Coaching Disclaimer

Coaching is a structured, goal-focused conversation. Sessions help you clarify a goal, examine what is in the way, build a plan and stay accountable to it.

Melissa Frierson, MBA works within the scope described for each service and will refer you to a licensed professional when your situation calls for one.

• Not therapy, counseling, psychotherapy, or mental health treatment, and not a diagnosis of any condition.
• Not medical, nursing, nutrition or dietary advice.
• Not legal advice or representation.
• Not investment, tax, accounting, debt management, credit repair or bankruptcy advice.
• Not a substitute for the professional services listed above.

These terms apply to individual coaching. Advisory, CFO, bookkeeping and tax services are provided under a separate written engagement agreement.

Outcomes depend on your situation, your decisions and the work you put in between sessions. No specific result, promotion, income, business outcome, health outcome or relationship outcome is promised or guaranteed. Any example described on this site is an illustration, not a prediction.

You are responsible for the decisions you make and for the results that follow. Coaching supports your thinking and planning; it does not make decisions for you and does not act on your behalf.

Coaching is not an emergency service and messages are not monitored around the clock. In an emergency call 911 or go to the nearest emergency department. In a mental health crisis call or text 988 (Suicide and Crisis Lifeline).

Resources, books or websites mentioned during coaching or linked from this site are provided for information only. The practice does not control that content and does not endorse any product or service it describes.

This disclaimer summarizes the scope of coaching. The Master Coaching Agreement you sign at booking, together with the policies page, controls the engagement.
