As a life coach, I provide services to help people reach their ultimate potential. I am not a licensed therapist or counselor. I don’t assess, diagnose, or treat mental, emotional, or behavioral disorders. I don’t apply mental health counseling or other psychotherapeutic principles and methods in my work. Instead, I focus on helping people get from where they are to where they want to be.

 

I am not a licensed psychologist in Oregon, I don’t practice psychology as that is defined under Oregon law and I don’t represent myself to be a psychologist.” In addition, my coaching services are not professional counseling services, as defined by Oregon law. I don’t represent myself to be a licensed professional counselor. Nothing on my website, in my marketing materials, in client appointments, or in communications with anyone is meant to say that I provide services for which Oregon requires a license.

 

Neither of these licenses is necessary for me to provide my clients with the tools to become who they want to be. If I believe it is appropriate for you to see a licensed psychologist or counselor, to supplement our work, I will make a referral.
