Deep dives
New Regulations for Life Coaches in Utah
A new law in Utah aims to address the unregulated practice of life coaching, particularly when it overlaps with mental health services. It specifies that only licensed therapists are authorized to provide mental health treatment, seeking to clarify existing regulations that were sometimes ambiguous. While this law is a significant step forward, there are concerns about its efficacy due to a lack of funding for enforcement and oversight. As a result, many unlicensed coaches might continue operating without facing repercussions, similar to speeders ignoring traffic laws when there is no police presence.
