Clinician

Paul El-Meouchy, LGPC

Psychotherapist and executive coach. Roughly two decades in corporate HR and human capital before clinical practice — a rare bridge between the boardroom and the therapy room.

Therapy and coaching are not the same thing

Psychotherapy is licensed clinical care, provided under Paul's District of Columbia counseling licence, and it is confidential within the standard legal limits of any therapy. Executive coaching is not therapy — it is not licensed mental-health treatment, it is not a substitute for clinical care, and it is not appropriate if what you need is treatment for a mental-health condition. If we ever think coaching isn't the right container for what you're carrying, we'll say so and help you find therapy instead. The two are engaged separately, under separate agreements.

Approach

Evidence-based, worldly, exacting.

Paul brings a coach's structural clarity into depth-oriented therapy. Clients often say his work makes room for both the strategic self and the tender one — without asking either to hide.
