Common Questions
Is behavioral coaching the same as skills training?
Yes. At Confianza Health, behavioral coaching is another name for our skills training.
How is skills training different from therapy?
Therapy explores thoughts, feelings, experiences and relationships. Skills training focuses on practicing specific abilities. The two often work together: skills training can turn what's worked on in therapy into everyday habits.
