Agreement
Welcome!
I have positive expectations for a relationship that helps you to create the life YOU want to live. To partner together professionally, I want you to be familiar with the following guidelines.
Terms:
I invite you to think of this as a process. Many people create change for themselves in a short time. However, to refine and sustain the change takes several months. Although not binding, I would ask that you expect our relationship to last at least three months.
Competency:
I am a board certified coach trained by the Institute for Life Coach Training (https://www.lifecoachtraining.com//) which is accredited by the Center for Credentialing and Education (https://www.cce-global.org) and the International Coaching Federation (https://coachingfederation.org). Additionally, I am an ordained minister endorsed for chaplaincy by American Baptist Churches, USA, a Board-Certified Chaplain (Association of Professional Chaplains https://www.professionalchaplains.org ), and a certified spiritual director (Global Benedictine Spiritual Direction https://benethillmonastery.org/your-spiritual-journey/spiritual-director-training/) I have a PhD in psychology and previously worked as a therapist with families with adjudicated child abuse. I am not a licensed psychologist. I do not diagnose or treat mental illness. I adhere to the codes of ethics of my denomination and all the organizations through which I am credentialed.

Problems:
-
If I ever say or do anything that upsets you or doesn't feel right (and I most likely will), please bring it to my attention so that we can resolve it as soon as possible. My objective is to have a coaching relationship that is fully open, honest, real and trusting in our communication styles.
-
We should both realize that communication always involves challenges, so we give each other plenty of latitude, and promptly ask for clarification if there is a mis-connection.
My services are not to be used as a substitute for professional advice by legal, medical, financial, business, or other qualified professionals. Please seek independent professional guidance for legal, medical, financial, business, psychological, or other matters. I do not provide psychotherapy. Everything you share is strictly confidential, except with your permission or as required by law.
