Frequently Asked Questions
-
What sets Verdera’s coaching and team development approach apart?
We take a behavioral, trauma-informed approach grounded in psychological safety, intentional practice, and real-world application. Nothing we do is off-the-shelf. Ever. Each engagement is shaped by your goals, your context, and the behaviors you want to strengthen. Our work is designed to create lasting change—not a temporary boost that fades once the session ends.
-
How is coaching different from therapy?
Coaching is not therapy, and we are not therapists. Therapy focuses on healing, processing past experiences, and addressing mental health concerns. Coaching focuses on the future—helping you identify the behavioral shifts, habits, and leadership practices that will move you toward the life and career you want.
Our work complements therapy by giving you a supportive space to translate insight into action. We help you strengthen self-awareness, build new patterns, and practice behaviors that align with your goals. If you are in therapy, coaching can sit alongside it as a practical, forward-moving partner—not a replacement.
-
Do you offer payment plan options?
Yes. Affordability matters to us, and we strongly believe cost should NEVER be a barrier to growth. We offer flexible payment plans and will work with you to create a schedule that aligns with your budget and comfort level.
-
Do you only work with women?
Yes(ish). Our mission, vision, and values are centered on the unique challenges women face in their life experience—and the support, clarity, and space they deserve to grow.
Coaching: We work exclusively with women.
Team Development: We partner with woman-led teams, including those with mixed-gender members. We simply do not facilitate sessions for male-led teams.

How do I know if I'm ready for coaching?
Readiness for coaching isn’t about having everything figured out—it’s about being willing to look inward with honesty, curiosity, and compassion. You’re ready if you sense that something in your behavior, mindset, or patterns needs to shift…and you’re open to exploring what that looks like.
You don’t need perfect clarity or a polished goal. Many women come to coaching simply knowing they want to gain confidence, feel more grounded, or develop alignment with who they can become.
If you’re willing to reflect, experiment with new behaviors, and take small, consistent steps forward, you’re ready. Coaching meets you exactly where you are—and helps you move intentionally toward where you want to be.
-
Do you offer in-person coaching or team development?
Our coaching work is 100% virtual. Because coaching often involves sensitive topics, personal reflection, and honest conversations, it’s important that we meet in a private, confidential environment—not a workplace conference room or a public setting. Virtual sessions create the psychological safety and consistency needed for meaningful progress.
Our team development work can be delivered in person (we can travel to you) or virtually, depending on your needs. We are fully equipped to facilitate high-impact sessions in either format. Whether onsite with your team or leading a virtual experience, our focus remains the same: creating an engaging, supportive environment that strengthens connection, insight, and behavior change.
