themselves again, and form healthy emotional boundaries. Because sometimes what we really need is someone who gets it.
If you’re currently searching for a therapist, coaching can also provide an emotional support structure in the meantime—offering reflection, stability, and compassion as you continue your healing journey.
Therapy is ideal if you’re:
- Experiencing severe depression or emotional distress
- Having suicidal thoughts or thoughts of self-harm
- Living with PTSD or debilitating anxiety
- Currently in—or in the process of leaving—an abusive or unsafe relationship
- Managing bipolar disorder, BPD, OCD, DID, or other clinical mood disorders
- Needing a licensed mental health professional to diagnose and treat mental health conditions
Coaching is ideal if you’re:
- Healing from toxic or unbalanced relationship patterns
- Strengthening emotional intelligence and communication skills
- Integrating what you’ve learned in therapy into daily life
- Rebuilding confidence, clarity, and self-trust after burnout, heartbreak, or loss
- Establishing healthy boundaries and maintaining emotional balance
- Neurodivergent and struggling with focus, organization, or productivity
- Creating a life guided by love, courage, and growth—not fear or perfectionism
True healing doesn’t happen overnight — it unfolds through patience, practice, and presence.

At KataVita Coaching, everything is rooted in our core values: love, courage, and growth.
Coaching isn’t about fixing who you are—it’s about coming home to who you’ve always been.
Every woman’s journey is unique—but most clients begin noticing shifts within the first few sessions. You may start to feel lighter, more self-aware, and more grounded as you break free from old thought patterns and reconnect with your inner voice.
At KataVita Coaching, we don’t rush results—we focus on integration. Real transformation happens when insight meets consistent practice. As you learn to embody what you’ve discovered in each session, the changes begin to take root and ripple into every area of your life.
Our 1-Year Coaching Program is intentionally structured to support this integration process—helping you not just understand your patterns, but truly rewire them.
Over time, you’ll build confidence, emotional balance, and deeper self-trust that lasts.
Because lasting change isn’t about doing more—it’s about doing differently, with love, courage, and growth.
That’s completely normal. Many of my clients felt the same way at first. Growth can feel uncomfortable because it asks us to let go of old versions of ourselves.
But this space is built on compassion and non-judgment. You don’t have to have it all figured out—you just have to be willing to begin
Understanding the distinction between a toxic and an abusive relationship is crucial for seeking the right support.
A toxic relationship is characterized by unhealthy patterns that can include poor communication, constant criticism, and lack of support. These relationships can drain your energy and negatively impact your well-being. A relationship coach can assist you in identifying and addressing these toxic patterns, helping you develop healthier communication and relationship strategies.
An abusive relationship, on the other hand, involves patterns of behavior that are used to gain and maintain power and control over another person. This can include physical, emotional, economic, or psychological abuse. If you find yourself in an abusive relationship, it is important to seek help from a therapist or counselor who is trained to provide the necessary support and resources.
For more detailed information on what defines a toxic vs abusive relationship, please visit The Gottman Institute's article on defining a toxic relationship.
