State officials are urging Utahns to be careful of where they turn for mental health advice. They said some life coaches are offering therapy when they’re not legally allowed to do so. They’re also worried about therapists going into the life-coaching industry after they’ve lost their license to practice.
“I’ll save you ten years of everything I’ve studied, and you’ll learn it all in my six-week program," she said. The life-coaching industry has come under fire after the arrests of Jodi Hildebrant and Ruby Franke. State Sen. David Hinkins introduced Senate Bill 251, which establishes rules for becoming a life coach, and it allows the state to revoke their registration if that coach breaks the rules.
Even though there is no statewide regulation over the life-coaching industry, there are things that only licensed therapists are allowed to do. For instance, coaches are not allowed to diagnose anyone with a condition like anxiety or depression, and they’re not permitted to develop treatment plans.Utah lawmakers consider bill to regulate life coach standards after Ruby Franke child abuse case
“If they move into life-coaching, it could be OK, but in all likelihood, they’re going to want to continue to keep practicing what they were doing before, which they’re no longer authorized to do. So, it’s, kind of, the ‘you know better’ type of thing,” according to Steinagel.
