DISCLAIMERS

Consent for Wellness Coaching & Disclaimer 

Please be advised that while your wellness coach is also a licensed psychologist, wellness coaching is NOT therapy and you will NOT be under your coaches care as a patient.


Therapy is the process of meeting with a licensed professional in a confidential environment for the purpose of alleviating emotional distress and resolving problematic behaviors, beliefs, feelings and related physical symptoms that are causing mental distress or illness. Therapy includes a full psychological evaluation and treatment plan, and relies upon the interpersonal relationship between you and the therapist to facilitate healing.

During wellness coaching, you will NOT receive a psychological evaluation, diagnosis, or treatment plan. Also, while we ask group members to maintain everyone's privacy, the sessions are not legally bound by confidentiality. 

Our Wellness Coaching Sessions are group appointments where you will get guidance on a specific issue and/or learn new skills that you’ll be able to apply to your life. Think of it as guided self-help with the added bonus of an expert facilitator and team of people to practice with and to hold you accountable. 

Wellness coaching should NOT be used as a substitute for therapy nor should your coach’s advice take the place of your current therapist or physician. If you need help with emotional pain, your coach will be able to provide you with recommended resources.
