Disclaimer
Last updated: December 2024
Please read this disclaimer carefully before engaging with my coaching services. By using my services, you acknowledge that you have read, understood, and agree to this disclaimer.
Coaching Is Not Therapy
I am a certified coach, not a licensed therapist, psychologist, psychiatrist, or medical professional. Coaching is a partnership designed to help you achieve personal and professional goals through conversation, reflection, and action planning.
Coaching does not:
- Diagnose or treat mental health conditions
- Provide therapy or counseling
- Replace professional medical or psychological treatment
- Address clinical disorders such as depression, anxiety disorders, PTSD, or other mental illnesses
If you are experiencing mental health issues, suicidal thoughts, or are in crisis, please seek help from a qualified mental health professional or emergency services immediately.
No Guarantees
While I am committed to providing high-quality coaching and supporting your growth, I cannot guarantee specific results. The outcomes of coaching depend on many factors, including:
- Your commitment and effort
- Your willingness to be honest and open
- Your implementation of insights and strategies
- External circumstances beyond our control
Testimonials and case studies on this website represent individual experiences and are not guarantees of future results.
Personal Responsibility
You are fully responsible for your own choices, actions, and results. Coaching provides guidance, support, and perspective, but all decisions you make during and after coaching are your own. I am not responsible for any consequences resulting from actions you take based on our coaching conversations.
Website Content
The content on this website, including blog posts, articles, and other materials, is provided for informational and educational purposes only. It is not intended as professional advice specific to your situation.
While I strive to provide accurate and helpful information, I make no warranties about the completeness, reliability, or accuracy of this content. Any action you take based on the information on this website is strictly at your own risk.
External Links
This website may contain links to external websites. I am not responsible for the content, privacy practices, or accuracy of external sites. The inclusion of any link does not imply endorsement or recommendation.
Shadow Work Disclaimer
Shadow work involves exploring unconscious patterns, repressed emotions, and disowned aspects of the self. This process can bring up intense emotions and may be challenging.
Shadow work through coaching is appropriate for:
- Generally mentally healthy individuals seeking personal growth
- Those wanting to understand their behavioral patterns
- People looking to improve self-awareness and relationships
Shadow work through coaching is NOT appropriate for:
- Processing severe trauma (please work with a trauma-informed therapist)
- Treating clinical mental health conditions
- Crisis intervention
If you are unsure whether coaching is right for you, please discuss this with me during a discovery call or consult with a mental health professional.
Gottman Certification
I am Gottman Level 2 trained, which means I have completed training in the Gottman Method for relationship therapy. However, I apply these principles within a coaching context, not as therapy. For clinical relationship therapy, please consult a licensed Gottman therapist.
Earnings Disclaimer
Any references to business results, income, or success stories are for illustrative purposes only. Your results will vary based on your specific circumstances, effort, and many other factors. I make no claims that you will achieve similar results.
