This agreement is for Coaching, not Therapy. While coaching can work with issues such as identifying and reaching life goals and changing the behaviors that aren’t working well for you, coaching cannot deal with issues such as depression and anxiety. For issues such as these, you must see a Physician or Licensed Mental Health Professional in your location. Although you as a client may have a diagnosis, such as Asperger’s Disorder or ADHD, coaching is not intended as a treatment or cure for that condition. By signing this agreement, you are agreeing that you understand the difference in these two functions and you will get appropriate professional help for mental health issues if necessary.

Cost of Coaching services are not covered by insurance. Payments are due before or at the time of your coaching appointment in the form of cash, credit card or pay pal. For those who are committed to creating long-term change in their lives, a coaching package will be created for the client.

About the Coaching Process

The International Coach Federation’s definition of coaching quoted in part that is as follows: “Professional Coaching is an ongoing professional relationship that helps people produce extraordinary results in their lives, careers, businesses or organizations. Through the process of coaching, clients deepen their learning, improve their performance, and enhance their quality of life. In each meeting, the client chooses the focus of conversation, while the coach listens and contributes observations and questions. This interaction creates clarity and moves the client into action. Coaching accelerates the client’s progress by providing greater focus and awareness of choice. Coaching concentrates on where clients are now and what they are willing to do to get where they want to be in the future. Coaches recognize that results are a matter of the client’s intentions, choices and actions, supported by the coach’s efforts and application of the coaching process.”
