Frequently Asked Questions
What is the difference between Deeper Coaching and counseling?
The difference between coaching and counseling is that a professional counselor can diagnose and treat issues, a coach cannot. A counselor will most often focus on a specific issue that the client came in for. In Deeper Coaching we will focus on specific issues, and also connect those issues with the larger trajectory of the client’s life. It is a wholistic approach healing the past, integrating the past with the present, and confidently moving into the future. I often use the analogy of a broken limb. Counseling, therapy, psychiatry and psychology are like emergency surgery and Deeper Coaching is like the physical therapy that teaches you how to live with, strengthen and heal the limb over time.
Do you take insurance?
I do not take insurance. If you need help financially, please contact me to talk more about scholarships and discounts.
If I don’t want to do six months of coaching, are there other options?
Yes, there are many other options. We can do individual sessions when it is helpful to you or create a unique coaching schedule that works for you. Please contact me today to discuss your options.
What demographics do you work with?
I have worked with men and women from many different walks of life and ages. I have worked with everything from middle schoolers in their young teens to grandparents in their mid-sixties. I have worked with CEOs, military veterans, ministry leaders, and unemployed. I have worked with people that are single, dating, married, married with kids and divorced.
Where do you meet?
For local clients I have an office in my home that is suitable. I have also met on walking paths, in libraries, church offices, and other neutral locations. For non-local clients I mostly meet on the phone and have occasionally met on Facetime or Zoom video meetings.

What is the Deeper Weekly Reading?
The Deeper Weekly Reading is a subscription to a weekly article that is written about relevant topics related to coaching and spiritual, emotional and relational health. It is mostly written by Matt but there are occasional guest writers. Subscribe HERE.
Is there a faith element to what you do?
Yes. I consider myself a Christ-Follower and have a background in Christianity. I believe healing and transformation come best through walking intimately with God. This being said, I have no interest in convincing anyone what or how they should believe. I want to help you on your journey, not try to get you to take the same path as me. I look forward to talking to you more about this! Contact me to ask questions and find out more.
